When you talk about the Class of 2027, one thing’s for sure — the trenches in Oklahoma are loaded. These young linemen are already making names for themselves with size, athleticism, and elite-level potential. Whether it’s protecting the quarterback or wrecking plays in the backfield, these are the big men dominating the line of scrimmage.

🥇 1. Cooper Hackett — Fort Gibson (OT)

Standing around 6'6" and 250+ lbs, Hackett has the frame and athleticism that college programs dream of. His length, balance, and ability to move in space make him one of the most complete tackles in the country for his class.

Recruiting Buzz: Ranked among the top 10 nationally in the 2027 class.
Commitment: Texas Tech commit (early verbal).
Why He’s Special: A natural leader with explosive footwork — dominant on both pass pro and run blocking.

🥈 2. Kaeden Penny — Bixby (IOL)

Bixby keeps producing elite-level talent, and Kaeden Penny is next up. At 6'4" and 280 lbs, he’s a powerhouse in the trenches with strength, leverage, and a mean streak that every offensive line coach loves.

Recruiting Buzz: Recently earned 5-star status and one of the top-rated guards in the nation.
Commitment: Oklahoma Sooners.
Why He’s Special: Physical and explosive off the ball — a road-grader who finishes blocks.

🥉 3. Odaefe Oruru — Jenks (OL)

Jenks always brings toughness, and Oruru is built from that same mold. With a 6'6", 290 lb frame, he’s still developing, but the upside is huge. His balance, hand placement, and patience in pass sets are what separate him from most 2027 prospects.

Recruiting Buzz: Climbing up Oklahoma’s 2027 rankings.

⚙️ 4. Dawayne Jones — Booker T. Washington (DL)

Jones brings serious disruption from the defensive line spot. At 6'3", 265 lbs, he’s a hybrid-style player who can play inside or outside. Quick first step, strong punch, and relentless motor — the kind of defender that offensive linemen hate lining up against.

Recruiting Buzz: Rising prospect in the 2027 class with eyes from multiple D1 scouts.
Why He’s Special: Power and speed combo — creates chaos in the trenches.
