Jackson Cantwell, jr., Nixa (Missouri) 

The No. 1 Class of 2026 offensive lineman in the 247Sports composite rankings, Cantwell notched 91 pancake blocks as a sophomore while allowing zero sacks. He is also a track standout who received Missouri Gatorade Player of the Year honors last season after claiming state titles in the shot put and discus.

Jourdin Crawford, sr., A.H. Parker (Alabama)

Elijah Griffin, sr., Savannah Christian (Georgia)

Griffin tallied 97 total tackles (31 for loss) and 17.5 sacks as a junior en route to Georgia Class 3A lineman of the year honors. His dominant interior play helped lead Savannah Christian to the state finals. A five-star prospect, Griffin’s numerous offers include Georgia, Miami and USC. 

Ty Haywood, sr., Ryan (Texas)

A five-star Alabama commit, Haywood is a prototypical offensive tackle prospect at 6-foot-6 and 295 pounds. He is an athletic lineman who also competes in track for Ryan.

Iheanacho, another five-star prospect, is a massive offensive tackle at 6-foot-7 and 340 pounds. He was a dominant interior force as a sophomore for a Georgetown Prep team that finished 8-2 overall. 

Josh Petty, sr., Fellowship Christian (Georgia)

Champ Taulealea, sr., Valley Christian (California)

Taulealea is an overwhelming force in the run game at 6-foot-4 and 330 pounds. The Washington commit could also see some time on the defensive line as a senior. 

Solomon Thomas, sr., Raines (Florida)
