CCC Spartanburg: Breaking Down the 2028/29 Offensive Linemen

SPARTANBURG | If it hasn't become clear already, the Carolinas Coaches Combine stop at Spartanburg was rife with talented players.   All classes and all position groups had their time to shine, yet, as we've mentioned before, the most attention was drawn by the one-on-one battles between the offensive and defensive linemen.   That was the trend from the first session all the way until the third, when the underclassmen showed that the trenches are in good hands for years to come.   We've covered the defensive linemen from the 2028 and 2029 classes, so now here's a dive into the guys who will be tasked with stopping them for the next three or four seasons.   [player_tooltip player_id='1816519' first='Shaq' last='Aghenebit'] Northwestern   Aghenebit drew praise from coaches for his agility during individual drills, and that kind of movement is frightening for the guy with the largest wing span (86.5 inches) of the session by a wide margin.   [player_tooltip player_id='1823770' first='Tiraji' last='Bradley'] Berea   Bradley, at just under 6-foot-2 and 252 pounds, posted good numbers across the board during the combine portion of the session, and he didn't slow down once the festivities switched over to individual drills and one-on-ones.   [player_tooltip player_id='1821178' first='Thomas' last='Bull'] J.L. Mann   Bull may look like he still has some room to add to his 6-foot-3, 236-pound frame, but don't be fooled. He stood in strong at left tackle during one-on-ones, and that was against some pretty stout pass rushers.   [player_tooltip player_id='1818427' first='Jayden' last='Cunningham'] Greenwood   Cunningham showed during one-on-one drills that he's going to keep the interior clean, standing his ground at left guard and doing the same once he swapped to the right side.   [player_tooltip player_id='1820361' first='James' last='Frist'] Mauldin   Frist has a strong base and drives well from his legs, which he showed in the on-paper portion with a position-best broad jump of 106 inches and backed up in the drills that followed.   [player_tooltip player_id='1820968' first='Willie' last='Hill'] Silver Bluff   Silver Bluff is looking for leaders up front after graduating five senior offensive linemen, and Hill looks ready to step into a starring role. He was the fastest of the group during the session and also had a respectable showing on the bench press.   [player_tooltip player_id='892137' first='Kiyan' last='Jones'] York   There's not much more that needs to be said beyond Jones earning best OL honors, but beyond the numbers was his attitude. He wants to compete and succeed, and in this setting he did just that. And there's no reason to think that stops in Spartanburg.   [player_tooltip player_id='1816323' first='Levi' last='Jones'] Chesterfield   Jones showed he can change directions quickly, and not just for an offensive lineman. His position-best pro shuttle time of 4.65 seconds matched multiple defensive backs.   [player_tooltip player_id='1825543' first='Jeremiah' last='Lewis'] C.A. Johnson   Lewis stood tallest among the offensive linemen at this session, checking in at a shade under 6-foot-6 and a lean 259 pounds. He has a big wing span to match, too.   [player_tooltip player_id='1793500' first='Derrius' last='Littlejohn'] Greenwood   Not the tallest, not the heaviest, not the fastest, not the strongest during the combine portion, but none of that mattered when no one could get past him during one-on-one competition.   [player_tooltip player_id='1151291' first='Brody' last='Lorenzo'] Dutch Fork   Our top-ranked player in the state posted a session-best mark on the bench press with 35 reps, and the 297-pounder ran a lot better than some of his smaller counterparts.   [player_tooltip player_id='1824949' first='Jackson' last='Miller'] Powdersville   Powdersville continues to trend upward in the trenches thanks to players like Miller, who at just under 6-foot-4 and 255 pounds with a big wing span looks ready to be a leader up front.   [player_tooltip player_id='2173701' first='Henry' last='(Hank) Olds'] Chapin   Olds, at 6-foot-4 and 289 pounds, had one of the best outings at the guard spots, particularly on the left side, of anyone in this session.   [player_tooltip player_id='1817880' first='Jace' last='Patterson'] Clinton   Patterson couldn't be moved during his reps in one-on-ones, but he certainly did move during individual work. His 4.66-second pro shuttle was one of the best of the group.   [player_tooltip player_id='1816496' first='Jonah' last='Prater'] Clover   Prater plays much bigger than his 223-pound frame may suggest, and his strong hands are a big reason why. He ranked among the tops of the position group in several combine categories.   [player_tooltip player_id='1824419' first='Tony' last='Tinch Jr'] Crescent   Tinch showed that he was willing to play the long game in order to win reps during one-on-ones. He fought until the whistle, which usually blew with the tackling dummy untouched.   [player_tooltip player_id='1823234' first='Makhi' last='Williams'] Riverside   Williams (pictured) has some room to pack on to his 6-foot frame with a nice wing span. He ran well during the combine, and more impressive was his change of direction during the pro shuttle.
