Rising Stock Offensive Linemen (Part 2)
Bill Conley
In this article:
These are six more offensive linemen in the class of 2022 whose stock is rising. As a group, they average over 300 pounds but are still exceptionally athletic for their size. They are also physical blockers who are dominant in the trenches.
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="34409" first="Mason" last="Mennell"] 6’3” 300 Stow Munroe-Falls</strong>
This stout 300 pounder mauls opposing defensive linemen by clamping on to them and driving them off the line of scrimmage. Mennell does an exceptional job also in pass protection by keeping inside position on the pass rusher then running them deep past the quarterback.
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="116389" first="Jonathan" last="Harder"] 6’6” 285 Olentangy Berlin</strong>
Harder displays excellent pass protection skills due to his long wingspan, quick feet, and hand placement. He is also a very effective run blocker by the way he pulls and turns upfield locking on to defenders.
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="34456" first="Kyle" last="Imboden"] 6’4” 300 Pickerington Central</strong>
Imboden is a thick offensive guard who gets great movement at the point of attack and is athletic enough to pick up level two linebackers. He destroys nose guards on the down block by using his weight to his advantage clearing a path for his running backs.
<strong>Avery Henry 6’6” 330 St. Clairsville</strong>
This massive lineman plays on both sides of the ball. Henry is powerful in the core and, along with his upper body strength, dominates defensive linemen who dare to line up across from him. Henry is also mobile in space for a man who is 330 pounds.
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="91521" first="Jalen" last="Slappy"] 6’5” 280 Columbus Eastmoor</strong>
Slappy is an agile offensive lineman whose motor never quits making him a great finisher. His foot quickness is impressive which is displayed in his pass protection skills. Slappy maintains leverage and body position on opposing pass rushers to keep his quarterback clean.
<strong>Connor Kemmerling 6’7” 320 Olentangy Orange</strong>
Kemmerling uses his long arms in controlling and moving defensive opponents. He is a good knee bender and plays with exceptional leverage for his height. Kemmerling is a raw talent that can develop into an outstanding collegiate offensive lineman.
