TN2026 Best Available (Trench Monsters)

<!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">As we inch closer to the final signing day for our in-state senior class, plenty of quality big men remain available on the open market. According to our Tennessee Top 500, these offensive &amp; defensive linemen below are the best un-committed prospects left looking for a college home. </h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/tennessee/rankings/2026-rankings/">Tennessee Top 500</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(OG) [player_tooltip player_id='1453995' first='Moussa' last='Seck'] - McCallie&nbsp; (36th overall/9th O-line)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- A brute mauler that can push his man off the line or to the ground, Seck is the top offensive lineman remaining from our TN2026 class that brings interior versatility to the playing field. This Chattanooga area big man has some of the best get-off, explosion off the line in the state along with a violent approach up front that O-line college coaches would enjoy working with. Seck is an athletic guy that moves well but can become even more agile with continued on-field development. I am quite sure Seck will be signed in the next month and begin his college career but I don't know where that will be. Whoever lands this guy could be getting a multi-year starter down the road with All-Conference potential.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- - - - -&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(OG/C) [player_tooltip player_id='1218536' first='Jeremy' last='George'] - Knox. Catholic&nbsp; (77th overall/14th O-line)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Probably one of the more vastly improved linemen we had this past season, George recently landed an offer from Tennessee and that may be the school that finally takes him out of this best available list. The Fighting Irish big man is a wide based blocker with easy moving feet that allows him to work well in both his run blocking and pass protection. George is interior versatile, meaning I could see developing at either guard or center. What I like most about this East Tennessee talent is his physicality and tenacious mentality. I think the best football days are ahead for George and whoever signs him could be landing a steal and a multi-year starter.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2070686,"width":"255px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/11/jgeorge.jpg?w=700" alt="" class="wp-image-2070686" style="width:255px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- - - - -&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(DT) [player_tooltip player_id='1103026' first='Bennett' last='Spillman'] - Brentwood Academy&nbsp; (96th overall/13th D-line)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Spillman could be a late riser on the college level that turns into a disruptive interior rusher that consistently gets after the football. He shows those flashes and traits along with potential to continue improving as he matures and grows. The Eagles senior D-lineman is a versatile piece that could play on the end if needed but his best upside sits inside as a 3-tech where he can rush the backfield. Spillman added several offers throughout the process but has yet to make a decision. He is a definite FCS level prospect that I think can form himself into a D1 guy one day but Spillman must get after it and develop at a proper rate for that to happen.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- - - - -&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(DT) [player_tooltip player_id='1671226' first='Kylan' last='Sharp'] - Munford&nbsp; (109th overall/14th D-line)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Sharp had a breakout senior year that boosted his recruiting stock and PRZTN ranking significantly to become one of the best interior D-Tackle prospects we have from our senior class, yet he remains available for the taking. Where Sharp took his game to a new level this past season was in his explosion off the ball and increased speed in pursuit. The Cougars senior big man became highly disruptive this year where he displayed enhanced skill at getting after the passer while remaining stout versus the run. Sharp may be a tad undersized when it comes to height but this guy can play and I like his upside to improve further once in the college ranks.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- - - - -&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(OL) [player_tooltip player_id='1367238' first='ZaColby' last='Malone'] - Whitehaven&nbsp; (113th overall/22nd O-line)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Sitting just inside our Top 115 prospects, Malone is a long term, possible big pay off prospect that shows the potential to play tackle in college but could possibly develop at several positions. The Tigers senior is an athletic guy with a mobile lower base that shows up in his pass protection. Malone needs time to continue developing his body while adding in more power and strength but the raw athletic tools are in place to become a college starter one day. At one point, Malone held several college options but being this late in the game, I'm not sure where things stand with his recruitment but I'm sure this Memphis area prospect will be signing come February.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/tennessee/rankings/2026-rankings/?position=OL">#TN2026 Offensive Line Rankings</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- - - - -&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(OG/C) [player_tooltip player_id='1206520' first='Xavier' last='Wade'] - Baylor&nbsp; (114th overall/23rd O-line)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- A multi-year starter for one of the best O-line units in the state, Wade sits available on the open market, looking for a college home. What this Red Raider big man brings to the field is a technique sound game play along with interior versatility that could develop well at either guard or center. Wade has good size and a frame that can push on more weight. He has solid length as well. The biggest thing for Wade is about gaining more power while developing his lower half agility. If this Chattanooga area prospect can live in the weight room while developing his on-field skill set, I can see Wade gaining a starting college spot one day and becoming a dependable ball player.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2108843,"width":"315px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2026/01/xwade-crop-630x414-1768860734.jpg?w=629" alt="" class="wp-image-2108843" style="width:315px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- - - - -&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(OT/G) [player_tooltip player_id='889088' first='Jordon' last='Shaw'] - Stewarts Creek&nbsp; (125th overall/25th O-line)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Sporting nice height and length along with a slender frame that can pack on more size, Shaw is an athletic guy with a lot of upside that is still looking for a place to call home. The Red Hawks senior O-lineman brings a lot of good traits to the field that speaks towards him becoming a college starter one day. The way Shaw is built and how he plays shows potential for him to handle tackle in college. If that doesn't work out, I can see this Mid-TN product developing nicely on the interior. He recently landed offers from Southern Illinois and VMI with a trip set to see the Keydets in the next few weeks. I wouldn't be surprised to see others get on board here late in the process due to his athletic profile and college upside.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- - - - -&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(DT) [player_tooltip player_id='1258053' first='Christian' last='Wilson'] - Volunteer&nbsp; (133rd overall/16th D-line)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Wilson has been under the radar for far too long but hopefully somebody will get on board with one of the more disruptive D-linemen we have from our senior class. Coming his lone season with Volunteer, where he produced 38 tackles for loss, Wilson is tough to block up front due to his active hands, powerful upper body and deceptively athletic lower base. This guy is a fighter too, meaning he works his tail off to develop himself and produce when his number is called. It's hard to pinpoint one exact reason why Wilson is still available this late in the process but he is. I think whoever signs him will be getting a steal and potential multi-year starter that could work his way into All-Conference contention.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2108838,"width":"259px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2026/01/chriswilson.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2108838" style="width:259px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- - - - -&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(DT) [player_tooltip player_id='1288081' first='Caleb' last='Woods'] - Riverdale&nbsp; (159th overall/18th D-line)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Woods is one guy on this list that sits way under the radar without a lot of recruiting attention but sports the physical build and game play to add value on the next level. This guy is a rock in the middle that is hard to move off his spot but Woods is a good athlete too that fires off the ball well and provides a pass rush into the backfield. He does need to continue adding more weight as he gets into college but Woods might prove to be one of the better 3-tech prospects we have coming out of this class. Our second signing day is coming soon and I expect Woods to sign but right now, it's not clear as to where that will be. Wherever he lands, the Warriors big man could develop into an eventual starter that produces a ton.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/tennessee/rankings/2026-rankings/?position=DL">#TN2026 Defensive Line Rankings</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- - - - -&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(OL) [player_tooltip player_id='402531' first='Charles' last='Humphrey Jr.'] - Anderson Co.&nbsp; (163rd overall/27th O-line)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- At one point in time, Humphrey was committed to Mississippi St. but now sits on the open market, looking for his college destination. Standing 6 '7, nearly 300 pounds, this East Tennessee product has the physical size wanted on the next level but Humphrey must develop his athleticism and lower base agility further to become a multi-year starter. Tools are in place for Humphrey to develop further and become the kind of prospect his profile presents. Humphrey is recently coming off an official visit to Southern, who may be the favorite to land him but other options could present themselves before signing day arrives. We will see how things play out but Humphrey may be worth a flier this late in the process on someone that could become a starter at tackle or guard one day.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- - - - -&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Next Ten Best Available</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(DE) <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1704958' first='Jevon' last='Carter'] </strong>- East Nashville&nbsp; (<strong>175th overall/19th D-line</strong>)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(DE) <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1275120' first='Jysen' last='Grant'] </strong>- Dyersburg&nbsp; (<strong>176th overall/20th D-line</strong>)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(OG/C) <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1649882' first='Tristan' last='Nash'] </strong>- Jackson Christian&nbsp; (<strong>190th overall/28th O-line</strong>)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(OL) <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1250497' first='Devin' last='Rightor'] </strong>- Green Hill&nbsp; (<strong>194th overall/30th O-line</strong>)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(OG/C) <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1566272' first='Langston' last='Reed'] </strong>- Collierville&nbsp; (<strong>199th overall/33rd O-line</strong>)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(DT) <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2042200' first='Mael' last='Rodney'] </strong>- McCallie&nbsp; (<strong>206th overall/21st D-line</strong>)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(OG/C) <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1621929' first='Baker' last='Correll'] </strong>- Dobyns-Bennett&nbsp; (<strong>211th overall/34th O-line</strong>)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(OG/C) <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1291568' first='Elijah' last='Clark'] </strong>- Riverdale&nbsp; (<strong>213th overall/36th O-line</strong>)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(OG) <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1671580' first='Marshall' last='Lamberes'] </strong>- Marshall Co.&nbsp; (<strong>216th overall/37th O-line</strong>)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(DL) <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1588109' first='Jarius' last='Jones'] </strong>- Pope Prep&nbsp; (<strong>231st overall/23rd D-line</strong>)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2108851,"width":"305px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2026/01/mlamberes.jpg?w=700" alt="" class="wp-image-2108851" style="width:305px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image -->
