Immanuel dropped down one spot to #2 in these recent rankings but honestly it’s a 1A/1B as both him and Zion are both Top 5 National Recruits and lead an extremely strong 2026 MD class.

I have watched Manny multiple times over the years and written about him plenty. He is easily the top OT in the MD/DC/DE area and may very well be the top offensive lineman in his class. He has great size a 6’7″ and a thick strong built ~350lbs with an elite 80″ wingspan. Immanuel already looks the part of a potential NFL OT. Crazy athletic for his size with a basketball background, Manny moves his feet well and can get up to the second level and run out in space. He possesses heavy hands and a powerful punch that sends defenders out the way. A natural bender, he can sink his hips and generate plenty of power and leverage. Manny is a mauler in the run game and finishes blocks through the whistle . What he is capable of doing to opposing defenders is the definition of throwing them out club. A great combination of power and athleticism for the position.

Manny still has the potential to improve his game and continue to take big strides as 2023 was his first year playing football. He is coachable, works hard and has a huge ceiling to his game. I look forward to seeing him continue to make his case for the #1 overall ranking spot over the next year.

Immanuel was a prospect I first saw back last last summer and he looked every bit the part of a National Prospect after seeing just a few plays from him. Donnie Zimmerman of National Preps went and got official verified measurements of Immanuel all the way back in August before he had any offers. Manny is all of 6’7″ with 10″ Hands, and an 88″ wingspan which equals out to NFL level size and length. He is incredibly athletic player, he can bend, sink, and move his feet extremely well. You also have to remember this past fall was Immanuel’s first year playing football as he was a basketball player at the SEED School before transferring to Georgetown Prep.

As an OT he has good pop off the snap and is able to stay low for a player with his height. Gets into the defenders chest and drives them out of the play as he displays great overall strength in both his top half and lower body. Manny plays with heavy heads and a powerful punch putting DL in the dirt. He has the aggressive, physical mentality you love to see out of OL prospects. Immanuel can easily get to the second level in combo blocking as he is light on his feet and takes good angles. Effective in multiple blocking schemes, able to down block, reach, pull, kick step in pass blocking…he does it all. Always keep a strong base, hands inside with nice hip roll and able to use his length well to keep DL away from his body.

Immanuel is also a high character kid and a player anyone would like to coach. He is a tough hard worker and extremely coachable, and has the desire to get better and improve. Immanuel is now a 20+ offer prospect and no doubt 5 star stud with plenty of room to still improve as he continues to learn the game. I see no way he loses this top spot in the 2026 class rankings for MD and could see him being the #1 National Recruit for his class.
