The San Antonio area has been a low-key spot for D1 talent on the offensive line from Derek Kerstetter, Brannon Brown, Spencer Burford, Logan Parr, and Trenton Scott to more recently Colton Thomasson, Ory Williams, and Logan Schram. Here are a few names to keep that ball rolling for Big Men with big-time potential at the next level.

Kaeden Scott stands out as a potential star, even among the already large high school football players at Roosevelt High. At 6'8", he screams tackle with his build, and he moves fluidly on the field. I enjoyed seeing his progression from being a blank canvas early in the season, to being one of the most impressive players at the National Combine in January. He recently attended Junior Day at the University of Texas before the dead period began. Kaeden is being recruited by the likes of UTSA, Texas, Tennessee, Stanford, and Ole Miss, to name a few.

The next big thing isn’t just a phrase when speaking on 2028 Judson offensive lineman Jai ‘storm Knight. Power 4 programs have already thrown their hats in the ring early for Knight. Nebraska, Auburn, Texas Tech, and UTAH to be exact. Knight is a mean and punishing blocker who goes through the whistle and is normally doing pushups off his pancaked opponent. He can also get to the second level and at his size defenders make business decisions when they see him coming.

Nick Henry is a really impressive lineman. He just got two offers, one from Pittsburgh and one from Texas State. I like his versatility – he could play tackle, guard, or defensive tackle. He's a physically imposing player, and he shows a lot of explosiveness on the field. He does a good job with the snap, and I really think he could blow up the recruiting trail this coming season. Watch out for this kid.

2026 Rattlers Big Man Shavien Anderson is equally good at run blocking and pass protection, and he plays Guard/Tackle. He has lined up in the backfield and moves extremely well pull blocking. He's on most all radars of all Texas colleges, and whoever presents an offer will be in the running of getting a talented player with drive and a great upside.

I guess it’s safe to say that Somerset is more than just a small town. The place has a history of producing big men, and the next on the list is Jake Seay. He saw plenty of time as a first-year student, and I can't wait to see how he improves on that experience. He has a full slate of off-season camps lined up, so he'll be working on his craft.

Cornerstone houses one of the biggest and most impressive tackles in the area in Brandon Stewart Jr. He is physical and nasty and always working to finish his opponents. He has impressive power in his hands and often knocks rushers off balance or puts them down with well-timed stabs.
