Underrated Players in the Semi-Finals: 15 Offensive Linemen

We all have seen and heard about the top-20 players in the state. Likely, we have heard the names we have in our underrated players but not nearly enough. That is why we start the list today for players we missed in our Top-20.

Also, in the underrated section is the players we might know but positions like offensive linemen or special teams players that are not mentioned as much as they should.

Grine on OL: The group that is not seen in the headlines as much as they should is the offensive linemen. Today we highlight those young men who are the muscle and power to those top running backs and or quarterbacks. These men move the chains.

Divison-1

We start at the top of the list with Rio Rancho Ram offensive lineman Logan Hertz who is the lone OL with a Division-1 offer. Hertz, helps move the chains for New Mexico's top offense and will be one to watch this weekend.

Division-2

The next group has offers and interest growing from college coaches. Hayden Wilson (Cleveland HS), Daimon Altamirano (Cleveland HS) and Marcus Bramwell (Artesia HS) currently hold offers from Division-2 teams. Wilson, also has interest from D-1 programs and could be the name that jumps into the D-1.

Depth

Las Cruces High School has an offensive line that could be the best top-down. We've heard about junior skill players dominating on the gridiron but these young men are the reason. The group started last season as juniors and all five are great but the three we mentioned are Triston Olson, Jeremy Chavez and Damian Aguirre. Olson, is the name to know and will have an offer by the end of the season, as the 6-foot-2, 270 pound big man is the fuel at center for the Dawgs.

Little School, Big Movement

A small school player could find himself on the finalist for Mr. Football (Ezekiel Tapia) but the man who deserve some credit is the junior OL Carlos Parra who has helped move the chains for him. Parra, will also find himself on the list for OL of the Year in the classification and state.
