The 2026 high school football season is shaping up to be a showcase for some of the most dominant offensive linemen in the South Bay, each bringing a blend of size, skill and college‑level promise.
Leading the list is Seth Sullivan, a 6‑foot‑6, 285‑pound senior from Redondo Union High School, who earned first‑team all‑area honors last year and has pledged to continue his career at San Diego State.
Not far behind, David Medina of San Pedro stands out as the reigning L.A. City Section offensive lineman of the year, a 5‑foot‑11, 290‑pound force that was a first‑team all‑area selection and a dominant presence on the line.
Larry Shingleton, a junior captain at Serra, has been virtually untouchable, having not surrendered a single sack throughout the previous season and now holding five Division 1 offers, including one from the University of Arizona.
Commitments and College Destinations
Inglewood’s London Alex, a 6‑foot‑3, 283‑pound senior, finished as a second‑team all‑area selection and will be counted on to fortify the Sentinels’ front as they look to climb the league standings.
Sione Finau, a 6‑foot‑7, 310‑pound senior from Mary Star, garnered all‑CIF recognition last year and committed to San Diego State, anchoring a Mary Star offensive line that hopes to build on its recent success.
Ace Taylor, a 6‑foot‑4, 290‑pound senior returning to lead the Cavaliers’ line, aims to rebound from a challenging previous season and provide stability for Serra’s attack.
Palos Verdes’ Jake Pekarek, a 6‑foot‑5, 290‑pound senior with four Division 1 offers, is a key returner for the Sea Kings, while Jake Denney, a 6‑foot‑2, 275‑pound Peninsula stalwart, earned second‑team all‑area honors and remains a reliable anchor.
Ethan Mejia, a four‑year starter and center for Mary Star, was a third‑team all‑area pick last season and continues to be a steadying presence in the middle of the line.
Completing the top ten, Nico Pauley, a 6‑foot‑3, 290‑pound junior at Mira Costa, brings experience and leadership to the Mustangs’ offensive front as they prepare for a competitive campaign.
