2027 TOP OL RECRUIT JAMES COCOZZO
OL James Cocozzo
6'4", 290
Stillwater HS
(NY)
GPA - 3.9
TOP 2027 OL RECRUIT
Scouting notes - Top 2027 OL recruit James Cocozzo is a 6’4”, 290-pound offensive line standout from Stillwater High School (NY) & is one of the premier interior linemen in the 2027 football recruiting class & already holds offers from Indiana, Syracuse, and Rutgers. The son of former San Diego Chargers guard and 1992 Michigan All-American Joe Cocozzo, James carries on the family legacy with the same toughness, athleticism, and technical polish that project him as an NFL-caliber prospect down the road. A two-time First Team All-State selection, Cocozzo turned in a dominant sophomore season, producing 87 pancake blocks without allowing a single sack or even a hurry which is an extraordinary testament to his consistency and dominance in the trenches. He plays with rare athleticism for his size, excelling as a pulling guard where his explosive first step, balance, and leg drive allow him to erase defenders at both the first and second levels. His hand placement and leverage are advanced, enabling him to move opponents against their will and finish blocks with relentless physicality. Cocozzo is equally refined in pass protection, flashing a smooth drop step, fluid lateral movement, and disciplined footwork to mirror defenders and keep his quarterback clean. His blend of nastiness, technical prowess, and bloodline pedigree make him not only one of the best offensive line recruits in the country but also a foundational piece for any program looking to establish dominance up front. James Cocozzo’s versatility is one of his most valuable assets as his athletic profile, size & technical skills give him the potential to play any position along the offensive front. At 6’4”, 290 pounds, he has the natural build and explosiveness to thrive as a road-grading guard, where his pulling ability & physicality make him a nightmare for linebackers at the second level. However, his quick feet, lateral agility & strong hand placement also make him a candidate to play tackle, where he can handle edge speed & protect the quarterback with poise. Cocozzo’s football IQ and bloodline pedigree further enhance his adaptability, suggesting that he could even transition to center with added refinement in snapping mechanics and line calls. At the next level, he projects as a high-ceiling interior lineman with the flexibility to fill multiple spots depending on team needs. His ability to play across the line not only raises his value as a recruit but also makes him a plug-and-play prospect for Power Five programs, with the upside to develop into an NFL-caliber starter who can anchor an offensive line for years to come

2027 TOP OL RECRUIT BEN GLASS
OL Ben Glass
6'4", 255
Mount Dora Christian Academy
(FL)
GPA - 4.3
TOP 2027 OL RECRUIT
Scouting notes - Top 2027 OL recruit Ben Glass is a 6’4”, 255-pound offensive line recruit out of Mount Dora Christian Academy (FL) & is one of the most technically advanced and physically gifted blockers in the 2027 recruiting class. Glass explodes off the snap with excellent burst, immediately gaining leverage with some of the cleanest hand placement you will see from a high school lineman. Once engaged, he generates punishing pancake blocks by driving through defenders with his tremendous lower-body strength and relentless leg drive. His ability to quickly wall off second-level defenders showcases his athleticism and football IQ, making him equally effective in gap and zone schemes. In pass protection, Glass stands out with one of the quickest drop steps in his class, allowing him to mirror smaller, quicker defenders before neutralizing them with violent open-hand punches that halt pass rush momentum. His wide base and natural balance make him nearly immovable once he’s set, and his combination of power, agility, and nastiness in the trenches make him a dominant two-phase blocker. With his blend of explosiveness, technique, and mean streak, Top 2027 OL recruit Ben Glass has the tools to become one of the most coveted offensive line recruits nationally in the 2027 cycle and projects as a future Power Five starter with long-term NFL upside. Top 2027 OL recruit Ben Glass projects as a player who could line up at either guard or tackle at the next level, but his traits may ultimately make him an even more dominant interior lineman. His explosiveness off the snap, violent hand strikes, and leg drive are tailor-made for guard, where he could maximize his ability to maul defenders in the run game and quickly climb to the second level. On the other hand, his quick drop step, balance, and ability to mirror smaller pass rushers show he has the agility to stick at tackle if needed, particularly on the right side. His versatility will be extremely attractive to college programs, as he could realistically start his career as a tackle and transition inside if necessary. Long term, Glass’s mean streak, leverage mastery, and lower-body power give him the upside of an elite Power Five guard with All-Conference potential, while still having the athletic ceiling to develop into a tackle depending on scheme fit.

2027 TOP OL RECRUIT NOAH WEILBACHER
OL Noah Weilbacher
6'3", 295
Mount Dora HS
(FL)
GPA - 3.5
TOP 2027 OL RECRUIT
Scouting notes - Mount Dora Christian’s Noah Weilbacher has emerged as one of the premier interior offensive linemen in the 2027 recruiting class, combining brute strength with refined technical skill and a relentless motor. At 6’3”, 295 pounds, Weilbacher possesses an ideal frame for an interior lineman, with a compact, powerful build that allows him to gain instant leverage and anchor effectively against larger defensive tackles. His play through the first half of the 2025 season has drawn major collegiate attention, with programs such as South Dakota showing early recruiting interest—an indication of his rising national profile. Weilbacher’s game is defined by his explosive first step and textbook hand placement. Off the snap, he gains instant leverage, shooting his hands inside with precision to control defenders at the point of attack. His leg drive and core strength enable him to consistently finish blocks, often burying defenders with a punishing final push that results in highlight-worthy pancake blocks. In the run game, he is a true bulldozer, capable of creating significant vertical displacement to open up running lanes. His ability to read defensive fronts and adjust his blocking angle mid-block showcases his high football IQ and understanding of play design. From Weeks 1 through 7 of his latest film, Weilbacher consistently demonstrates his ability to execute pull blocks and reach assignments with impressive agility for his size. His balance and footwork allow him to stay square and maintain control, even when working against faster, much smaller defenders. He also shows an advanced ability to redirect defenders and seal off pursuit lanes—traits that make him an invaluable asset in both power and zone-blocking schemes. In pass protection, Weilbacher’s combination of lateral quickness, wide base, and violent hands makes him extremely difficult to beat. He anchors well against bull rushers and displays the patience and composure to handle stunts and blitzes from the interior. His hand timing and placement stand out—he consistently lands clean, forceful punches that neutralize opposing rushers early in the rep. Overall, Noah Weilbacher projects as a D1 FBS or FCS interior lineman with the skill set, size, and tenacity to make an immediate impact at the next level. His blend of technique, physicality, and football intelligence makes him one of the most complete trench prospects in the 2027 class, with a ceiling as a dominant collegiate guard or center capable of anchoring an offensive line for years to come.
