Last year, we got a good look at NOAH offensive lineman

and he simply did not look like a guy that was just finishing up his freshman year in high school. Ballinger’s older brother has been one of the better offensive linemen in the state and now it’s Jude’s turn to take that title. He really impressed us last season with his advanced skillset and he has a good frame to dominate on the line of scrimmage. The only thing left to figure out is what is the best position for him on the offensive line. Whether it’s as a tackle or on the interior of the line of scrimmage. Another part of Ballinger’s game that shouldn’t be overlooked is what he can do on the defensive side of the ball.

is certainly one of the top prospects at his position right now. We’ve written about Ballinger a few times when we’ve had a ranking update and we usually echo the same theme. He was one of the more impressive OL prospects we saw in the last year. Ballinger already looks the part physically and has a good skill set to go along with it. Ballinger has certainly benefitted from being on the same team with some very talented defensive linemen over the last two years. Ballinger absolutely mauls you at the point of attack and we’re looking forward to seeing how many positions he ends up playing on offense.

We probably wrote about this back in the summer during our last ranking update but for the new readers out there, we’ll bring it up again. When we watched NOAH at a team camp in late May, sophomore offensive lineman

was one of the more impressive offensive lineman prospects that we saw during our tour of various team camps. He is so violent at the point of attack and he can absolutely command one side of the offensive line. We’re assuming that he will move from right tackle to left tackle next year when his brother, who starts there now, graduates. As far as offensive tackle prospects go, Ballinger is one of the best prospects in this 2026 class.

NOAH captured a homeschool national championship last season and they should probably be considered one of the favorites coming into 2023. They bring back a ton of talent on both sides of the ball and they have two Ballingers on each side of the offensive line. Fellow offensive lineman prospect

is another lineman for NOAH that should start getting on college radars rather early on in his high school career. While Ezra lines up at left tackle, Jude lined up at right tackle when we watched the Jaguars at one of the team camps that they attended this spring. Jude is a dominating run blocker with plenty of size and just like a few other prospects on this breakdown, Ballinger is just scratching the surface on what he can be as an offensive lineman.

. Older brother Ezra is one of the better offensive linemen in the state’s 2024 class and there’s no doubt that NOAH has some great football being played right now. On the field, they were the best homeschool team in the country and in Oklahoma, they are producing some really strong prospects. When we broke down the film, Ballinger was impressive from the standpoint that he played multiple positions along the offensive line. And we don’t have a personal favorite because it seemed like Ballinger excelled at every spot that he lined up at. Ballinger has really good size and one of the more surprising parts of his game was how quick he was considering the size, making him a very intriguing prospect.
