We’re re-ranking the 2024 offensive line recruits in Texas high school football. This will be a list of some of the most exciting players to keep an eye on this season, including many who are nationally considered and others who could make a splash this year. We’ve put up some of the biggest guys in the trenches that are currently at the top of our list.
Some of the key things we’re looking at when re-ranking these recruits are their size, strength, level of competition, and potential to develop. We’ll also be considering how they’ve performed so far in their career and what kind of upside they have.
Here are some of the 2024 offensive linemen:
#15.Ralee Jackson (24) | 6-2 / 250 IOL | Plano East
Ralee is a lineman recruit to keep an eye on. He has some physicality in his blocks, but the technique needs improvement and he is small for an interior OL. If he adds more muscle and height to his frame and cleans up his technique a bit, he may become a prospect who rises up the charts.
#14.Andrew Cunningham (24) | 6-3 / 265 IOL | Southlake Carroll
Andrew has an athletic, muscular build with a long wingspan that appears light on his feet and is mobile enough with the strength to flatten defenders while pulling around the edge or up the middle; this guy can make some holes that buses could fit through;is very strong-handed, delivering some devastating punches both in the running game and passing game.
#13.Jude Edwards (24) | 6-3 / 280 IOL | Clear Falls
Jude may be one of the nastiest defenders on this list, with a mean streak that he can put defensive players out of commission on every possession. Uses his frame and base effectively to drive defenders off the ball or into the ground. FBS-level athlete with a high potential for achievement.
#12.Adrian Oratokhai (24) | 6-3 / 260 OT | Lake Travis
Adrian has the size, physical abilities, and potential of an elite interior offensive lineman. One who can move well and quickly out of the grasp. He exhibits the ability to be really hard at the point of contact and can bury defenders in the dirt. We believe that he may progress into a highly regarded recruit like this one.
#11.Cash Cleveland (24) | 6-3 / 300 | IOL | Rockwall-Heath
Cash is a center that can move the pile. Maintains a low base and can drive defenders off the LOS. Has 1 offer from Georgia Tech, that number should raise significantly by this time next year.
#10.Jaden Rowe (24) | 6-3 / 280 IOL | South Oak Cliff
Jaden Rowe is a raw and skilled offensive lineman. I prefer him inside at either guard or center, where he has long arms and a forceful drive-off on the snap of the ball. FBS colleges recruiting strong interior linemen
#9.Holton Hendrix (24) | 6-4 / 250 OT | Lubbock-Cooper
Holton is an extremely aggressive run blocker who doesn’t quit pushing until the end of the play or till he is standing over his opponent. Looks quick and light enough on his feet to block effectively at the second level and, if needed, pull around to kick out the edge. FBS prospect who will surely be high on many recruiting lists soon.
#8.Jordan Rowe (24) | 6-3 / 265 IOL | South Oak Cliff
For South Oak Cliff, the Rowe brothers are all-stars. Jordan is as tall as a bus and has a sturdy foundation, so he excels in pass protection and runs blocking. Punch and technique can still be improved, however, he’s an FBS-level prospect without a doubt.
#7.Ray’Quan Bell (24) | 6-5 / 290 OT | Westfield
Ray’Quan is a highly regarded offensive tackle who has received interest from Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn and many other schools. Ray’Quan is an amazing blindside blocker with elite pass protection abilities who holds five DI offers already. He’s a true left tackle that can develop into one of the best at his position in the country.
#6.Koltin Sieracki (24) | 6’4, 295 IOL | The Woodlands
You’ll have to pay for a car ride for this guy because he can drive defenders down the field. One of the most physical offensive linemen I’ve ever seen, one who looks athletic enough to block out in space at the next level and smash defenders. Koltin will be an even more formidable interior OL next season if he adds some extra lean muscle to his well-proportioned frame. He’s a top recruit in the state and will be one of the best at his position for years to come.
#5. Nate Kibble (24) | 6’3, 324 | OL | Atascocita
Nate recruiting is heating up this year and he holds scholarships from Houston, Memphis, Texas, and Texas A&M. Nate has faced great opposition; he is nimble for his size, can pull around and punch out the edge or block defenders at the next level, and be an excellent run blocker. Has a great motor and plays with good pad level; can play all three positions on the offensive line but projects best at the center or right guard where he can use his strength to drive-block defenders out of their gaps.
#4.Willie Goodacre (24) | 6-6 / 280 IOL | Guyer
You could put your best against Goodacre and he’ll be able to shut them down; I’ve seen him in person several times and was always impressed by his size, height, technique, and physicality. Goodacre has long arms that are quite thick, an athletic build, and is great at defending the run or pass.
#3.Makai Saina (24) | 6-4 / 275 OT | Martin
Makai is a big offensive lineman with excellent strength and size at the line of scrimmage, as well as great motor, footwork in pass protection, and a fantastic desire to hit people. He will become an offer from Martin that may end up on many recruiting boards and be a highly regarded prospect. His size, physical play, and talents will only improve.
#2.Gibson Pyle (24) | 6’4, 270 | OT | Klein Cain
Gibson is a powerful run blocker with a mean streak that allows him to bulldoze over defenders in the run game. He has great height and size, and once he engages with a defender they are going down; as a blocking punisher, he never stops driving in until the whistle blows or the opponent is on the ground. An exceptional athlete who can move well for his size and can pull or get out in front of plays to make a block at the second level; will only continue to get better.FBS prospect who could be a high-level recruit that can play anywhere in the country by the end of his senior season.
#1.Ashton Funk (24) | 6’6 290 | OT | Tompkins
Ashton is an elite blocker in his class. He already has next-level size and abilities, for being so young. He’s strong-handed and quick, can fly down the field to flatten defenders, and can rack up many pancakes a game. Ashton appears to have a bright future at the next level and may develop into a Sunday player with proper development. We are looking forward to seeing Ashton’s progression as he continues to grow and develop his skills.
