<p>Another strong offensive line class in the state of Illinois! There are power 4 prospects all up and down the list. These are the top returners to the rankings on the line!</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1329014' first='Cameron' last='Wagner'] (St. Joseph Ogden)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Wagner is the top offensive lineman in the class. The massive left tackle moves incredibly well for his size. Elite footwork and base. He plows over defenders running them into the ground. The athleticism allows him to get to the second level blocking downfield. Sound technically with his use of angles. Elite pass protector with his footwork and knowing how to use his length to keep defenders out of his body. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1335278' first='Luke' last='Injaychock'] (Nazareth)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Nazareth right tackle goes 6'6” 285 pounds. Broad shoulders and super strong. Mauls in the run game pushing defenders off the line of scrimmage and driving them with his lower half. He locks in and drives them downfield. Technically sound with everything he does. Good athlete getting to the second level when needed and pulling. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='901504' first='Carlos' last='Rios'] (DePaul Prep)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Rios is one of the more underrecruited players in the senior class. We love his tape as he is a big right tackle that has outstanding footwork and movement skills. The athleticism jumps out when he is blocking in space along with in pass protection. Great kick using his length and strong hands. Good on combo blocks. One of the top pass pro tackles in the class as he is so nimble with his footwork. The 6'6” 290 pound tackle did not allow a single sack all year.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1598833' first='Mason' last='Halliman'] (Lincoln Way East)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Halliman is an athletic 6'5” 270 pound offensive tackle that continues to get better! So quick and explosive in the run game creating holes for his backs to get through. Great balance and length used in pass protection. Can stand them up at the line or if they try to go wide he will run them into the ground. What might stand out most is not where he is now, but where he will be once he continues to add more strength on his frame to go with his elite athleticism.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1344896' first='Brogan' last='Kjellesvik'] (Morris)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Big and physical that can block well on the move from his left tackle spot. Gets out on screens making plays for his receivers. Pancake machine that mauls against opponents in the run. They end up on the ground more times than not. Plays with a good base and use of angles.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='472668' first='Josiah' last='Wallace'] (Glenbard West)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Wallace is a big and athletic tackle at 6'7” and 300 pounds! Elite frame and has a balanced base! Love how for how tall he is he gets low driving opponents off the ball. Light on his feet and uses his length extremely well in pass protection go keep edge rushers out of his body. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1335452' first='Ethan' last='Posey'] (Brother Rice)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Brother Rice 6'4” 300 pound offensive tackle didn't allow any sacks all year in their run to a state title. First thing that stands out with Posey is the power in his hands throwing guys to the ground even in pass protection. Pushes man up field in pass protection them shows them the ground for the rest of the play. Posey uses good technique combined with his physical tools. Think he brings positional versatility to slide to right tackle or even guard if needed.</p>
