You can check out the complete rankings <a href="https://prepredzone.com/oklahoma/rankings/2023-rankings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>RIGHT HERE</strong></a>. Right now, we're taking a look and putting a spotlight on five offensive linemen who find themselves in the rankings. The 2023 group of OL is shaping up as one of the strongest positions in the class as we have 10 currently ranked in our top 50 and 6 within the top 25. We've been putting out content over the last few days on this 2023 class. For more than just positional breakdowns, you can check out these breakdowns on <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2021/01/2023-newcomers-jan-update/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Newcomers</strong></a> and <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2021/01/2023-stock-risers-jan-update/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Stock Risers</strong></a>. Stay dialed into Prep Redzone Oklahoma as we update our rankings for the rest of the state over the next few weeks! [player_tooltip player_id="98181" first="Bennett" last="Ringleb"] <strong>- Union (#49 Overall)</strong> First on our list is a guy who just snuck into our top 50, [player_tooltip player_id="98181" first="Bennett" last="Ringleb"]. In terms of pure eye test when watching Union this year it was hard to give Bennett the credit he deserved at times because he had teammate [player_tooltip player_id="38675" first="Will" last="Thomas"] overshadowing him for most of the year and rightly so as Thomas has been one of the best linemen in the state over the last two seasons. However, that should not take away from what Bennet put on film in 2020. He is not as polished as the guys ranked above him right now but the flashes of agility and athleticism mixed with his power is enough for us to believe he has the potential to reach similar heights as some of his past OL teammates in the next few seasons. [player_tooltip player_id="38806" first="Milton" last="White"] <strong>- Jenks (#23 Overall)</strong> Another player who was overshadowed at times by another big-time recruit on his own OL is [player_tooltip player_id="38806" first="Milton" last="White"]. White does not have the size of teammate and OSU commit [player_tooltip player_id="38493" first="Logan" last="Nobles"], but he has plenty of power to manhandle just about anyone in the state. Milton was a mauler in the run game in 2020 and was very versatile as Jenks rotated him all across the interior. Not many Sophomores start for Jenks along the OL most years, so we fully expect White to take the next step as a prospect with the chance to enter the elite tier that the top guys in this class are at or approaching. [player_tooltip player_id="54350" first="Brandt" last="Haag"] <strong>- Bishop McGuinness (#11 Overall)</strong> It is not often that we have a guy in the top 15 that only played 2 games but that is the case with [player_tooltip player_id="54350" first="Brandt" last="Haag"]. In the 2 games he played in this season Haag showed more than a lot of OL do in a whole season. Haag has excellent size for his age at 6'6" 305 and was one of the most technically sound OL I saw all year, especially in pass protection. I can't wait to see what this kid can put on tape with a full season of work in 2021. [player_tooltip player_id="50786" first="JaKobe" last="Sanders"] <strong>- Stillwater (#7 Overall)</strong> Other than our next guy on the list, Jakobe is the best OL in the class of 2023 and is easily the top interior prospect. Sanders played both guard and center in 2020 for the Pioneers and was one of the most explosive off the line in the state which is incredible when he has guys like Garrett Hummann on his own team. Everything he did in 2020 was powerful and speedy including his hands and power at the second level where he often found himself taking out multiple guys in one play. Jakobe certainly did not look like a Sophomore in 2020 so I can't imagine how he'll look in 2021 with a whole offseason to become stronger and more technically sound. [player_tooltip player_id="38779" first="Jonathan" last="Ashford"] <strong>- Edmond Santa Fe (#2 Overall)</strong> Our last OL on this list is one who has been at or near the top of all our 2023 rankings and has a chance to enter the truly elite tier that few OL in Oklahoma get to. Santa Fe had over 3000 yards rushing as a team in 2020 that included a 1700 yard rusher and an 800-yard rusher, and a lot of credit for that should go to Ashford. There were so many plays in 2020 where Hyche or Snoddy would reach the second level with Ashford as their personal escort taking out whoever was in their path. With a little bit more speed and some refining in pass protection, Ashford could be the next elite OL to come out of the state after guys like [player_tooltip player_id="38666" first="Jacob" last="Sexton"] and [player_tooltip player_id="38493" first="Logan" last="Nobles"].
