6A

5. Katy

Katy’s Pro 1-Back offense may only return five starters, but four are along the offensive line.

Senior interior offensive lineman LaMar Brown (6-3, 290) was a District 19-6A First Team selection with 20 pancake blocks on the year. He has an offer to Midwestern State.

Junior Isaac Coughran has been on Katy’s varsity team since freshman year. The 6-3, 275-pound prospect played defensive line last season but should see more time on offense in 2025. He was named a team captain for the upcoming season and holds offers from Texas State, UTEP and Arkansas State.

Seniors Andrew Freeze and Adedapo Adetosoye round out the returning starters. Freeze was a Second Team All-District selection in 2024.

4. El Paso Franklin

Senior running back Ernie Powers deservedly gets a lot of the shine after rushing for 2,224 rushing yards and 23 touchdowns. But that wouldn’t be possible without Franklin’s offensive line.

Tackle Justin Morales (6-4, 265) was a District 1-6A First Team selection on both the offensive and defensive lines in 2024. He committed to Kansas State last week. Alongside him at right guard, Martin Contreras (6-2, 301) returns after an Honorable Mention nod as a junior. 

At tackle, senior Eric Sandoval (6-6 1/2, 250) has elite length. Junior Anthony Meraz (6-0, 264) should play along both sides of the line of scrimmage in 2025, taking after Morales.

Look for new head coach Ruben Torres to lean on the rushing attack in his first season.

3. Southlake Carroll

The Dragons offense should breathe fire in 2025. Angelo Renda and Brock Boyd were already named the top QB/RB duo in Class 6A, and they’ll operate behind a loaded offensive line.

Junior tackle Tristan Dare (6-5, 285) is the recruiting headliner. He was named All-Area as a sophomore and holds 22 offers. Fellow junior tackle Luke Wilson (6-7, 280) was a District 4-6A First Team pick as a sophomore and has offers from Wake Forest and UTSA.

Center Carey Clayton (6-3, 270) is the senior leader. The First Team All-District selection has eight total offers. Once he gets ahold of second-level defenders, they cannot break away.

2. Fort Bend Ridge Point

This is the biggest offensive line Ridge Point head coach Rick LaFavers has had in six years at the helm.

The bookends are set with tackles Avery Morcho (6-6, 290) and Hugh Smith (6-5, 300). Morcho is the No. 71 overall player in the DCTF Hot 100. The District 21-6A First Team selection has reeled in 23 offers, including Texas A&M, TCU and SMU. Smith, an Arkansas commit, was a THSCA Super Elite Team selection.

Guard Jordan Burnett (6-5, 330) was a First Team All-District selection and is committed to TCU.

1. Prosper

Poor Prosper, the Eagles only have three sure-fire Division I prospects on the offensive line in 2025 after having five last season!

Left tackle Zaden Krempin is the No. 8 overall recruit in the DCTF Hot 100. Krempin (6-4, 280) is the most offered recruit in Texas with 53 and has a top-4 list of Texas, Texas A&M, Michigan and LSU. He was named District 6-6A Offensive Line MVP in 2024, beating out the four other FBS players on his own team.

Right tackle Bryce Gilmore (6-5, 280) provides Prosper with arguably the top tackle duo in the state. Gilmore earned a First Team All-District nod in his first season on varsity. Gilmore committed to Arkansas on June 2.

Center Sean Stover, a Duke commit, is a key piece on the line’s interior. The 6-3, 290-pound prospect earned First Team All-District honors.

5A

5. San Antonio Southwest

Southwest returns two stud offensive linemen from its 12-1 season, the highest win total since 1985. The group didn’t allow a sack all season and was called for a single holding penalty.

Junior tackle Caden Taylor (6-3, 277) was the District 14-5A DI Offensive Newcomer of the Year. On the opposite side, Ty Friesenhahn (6-1, 270) is a physical player who earned First Team honors.

4. Liberty Hill

Liberty Hill may have a new head coach in David Seaborn, but the Panthers return four of five offensive linemen on a Slot-T offense that rushed for 5,525 yards and 75 touchdowns last season.

Senior center Jett Harrison is the unit’s leader. The 6-2, 250-pound lineman was the District 11-5A DII offensive line MVP and earned Second Team Padilla Poll All-State. He holds offers from Nelson and Harding. Strong tackle Daniel Simpson (6-3, 270) and fellow senior Webb McWilliams (6-0, 205) were Second Team selections.

3. Port Neches-Groves

The strength of PN-G’s offensive line has defined Jeff Joseph’s 40-6 start at the school, and 2025 should be no different. This group will pave the way for running back Tyson Henry, the breakout star in 2024 with 1,654 rushing yards.

Tackle Aaron Wolford, a Houston commit, has started 32 games over his varsity career. The 6-4, 295-pound prospect played the entire state championship game two years ago on a torn PCL he sustained in the state semifinal. He was a District 8-5A DII First Team selection as a junior at right tackle but will flip to the left this year.

On the right side, 6-foot-6, 290-pound tackle Rafa Black could have a standout senior season. Meanwhile, junior Ace Reeves (6-3, 265) is the most versatile lineman. He could play at either guard or tackle, or even on the defensive line. Senior Braison Loftin is a returning starter at guard.

2. South Oak Cliff

If the Golden Bears are to make their fifth consecutive state championship, it’ll be because an uber-talented offensive line jelled together over the season. 

Most of the 2025 starters were rotational pieces last year. Look at 6-foot-6, 270-pound tackle Cortavious Tisaby as a prime example. The Arizona State commit looked every bit of a Division I prospect in 2024, and he’ll be the Day 1 starter in 2025. At the opposite tackle, Brian Swanson (6-5, 310) has offers from Texas, Alabama and Michigan, among others. 

Brison Ramsey-Brooks (6-4, 260) earned District 5-5A DII Second Team honors and has pulled offers from San Diego State, Sacramento State and Prairie View A&M. Junior Zion Ragster (6-1, 290) is another name to know.

1. Texarkana Texas High

How does DCTF No. 3 overall prospect Tradarian Ball compile 1,794 all-purpose yards and 25 touchdowns? It sure helps operating behind this offensive line.

Senior Damien Chisum (6-4, 285) and junior Qua Ford (6-6, 260) have each started every game over the last two seasons and earned back-to-back First Team All-District selections. Chisum is a North Texas commit, while Ford has offers from the likes of Alabama, Texas A&M and Florida State. Senior Garrett Johnson (6-3, 240) is the third returning All-District lineman.
