2027 Rankings Update 7.0: OL

As we get deeper into the month of March, the 2026 high school football offseason is in full swing. With that being said, we have begun a new round of rankings updates in the state of Kentucky. The class of 2027 is our latest update to be released with an updated Top 225. Now that those have been released, I have been taking the past week to break them down by position. After already covering the offensive skill players, here are our top offensive linemen in the class of 2027 in the state of Kentucky.    [player_tooltip player_id='378828' first='Brady' last='Hull'] has continued to solidify himself as the top offensive lineman in his class over the past few seasons. Hull lined up at left tackle as a junior but he has shown the versatility to play multiple positions across the offensive line. As a run blocker, Hull does a great job of exploding out of his stance and driving his feet through contact to drive his man several yards down the field with ease. He has also proven to be reliable in pass protection , showing the ability to maintain a strong base and keep inside position with his hands while taking on contact. Hull is committed to Kentucky where I can see him developing into a key member of their offensive line unit once he gets there.     [player_tooltip player_id='500073' first='Justyn' last='Perez'] is another highly regarded 2027 offensive lineman in Kentucky. As a junior, he lined up at right guard where he was able to assert his dominance in the run game. Perez is very explosive out of his stance and does a great job of driving his feet through contact then finishing his blocks through the whistle, often ending in a pancake block. He has also shown the ability to get to the second level with a sense of urgency and pick up blocks in the open field. In pass protection, Perez does a great job of fighting with his hands to defeat pass rush moves with ease. Justyn currently holds several Power 4 offers and I expect that list to continue to grow this offseason.     [player_tooltip player_id='1284258' first='Rahzeon' last='Gillispie'] is coming off a strong junior year at left tackle for the Broncos. He is a very impressive run blocker as he uses his physicality and strength to his advantage to drive his man out of the picture quickly to create a running lane for the ball carrier. Gillispie is also impressive in open space, showing the athleticism to get to the second level quickly followed by the awareness to pick up blocks on long runs. Rahzeon currently holds multiple Division I offers and I can see more coming his way heading into his senior year.     [player_tooltip player_id='1715699' first='Austin' last='Sloan'] had a very impressive junior season at right tackle for Campbellsville. In pass protection, Sloan uses his smooth footwork to get into his pass sets quickly and stay in front of opposing pass rushers off the edge to keep them away from the quarterback. He also does a good job of keeping a strong base while absorbing contact, not allowing easy penetration into the pocket. Austin is also impressive as a run blocker, showing the ability to drive his man down the field with ease and finish his blocks through the whistle. Sloan currently holds offers from Eastern Kentucky and Miami (OH), and I wouldn't be surprised to see more come his way soon.     To wrap up our top five offensive linemen in the class of 2027 in the state of Kentucky, I have [player_tooltip player_id='1222652' first='Xavier' last='Carter']. Carter lines up at right tackle where he is a dominant run blocker. He creates movement off the line of scrimmage with ease then uses his strong leg drive/high motor to finish his blocks several yards down the field. In pass protection, Carter has shown the ability to mirror opposing pass rushers while keeping a strong base and inside position with his hands. Xavier currently holds offers from UT-Martin and Southern Mississippi, and I can see more offers piling up for him moving forward.
