Mason Mennell Mason Mennell 6'3" | 290 lbs | OL Stow-Munroe Falls | 2022 OH 6’3” 300 Stow Munroe-Falls
This stout 300 pounder mauls opposing defensive linemen by clamping on to them and driving them off the line of scrimmage. Mennell does an exceptional job also in pass protection by keeping inside position on the pass rusher then running them deep past the quarterback.
Jonathan Harder Jonathan Harder 6'6" | 285 lbs | OL Olentangy Berlin | 2022 OH 6’6” 285 Olentangy Berlin
Harder displays excellent pass protection skills due to his long wingspan, quick feet, and hand placement. He is also a very effective run blocker by the way he pulls and turns upfield locking on to defenders.
Kyle Imboden Kyle Imboden 6'4" | 300 lbs | OL Pickerington Central | 2022 OH 6’4” 300 Pickerington Central
Imboden is a thick offensive guard who gets great movement at the point of attack and is athletic enough to pick up level two linebackers. He destroys nose guards on the down block by using his weight to his advantage clearing a path for his running backs.
Avery Henry 6’6” 330 St. Clairsville
This massive lineman plays on both sides of the ball. Henry is powerful in the core and, along with his upper body strength, dominates defensive linemen who dare to line up across from him. Henry is also mobile in space for a man who is 330 pounds.
Jalen Slappy Jalen Slappy 6'5" | 280 lbs | OL Columbus Eastmoor | 2022 State OH 6’5” 280 Columbus Eastmoor
Slappy is an agile offensive lineman whose motor never quits making him a great finisher. His foot quickness is impressive which is displayed in his pass protection skills. Slappy maintains leverage and body position on opposing pass rushers to keep his quarterback clean.
Connor Kemmerling 6’7” 320 Olentangy Orange
Kemmerling uses his long arms in controlling and moving defensive opponents. He is a good knee bender and plays with exceptional leverage for his height. Kemmerling is a raw talent that can develop into an outstanding collegiate offensive lineman.
