<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Georgia is a state were having great offensive, and defensive linemen are a must because it is such a physical and fast game and it's important to win in the trenches first.

He stepped into a big role as a freshman starting at the traditional powerhouse, Rome. He done a tremendous job being a pivotal piece to that offensive line and this year he will be looked upon as one of the leaders as a sophomore. He is going to be excellent with his strength, and he will surprise a lot of people who haven't played against him yet because he can move at his size. His D1 offers include Georgia Tech, Tennessee and Wake Forrest. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2224743"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a2716abe0eb4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2224743' first='Demarius' last='Collins'] is another young and talented offensive lineman out of Rome who also brings a lot of size to the trenches for the Wolves standing at near 6'4 and 280 pounds. He can move great and he has the ability to use his strength in the run game, but he is just as impressive in the passing game. Collins is going to be a massive part of this Rome offense this season. Collins currently holds D1 offers including Georgia Tech.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["531964"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a2716abe0f13"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='531964' first='Kelsey' last='Adams'] is a guy who can dominate in the trenches and has done it. Adams has imposing size and has the skillset that helps his team perform at a high level. He has a next level ability and is someone who is going to be a force this fall against defenses. They certainly have their work cut out for them playing against Adams. He currently holds D1 offers from UGA, LSU among others.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1584788"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a2716abe0f6d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1584788' first='KJ' last='Green'] is a freak off the edge using his size and length coming around the end. He has a great ability and speed to reach the quarterback or running backs. He is very difficult to block as an offensive lineman, and he keeps them on their toes all game. He is an extreme force coming off the edge and will have a huge season this fall. He is currently committed to LSU.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1333733"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a2716abe0fc6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">one of the best offensive linemen in the trenches in the Peach State is [player_tooltip player_id='1333733' first='Joshua' last='Sam Epelle']. He has great size and can move at his size. His game is something that translates perfectly to the next level and you can expect him to have a major season this fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

Georgia is a state were having great offensive, and defensive linemen are a must because it is such a physical and fast game and it's important to win in the trenches first. Let's check out some of these offensive linemen who I expect to have major seasons this fall.
