A similar story as our previously mentioned big man is Buckhannon-Upshur’s Daren Daugherty Daren Daugherty 6'3" | 330 lbs | OL Philip Barbour | 2025 WV who ranks in the Top 15 of offensive linemen and a Top 100 player in the 2025 class. The 6’3 330 guard is a mountain of an athlete who performs very well in the Buccaneers’ run-heavy offense. While his athleticism and feet won’t blow you away, Daugherty makes up for it with physical strength and power and spends ample time in the weight room. He’s a true road grader and bulldozer at right guard. The only way you’re getting past him is if you can beat him with quickness which is tough to do with how wide he is. Athleticism makes his ceiling a little lower than some other offensive linemen in the class, but Daugherty is a prospect that D2 schools should be all over.

Another 2025 offensive lineman who impresses each week is Buckhannon-Upshur junior Daren Daugherty Daren Daugherty 6'3" | 330 lbs | OL Philip Barbour | 2025 WV . Daugherty is a massive 6’3 330 and is as strong as an ox. The one part of his game that he needs to continue to develop is his footwork and agility but Daugherty does great in BU’s run-heavy offense. You aren’t going to push Daugherty backward as he’s very stout and tough to move. He can get a little high at times and needs to continue working on his leverage but Daugherty is still just a junior and there is a lot to work with there. If he gets his paws on a defender they aren’t likely to escape and Daugherty does a great job controlling them.

Buckhannon-Upshur has a very promising 2025 offensive lineman in 6’3 330 Daren Daugherty Daren Daugherty 6'3" | 330 lbs | OL Philip Barbour | 2025 WV . Daugherty has been a starter for the Buccaneers since his freshman year and will be a 4-year letterman by the time he graduates. Daugherty lives in the weight room and has videos on his Twitter putting up impressive weight since he was in middle school. He and Kelley are a force on the right side of the Buccaneers’ line and they often run behind those two studs. Daugherty also sees time on the defensive line but I like him as an offensive guard at the next level. He should be one of the top 15 offensive linemen in the 2025 class by the time he graduates.
