<p>We'll talk about it every week in the fall leading up to each Friday night, the same way we have for generations and the same way we will for even more years to come.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>All of those shiny, flashy weapons on the offensive side of the ball draw the most attention, but those guys know as well as anyone that they're not going anywhere if there's not enough time to set up the play.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>We've already taken a look at some <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/04/ccc-2028-2029-defensive-line-breakdown/">impressive defensive linemen from the 2028 and 2029 classes</a> from the Carolinas Coaches Combine stop at Woodland, and now it's time to dive into some offensive linemen that are going to clear the way for their skill guys to operate for the next few seasons.</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<p>Lorenz displayed plenty of power and explosiveness with a strong upper body, and his medicine ball throw of 35.5 feet was one of the best of Session III.</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<p>Schuhmann was one of the standouts on the interior of the line during one-on-ones, more than holding his own against defensive tackles from his guard spot. He is slotted to be the Lions' starting right tackle this fall. </p>
