Continue ReadingWith spring practice fast approaching, expect to see lots of offensive linemen start to emerge across the state and earn interest from some major D1 school. The 2023 class is starting to look pretty deep across the offensive line, and there are quite a few from small-towns that college programs need to know about.
Here are a few small-town offensive linemen in the 2023 class who could see their stock rise on the recruiting trail over the next few months…
Devin McRae – Telfair County
In small-town McRae is where you’ll find one of the hard-working linemen in South Georgia. The big 6-foot-3 265-pounder isn’t a giant, but he’s big and strong enough to bully and dominate his opponent on a consistent basis. He shows impressive athleticism for his size and will be asked to play on both sides of the line this fall. He’s quick, plays with a strong base, and has his best football ahead of him. He’s earned some offers recently from Arkansas, Middle Tennessee State, and Georgia State, with more D1 offers likely to come his way. The staff at Telfair County expects him to make a big jump physically this season as he’s really improved his strength and athleticism. They told Prep Redzone that his biggest strength is his willingness to do what needs to be done to be successful. He is not afraid to push himself and he should have a major impact for the team as a junior this fall.
Connor Lew Connor Lew 6'4" | 260 lbs | OL Kennesaw Mountain | 2023 State GA – Kennesaw Mountain
Up in northern Cobb County is where you’ll find a prospect who could see more D1 offers come his way sooner than later. The 6-foot-4 280-pounder already holds offers Miami (OH) and Virginia Tech, but those won’t be the only two that pull the trigger. Lew is a good-looking tackle prospect with a great frame and impressive athleticism. He played balanced, knows how to bend, and has the length to handle speedy defenders off the edge. He has the frame that will allow him to continue adding solid weight and muscle over the next two years. He’s already one of the top tackle prospects in the area and his best football is still ahead of him. If he continues to develop on the field and add more weight off of it, he could be in store for a breakout junior season this fall.
