Offensive Linemen
Total 5-stars: Nine
Top-Rated Prospect: Gregory Little (Allen, Texas)
The 6'5.5", 282-pound tackle dominated during his first season as a starter. He helped pave the way for Allen to win a second straight state championship and protected coveted 2015 quarterback prospect Kyler Murray.
Little is the No. 1 overall sophomore prospect in the 247Sports rankings. His list of campus visits already includes LSU, Texas, Texas A&M, Arizona State, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State.
Best of the Rest
Ben Cleveland (Toccoa, Ga.) is the latest elite offensive tackle to warrant attention in the Peach Tree State. The 6'7", 322-pound Stephens County High School standout is ranked No. 6 overall in the 2016 class and holds offers from Florida, Auburn, Georgia and Clemson, among others.
Liam Eichenberg (Cleveland) and Patrick Hudson (Silsbee, Texas) are also rated among the country's top 10 sophomore prospects. Eichenberg is uncommitted with offers from Notre Dame, Michigan and Ohio State, while Hudson pledged to Texas A&M last month.
Jauan Williams (Washington, D.C.) is one of the most intriguing recruits in this class. The tackle is relatively raw, but his strength and 6'7" frame command collegiate attention, with offers including Tennessee, Virginia Tech, UCLA, Clemson, Maryland and Ohio State.
Willie Allen (New Orleans) is the latest coveted prospect to emerge at perennial national powerhouse John Curtis Christian High School. The 6'6", 265-pound tackle has added offers from LSU, Michigan and Notre Dame since February.
Ben Bredeson (Hartland, Wis.) is sure to draw constant attention in Big Ten Conference country. The versatile lineman visited Wisconsin, Ohio State, Tennessee and Michigan earlier this month.
John Raridon (West Des Moines, Iowa) is rated No. 1 nationally among guard prospects. The 6'4", 260-pound Valley High School product has collected offers from Oklahoma, Iowa, Iowa State and Nebraska.

Defensive Linemen
Total 5-stars: 12
Top-Rated Prospect: Shavar Manuel (Tampa, Fla.)
The 6'3", 262-pound defensive end is rated No. 2 nationally among 2016 prospects. He provided a dominant presence at Blake High School during his underclassman career, tallying 103 tackles and 29 sacks in two seasons.
He compiled 25 tackles for loss and six fumble recoveries in 2013. His offer list includes Alabama, Florida State, Clemson, Miami and Florida.
Best of the Rest
Julian Rochester (Powder Springs, Ga.) gives the Peach State a top-ranked defensive tackle for the second straight year (2015 prospect Trent Thompson is the No. 1 overall player in 247Sports' composite rankings). The 6'5.5", 280-pound prospect, who produces at a high rate for dominant Georgia program McEachern High School, has spent significant time on campus at Georgia and Auburn.
Edwin Alexander (Hammond, La.) emerged as an early target for several SEC squads, including Ole Miss, Florida and Alabama. The tackle tallied 11.5 sacks and 29 tackles for loss in 2013, committing to LSU in November.
Rashan Gary (Scotch Plains, N.J.) makes it three defensive tackles who are rated among the nation's top 10 sophomore prospects. He is arguably the best defender in Northeast recruiting territory, collecting offers from Florida State, Rutgers, Alabama, Florida and Penn State.
Dexter Lawrence (Wake Forest, N.C.) is another dominant defensive tackle from the East Coast. The 6'5", 300-pound menace provided serious push up the middle as a sophomore, securing 56 tackles and five sacks, per MaxPreps.
The rankings feature several standout defensive ends, including Los Angeles pass-rusher Breland Brandt. The Windward School star holds offers from USC, Miami, UCLA and Washington after registering 63 tackles and 10.5 sacks as a junior, per MaxPreps.
Isaac Garcia (Bellevue, Wash.) is another premier defender off the edge. The 6'4", 215-pound defender helped anchor a dominant defense during a 2013 state championship journey and received an offer from Washington State earlier this month.
