is one of the better players in the country, and many could argue that he is the best player in the country when it comes to his size. He is by far one of the better players in the state, to say the least, as he is bound to make some noise in 2026. The Douglas County offensive tackle could go anywhere in the country and be a contributing factor in the first season of his career. The home state schools will come knocking, but so will the out-of-state schools, which is worth noting. Make sure to keep an eye on the standout offensive tackle.

Read EvaluationCaleb Sisk | Prep Redzone Scout
You aren’t a 6’8 – 6’9 athlete and not considered an elite frame. The talented prospect has all the traits you could want, and despite his length, he is one of the more fluid individuals I have watched when it comes to footwork. He will have a ton of attention while he is in college, and if he turns into what many believe he will be, then the world will see exactly how good he is. The talented offensive tackle has NFL written all over him.

stood out on the line for the Tigers in 2025 with his size (around 6-9) and versatility. Though detailed high-school stats aren’t broadly published like skill players, his length and ability helped fuel team playoff success, and recruiting services list him as a consensus four-star offensive tackle in the 2027 class, holding multiple offers from Power Five schools including Georgia and tallying 30+ offers reported.

One of the top offensive tackle prospects in the Atlanta area and one of the best across Georgia in the 2027 class, this Douglas County lineman brings a lean frame, natural strength, and versatility as he impressed at both left and right tackle last fall. Playing for one of the top programs in the classification, Epelle was outstanding as a sophomore and should be even better as a junior in 2024. He’s ranked as the No. 14 overall prospect in the state and earned a big new offer recently from the Ole Miss Rebels.
