As I’m sure a lot of you know, PRZMN is always on the lookout for the Next Great Minnesota Lineman. A lot of the time that search coincides with the hunt for giant OL and DL, particularly OTs, and last year we saw the likes of Phillip Pisarchuk Phillip Pisarchuk 6'7" | 290 lbs | OL Mound Westonka | 2026 State MN (Iowa Western commit) and Zak Koep Zak Koep 6'8" | 290 lbs | OL Parkers Prairie | 2026 State MN (MSU-Moorhead commit) make big debuts on the 2026 Big Board, and this year’s iteration looks even more promising in St. Michael-Albertville mammoth OT Tanner Carel Tanner Carel 6'7" | 300 lbs | OL St. Michael-Albertville | 2027 State MN . Coming in at a massive 6’7, 300 lbs., Carel also plays volleyball for STMA, a fun little multi-sport combination for an offensive tackle, and that volleyball background definitely flashes in his mobility and athleticism, especially laterally and in his pass set.

Speaking of his pass set, the RT is smooth and balanced and is easily able to gain depth and handle both speed and power from opposing defensive ends and linebackers in pass pro. I love how he can smoothly combo, climb, and work laterally around the LOS, especially for his size, and the COD ability is really impressive for a developing offensive tackle in the MN 6A ranks. He does play a little high, but Carel is comfortable and effective at finding work and eliminating threats in space for a larger OT prospect. The STMA product does a good job of staying engaged with a defender once he gets those massive mitts on a DL or LB and can easily wash DEs out of the play thanks to his size and mobility. PRZ is overall really impressed by his effectiveness, experience, and overall comfortability in pass protection for his age and size. There isn’t a chance you should miss seeing this dude live and in the flesh if you’re recruiting 2027 MN OL!
