Kendon Bauer Kendon Bauer 6'6" | 315 lbs | OL Linganore | 2027 State MD capped off his season with All-State honors and a 3A/4A State Championship, solidifying his status as one of the top linemen in the region. At 6’6”, 315 pounds, Bauer already possesses a college-ready frame that projects seamlessly to the next level.

On film, Bauer is a dominant force up front, consistently delivering pancake block after pancake block and overwhelming defenders with his power and physicality. His performance has drawn significant attention on the recruiting trail, as he currently holds six offers, highlighted by national champion Indiana, Maryland, and a recent offer from Virginia Tech earlier this month.

With elite size, proven production in big moments, and high-level interest from Power Five programs, Bauer is firmly positioned as a high-ceiling offensive line prospect to watch moving forward.

No one had a stronger rise in these recent rankings then Kendon. Moving up almost 50 spots and now a top 20 prospect and the #3 overall OL.

I was able to get eyes on Kendon multiple times this spring, including his stand out performance at the National Preps Spring Showcase. He measured in a verified 6’6″ 283lbs performed well in the combine drills and dominating in the 1v1s. An OL prospect that is both physical and athletic. Kendon has great pop and power off the snap, gets his hands into the defenders chest and drives them out the play. He has that nasty in him as an OL to finish through the whistle. Kendon also has the footwork and ability to get out and run in space.

Currently holding five total offers after just recently picking up Liberty this week. Kendon also secured offers from UMD, Indiana, Towson and BC the week following his performance at the National Preps Showcase. With plenty of room to get stronger and continue his development, Kedon has a ton of upside still and should be a name on many colleges boards this fall.

A player I have been high on since seeing back in early fall, Kendon proved that as he had a very strong day and was the top overall performing underclassmen on the day. Measuring in at 6’6 1/4″ and 283lbs, he has elite size for is position. With an excellent frame that is filling out and getting strong by the day. A nice overall athlete, Kendon plays basketball and wrestles. He has impressive movement, runs on his toes, active feet, and shows nice lateral mobility & flexibility. Kendon has good pop off the snap, powerful hands, and is smooth in his steps/footwork. In game he plays with some nasty and power as well, driving guys out of frame and good overall physicality.

His recruitment is taking off now, as Kendon picked up his first offer from Towson at the Showcase. Then proceeded to pick up offers from Boston College, Indiana, and Maryland in the week following the camp as results/film were sent out. That all tracks with what I said in my 2027 Rankings article back in March about him…”Kendon is a player that I can see developing into a Power 4 kid. Would not surprise me to see him picking up strong interest from colleges this spring and summer.” He is proving he can be one of the top OL in his class and should see a rise in my next rankings as well as many more offers in his future.

A player I am very high on after seeing him back in early fall. Kendon comes in as a top 100 overall player and the #9 overall OL and he all the potential to be a top 5 OL in his class.

Big kid with a good lean frame to fill out with good bulk and solid arm length. Kendon is a physical player tough player who has nice bend and leverage. He is quick off the snap and into defenders chest, drives his leg & finishes blocks. He also plays with some good aggression and nastiness to him which you always want to see from your OL. A nice athlete for his position with good feet who can move and get out in space. You can see where he gets his overall skill set as he is a multi-sport kid playing basketball & a heavyweight wrestler.

Kendon is a player that I can see developing into a Power 4 kid. Would not surprise me to see him picking up strong interest from colleges this spring and summer…offers are in his future!
