One of the most beneficial positions to recruit on a yearly basis is offensive lineman. If you think about it offensively speaking running backs are in surplus, you can usually find two or three solid ones. Receivers are also a pretty hot commodity. And if you get a prized quarterback your first responsibility is to keep him protected an upright. So when you find a good offensive lineman who is a bulldozer in the running game and has good feet and a solid base for pass protection time should not be wasted in acquiring his talent.
Saying that Georgia Tech did an excellent job of offering offensive lineman, Thomas O'Reilly, out of Pope high school in Georgia. Thomas stands at 6'3 315lbs. and in my mind will be an excellent offensive guard. The way he attacks defenders and waste little time putting them into the ground is exciting for a running back. And he has really good feet and hands in rerouting defenders in pass blocking.
I would still consider his specialty run blocking, and it will only be a matter of time before the SEC and more ACC schools begin to offer. This 2011 recruit is one of the better offensive lineman in the Southeast and if you do not agree check out his video.......
