This article is going to lean OL/DL heavy because the two positions are so deep. Because of the depth we will naturally see some kids slip under the radar at times. One of the members of the OL that shouldn’t be slept on is Kimberly’s Yusif Fofanah Yusif Fofanah 6'4" | 315 lbs | OL/DL Kimberly | 2026 State WI . The 6’4″ 315 lbs athlete is built for the power run game. He is at his best when he can get hands on quickly and crush his opponent. Yusif’s lower body is unbelievably strong. This offseason he set the squat record at Kimberly with a 600 lbs effort. Knowing he is going to come back even stronger than what his 2024 tape demonstrated is a scary thought for opposing DL. Yusif will have no problem opening up holes or resetting the line of scrimmage. The spotlight might be starting to shine on him too. He just received his first D1 scholarship from Northern Iowa. We should see the list grow.

If you are a coaching staff looking for a steal in the trenches then you need to have Yusif Fofanah Yusif Fofanah 6'4" | 315 lbs | OL/DL Kimberly | 2026 State WI near the top of your list of athletes. The 6’5″ 315 lbs IOL is devastatingly powerful. Early this year the 2026 set the Kimberly school record with a 600 lbs squat. At the Minnesconsin camp I got an up close look at what that type of power can do to an opposing DL. Every single moment that Yusif makes is backed with the power to flatten an opponent. Whether it is just his first punch or he is partaking in run game battles, when Yusif got those big hands on his opponent and was able to drive his hips through his man there was nobody stopping him from taking them wherever he wanted to. I’m a big fan of the Kimberly guard and a lot of next level staffs should be as well.

Fofanah made a clear impact in pass-protection showdowns. A Class of 2026 lineman at Kimberly High School (WI), Fofanah’s ability to reset, anchor, and redirect rushers stood out against quality opponents. Beyond physical gifts, his consistent effort and developmental focus were evident throughout the day. He. is a first-to-drills type of competior. With continued work on pad level, body control, and strike timing, Fofanah should have options to play at the next level.

If you are a team looking for someone to be a tone setter in the trenches. Someone that is going to physically dominate interior DLs with surprising quickness and mauling power then Yusif is a kid you need on your boards. The junior already brings an outstanding frame to the field that is filled out to an impressive 315 lbs. The size doesn’t hinder him on tape either. Yusif explodes off the line in the run game, quickly closing the gap on DL or LBs and landing punches that create a positive surge for the offense. The big fella is really good at running his feet through his blocks too. The ’26 is big, explosive, and an unfair match when it comes to power. Tap into his tape ASAP.

I talked about it in the introduction, but we have to say it again. The mass and power added to these rankings is off the charts. Yusif is another stud OL who made a name for himself this year. The 6’4″ 315 lbs LG is looking like a special talent that needs a lot more eyes on him. He carries his massive frame with ease, skip pulling across the formation, getting up to LBs, or reaching a DT in the run game. Between his heavy hands and strong base, Yusif is able to create devastating power on contact that instantly gets his opponent off balance or on the ground. Fofanah also shows off a very strong anchor in pass protection. I expect Yusif to continue to rise our boards and the boards of a lot of programs this summer as he dominates at camps.
