1. Foster Sarell -6-7 327 Graham Kaposwin (2017)

The states top overall prospect regardless of position. Is rated a 5 star recruit by scout.com, the #7 overall player in the country, #2 ranked offensive tackle in the country and is the #1 rated offensive linemen on the west coast. Foster has the look of an NFL offensive linemen he plays the game with tenacity you love to see in offensive linemen. Also a stand out basketball player Foster is extremely athletic and plays with a high motor. Started every game as a 14 year old freshman making him a seasoned player for his age. Could easily walk into a college program and make an immediate impact as a true freshman. As a junior was sidelined for the majority of the season with a broken arm but showed no signs of rust as he dominated opposing teams when he returned. Foster last spring made a big name for himself at Ford Sports Performances May Madness competing amongst the top 2015 committed Offensive linemen (Henry Roberts (Washington), Calvin Throckman (Oregon), Shane Leamuix (Oregon) ). Foster was hands down the best offensive linemen on the field that day which at the time only being a sophomore was a huge statement of just how special of a talent he is. Foster can easily go down as one of the states all time best offensive linemen.

2. Henry Bainivalu 6-6 305- Skyline (2017)

A national 4 star recruit, ranked the #4 offensive guard in the country and #3 on the west coast. Physical at the point of attack, long arms, and can get to the second level in a hurry. Is a two way starter and rarely comes off the field for his Skyline Spartans. Competitive player that plays with a mean streak. He is big and strong, good in the run game needs a little work on staying on blocks and realizing how dominant he can be. In the pass game more of the same but when he has his hands on a guy the defender is done, but needs to work on the technique of a kick slide and finishing in the pass pro. Great frame at a slende (6-6 305) and carries his weight extremely well. Very athletic linemen and has exceptional lateral quickness and will be a huge pickup for the school that lands him.

3.Quazzel White 6-4 285 Lincoln HS (2017)

In a class filled with national offensive line recruits Quazzel is arguably the most underrated. Plays the game nasty and has a great motor, natural athleticism, gets to the second level and pancakes defenders. Currently plays offensive tackle for his Lincoln Football team but projects best as an offensive guard at the next level. Needs to Improve on his overall strength and technique in the pass game. Big physical specimen that should start gaining a lot of attention nationally after his film gets in the hands of the right programs.

4. Dontae Powell 6-6 300- Richland (2017)

Big athletic offensive line prospect that moves very fluidly. Has the length and the frame to be offensive tackle at the next level. Could very well be a defensive linemen. Ranked as a 4 star prospect by scout.com at offensive tackle, shows a lot more flash on tape as a defensive linemen. Needs to work on his technique in pass protection, gets away with it in high school because he is just bigger and more athletic than defenders. Is more effective in the run game because of his aggressive style of play. Dontae is definitely an athlete that colleges will need to take a deeper look into, he has all the intangibles you are looking for in a power 5 conference offensive linemen. He is extremely raw, but has tremendous upside.

5.Cody Kanouse - 6-7 290 Peninsula (2017)

Has the prototypical size you are looking for in a FBS offensive tackle. Does a great job kick sliding his feet in pass protection. He is a stronger run blocker than pass blocker, finishes blocks well and is very physical in the run game. He is athletic for his size. He needs to grow into his body (strength and athletic wise) is still young and needs to work on fundamentals and playing with better pad level. Lacks the nastiness you would like to see in the run game, could be a lot more aggressive at the point of attack. Has the frame and athleticism to grow into a good player at the next level.
