With the highest ceiling of any offensive lineman from the Mid-Atlantic in a long time, Isaiah Wilson has a good chance of playing from day one at Georgia. The five-star’s freakish athleticism and the depth chart in Athens could make him a mainstay on the Bulldog offensive line. Wilson has the frame and is talented enough to end up as a first round draft pick.

Damian Prince was a big time prospect out of the DMV that decided to stay home and go to Maryland rather than head to Florida to play for the Gators. He got off to a slow start in College Park but is working to help the Maryland offensive line bounce back in 2017.

A big, blocky offensive lineman in the 2014 class, Quenton Nelson had the skill set to play any of the offensive line positions. This season he was one of Notre Dame’s best offensive linemen and he will return for his senior season in South Bend.

Dorian Johnson was relatively shy when it came to interviews while he was a high school prospect and stayed close to home, choosing the Pitt Panthers in November of his senior season. He had a great 2016 season and projects as one of the better offensive linemen in the upcoming NFL Draft.

One of the most hotly debated prospects in the 2017 class, Calvin Ashley lost his fifth star before his senior season and nearly regained it after a good showing at the Under Armour All-America Game. Despite a strong push from Maryland, Ashley remains committed to Auburn and says he has shut his recruitment down.
