Top 20 Offensive Linemen of the Class of 2027
The latest rankings of the nation’s most coveted offensive line prospects have been released, courtesy of Bound Wisconsin’s senior football analyst Travis Wilson.
Wilson’s list, which spans the top twenty seniors in the Class of 2027, is compiled using a blend of college potential, recruiting buzz, film evaluation, statistical production and award recognition.
At the summit of the chart sits Cole Reiter of Germantown, a 6‑foot‑5, 300‑pound mauler who has already pledged to the University of Wisconsin, the state’s flagship program.
Close behind, Hamilton’s Hunter Mallinger and Verona’s Ethan McIntosh round out the top three, each having committed to Wisconsin as well, underscoring the Badgers’ aggressive pursuit of in‑state talent.
Other standouts include Pewaukee’s Cade Reikowski, now headed to Northwestern, and teammate Jack Tabbert, who earned a scholarship offer from the same Wildcats program.
The remainder of the top ten features Reece Mallinger (Wisconsin), Evan Leibfried (Northern Illinois), Peyton Schuster (Wake Forest), David Provost (Northern Illinois) and Jamail Sewell (Minnesota), each announcing their college destinations.
Further down the list, Germantown’s Brady Moranski and West De Pere’s Sam Schmidt join the Badgers’ pipeline, while Winnebago Lutheran’s Orville Blohm and West Salem’s Luke Grube commit to Western Michigan and North Dakota respectively.
The spread continues with Nicolet’s Truman Wetzel choosing Western Michigan, Germantown’s Carter Gordon holding offers from Illinois State, and Appleton North’s Curtis Leopold drawing interest from St. Thomas, Butler and Drake.
Rounding out the top twenty, Racine Case’s Trenton Harris has committed to Liberty, Catholic Memorial’s Hunter Wagner is headed to Ferris State, and Middleton’s Madden Cleary has received an offer from St. Thomas.
Wilson notes that the commitments reflect a broader trend: many of the state’s elite linemen are electing to stay home for Wisconsin, while others are opting for power‑conference programs across the country, signaling a promising future for both the high school ranks and the colleges that secure them.
