Top interior offensive lineman signees in the 2025 class

All but one of the top 50 interior offensive linemen in the 2025 cycle — per the On3 Industry Ranking — have signed with a college program.

The 31 blue-chip signees at the position dispersed among 19 schools. Alabama, LSU, Georgia Tech, Oregon, Miami, Missouri, Georgia, Wisconsin and Texas A&M each signed multiple four or five-star IOLs.

Below are where the top 10 interior offensive linemen prospects in the 2025 cycle signed earlier this month:

1. Michael Carroll — Alabama

School: Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 14 NATL.

Scouting Summary: “Large-framed offensive line prospect with dynamic run blocking ability and a physical edge to his game. Measured in at 6-foot-6, 315 pounds with 33-inch arms and massive 11-inch hands prior to his senior season. Emerged as the top interior offensive line prospect in the cycle as a junior and cemented that status as a senior. Has added good size and has a well-proportioned build. Lines up as an offensive guard and defensive lineman for his original high school, prior to transferring to IMG Academy as a senior. A high level functional mover. Highly dangerous as a puller when working to the second level. Blows up linebackers on contact. Uses his large hands and grip strength to manipulate defenders at the point of attack. Plays with a level of nastiness and seeks out contact. Works to finish blocks. Has a strong base, allowing for the ability to anchor in pass pro.

…Flashes his athleticism and plays with a high effort level on defense, tracking plays down from the back side. Shows his competitive nature in the camp setting and does not back down from matchups with top prospects. Plays in a run heavy offense and will need to continue developing as a pass blocker, but has the traits to improve there with more work. Has athletic pedigree with both parents – father played football at Penn State and mother played basketball at Michigan State – being former Division 1 athletes. Likely projects along the interior long-term but has the potential to feasibly line up at multiple spots on the college level. Size, athleticism, and competitiveness point to a high ceiling at the position.”

2. Solomon Thomas — LSU

School: Jacksonville Raines
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 32 NATL.

Scouting Summary: “Big-bodied, physical offensive lineman with versatility and one of the higher floors in what is a loaded cycle at the position. Measured in at around 6-foot-3.5, 315 pounds prior to his senior season. Touts elite length with 35.75-inch arms. Has a barrel-chested build with solid weight distribution. Lines up at tackle for his high school but likely has the highest upside as a guard long-term. Very stout at the point of attack. Plays with a strong base and has pop in his hands on contact. Detonates defensive linemen and linebackers with his punch. Plays with a physical edge and works to finish blocks. Has good technical ability in pass protection. Held up well in a 1-on-1 matchup against 2024 five-star defensive lineman LJ McCray as a junior. A solid, not overwhelming athlete. Can continue to improve his lateral agility and reactive quickness. Has the skill level to potentially get on the field early in his college career given his strength and battle tested resume.”

3. Josh Petty — Georgia Tech

School: Roswell (Ga.) Fellowship Christian
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 42 NATL.

Scouting Summary: “Athletic, physical offensive lineman with positional versatility. Measured in at 6-foot-4, 255 pounds with 33-inch arms prior to his senior season. Two-way standout working at offensive tackle and defensive end for his high school. Shows high-end movement skills. Easily works to the second level. Light on his feet and moves with fluidity. Operates with a high level of conditioning playing on both sides of the ball. Good enough of an athlete to play on defense in college, though his upside is highest on the offensive line. Plays with a high effort level and physicality. Works to finish blocks with authority, driving defensive linemen to the sideline at times. Shows strong flexibility and core strength, coming off the ball low and firing through his hips. More advanced as a run blocker than pass protector at this time, but has the athletic ability to pass block at a high level with further development.

…A strong wrestler, finishing as a state champion and state runner-up in back-to-back years. Also threw the shot put with a personal best of 40-8.5 feet as a sophomore. Faces a lower classification of competition at the high school level. Will need to continue adding good mass to his frame and lost weight from his sophomore to junior year. Younger for the cycle, with an August birthday. Could feasibly be a 2026 prospect from an age perspective. Could ultimately project at tackle or slide inside, but may project best inside given his skill set and dimensions. Skill set could particularly project well as a potential center.“

4. Carius Curne — LSU

School: Marion (Ark.)
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 51 NATL.

Scouting Summary: “Freakish athlete along the offensive line. Measured in at 6-foot-4, 320 pounds with 33.5-inch arms and 9.5-inch hands prior to his senior season. Carries his weight well, looking like a much lighter player to the eye. Registers as an elite athlete in the combine setting, running a 4.8 second 40-yard dash and posting an eye-popping 4.3 second short shuttle at college camps prior to his junior season. Lines up as a two-way standout at his high school, playing left tackle and along the defensive line. Shows rare movement skills with twitch that immediately stands out. Moves at a different speed than most top offensive linemen. Excellent when working to the second level. Able to reach all the way to cornerbacks in blocking perimeter passes. Outstanding when asked to pull. Good at the point of attack. Keeps his feet moving once engaged and creates a big-time push.

…Projects as a high-end and potentially elite run blocker. Also flashes his elite athleticism as a defensive lineman. Would be a blue-chip prospect on that side of the ball, as well. Runs down plays from sideline to sideline. Older for the cycle, turning 19 years-old in December of his senior year. Will need to add polish as a pass protector, but has the lateral agility to develop well in that regard. Needs a runway to get a push at times, rather than simply generating pop off of the snap. Has the positional flexibility to potentially play all five spots on the offensive line. Possesses high-end potential in college football and beyond due to his phenomenal athleticism.”

5. Devin Harper — Ole Miss

School: Shreveport (La.) Calvary Baptist Academy
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 82 NATL.

Scout’s Take: “For starters, Devin Harper is extremely physical and playing at a high level as a senior. When you watch his film you see a violent, explosive run blocker. He has plus length, particularly for a guard. Arms over 34″ and a ton of pop in contact. Strong film as a second level blocker, strong in gap scheme and a weapon in the run game. When you look at what he brings to the table physically, his mentality and play standpoint, there’s a lot to like. One of the better prospects in this cycle. His move up was certainly merited. I would project him as a multi-year starter. The type of lineman you want in the trenches in the SEC.”

6. Douglas Utu — Oregon

School: Las Vegas Bishop Gorman
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 84 NATL.

Utu on his commitment: “From day one, Coach Lanning, Coach Terry, and the entire staff made me feel like a priority,” Utu told On3. “They were upfront, genuine, and showed real belief in my abilities. Their energy, transparency, and vision for how I fit into the program were clear, and they made me feel like I would truly be part of the Oregon family.”

“Coach Lanning is building an elite program at Oregon,” he said. “He’s creating a culture of toughness, discipline, and accountability, and you can feel that everyone is bought in. It’s exciting to be joining a program on the rise, and l know I’m stepping into a winning environment where excellence is expected every day.”

7. Jaylen Gilchrist — Maryland

School: Virginia Beach (Va.) Salem
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 102 NATL.

Gilchrist on his commitment: “Coach Lanning is building an elite program at Oregon,” Gilchrist told On3. “He’s creating a culture of toughness, discipline, and accountability, and you can feel that everyone is bought in. It’s exciting to be joining a program on the rise, and l know I’m stepping into a winning environment where excellence is expected every day.”

“Coach Braswell, I’ve done my due diligence on every O-line coach and who they’re developing, and he’s not just developing five-stars, he’s developing three-stars and sometimes even lower.”

8. SJ Alofaituli — Miami

School: Las Vegas Bishop Gorman
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 106 NATL.

Insider’s Take: “Alofiatuli became Miami’s third highest-rated offensive line signee of the Cristobal era Wednesday when the No. 105 overall prospect and No. 8 interior offensive lineman in the On3 Industry Ranking officially signed with Miami. Alofaituli can play guard or center but has been one of the country’s top centers his last two years of high school. He missed time earlier this fall after suffering a facial fracture but has remained a consensus four-star prospect.” — CaneSport’s Stephen Wagner.

9. Jack Lange — Missouri

School: Eureka (Mo.)
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 127 NATL.

Lange on his commitment: “It’s close to home,” Lange told On3. “When I think of what I want in a college town, campus, academics and football, it’s everything that I want and I’m really excited to be a part of it. I’ve been told by Missouri’s coaches that I’m going to be a pillar in this recruiting class. I want to be able to help bring guys in and build this class up to something that’s really special. With me and Matt Zollers, I think we can really turn this thing into something that’s going to be great.”

10. Cortez Smith — Georgia

School: Snellville (Ga.) Parkview
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 152 NATL.

Smith on his commitment: “The attention to detail and how they play made Georgia stand out,” Smith told On3. “The coaches, the players and the community behind them are great. The whole community behind the school is awesome and I want to be a part of that.”
