Underclassmen OL Sleepers - '28 and '29

Offensive linemen are the unsung heroes in any team's success, receiving little to no recognition when the offense is explosive and getting the majority of the criticism when they struggle to move the ball. The unranked prospects below bolster their lines by dominating at the line of scrimmage. Additionally, each of them earned All-Region Honors in 2025.    Nwose is a long, athletic lineman who was interchangeable between guard and tackle in 2025. He excels in zone run schemes. On zone runs, his length helps him to beat defenders into his play side gap and anchors down to eventually either turning them inside or rooting them out. Likewise, if he is on the back side of the scheme, he has the athleticism to cut off defensive linemen at the line of scrimmage and linebackers on the second level. His athleticism is very visible in pass pro, as he has an explosive kick step that gives him depth to meet pass rushers off the edge.      Atkins is a sleeping giant; his size alone will pique the interest of college coaches. He pairs his size with a diverse skill set at the tackle position, showing that he can make every type of block on film: reach, gap, scoop, pass set, and what impresses most of all is seeing him release on tunnel screens and block DBs in space.      McCart is physical and nasty at the heart of the offensive line. McCart is great in gap schemes, having great lateral mobility to block back on any interior DL technique, and has the base and power to hold up 0 techniques solo. In pass pro, he anchors down to prevent any interior rush on the QB. He also shows the ability to release and block second-level defenders in space on screen passes.      Hilton is a punishing guard who finishes blocks and buries defenders into the turf consistently on film. He excels in gap scheme runs, either washing everything down in his gap (often ending up on top of the defensive lineman on the ground) or kicking out edge defenders as a puller. His first step is explosive, but what's more impressive is his second step, which is when you see his power take over. When pulling, he has great fundamentals, running inside to out on the OL, fitting his hands inside of the defender's breast plate, and driving them out.      Wright belongs at the point of attack on any run concept. He can wash defenders down to the next gap and has the athleticism to climb and latch onto second-level defenders. He is versatile, as he can play both tackle and guard. Wright is also an effective puller from the tackle and guard position, both as the kick and as the wrap. His length gives him an advantage in pass pro. Once his long arms lock onto a rusher, they are essentially neutralized.      Walker is exceptional in pass pro. He has fast feet that help him to gain depth in his quick step, and also redirect to match the rusher if they try to beat him off the edge with speed. Walker also has the strength to stalemate a defender if they try to use power to bull rush.      Hare is a massive and athletic mauler at tackle. At 300 pounds, he has a natural forward lean, easily washing down defenders in his gap. He is also extremely athletic on zone runs, running down defenders in space before driving them 20 yards downfield. Hare has heavy hands, which shock defenders on his initial strike to their chest. Once his hands are locked, the defender has little to no chance to come free.
