Louisiana High School Football: Preseason All-State Team

When five-star offensive lineman Albert Simien told Blue & Gold, “If Notre Dame isn’t playing, I’m not watching,” he apparently was not lying.

Albert Simien's length, movement skills, and functional strength remind us of Donovan Jackson. The latter tested as a better athlete and was taller at the same stage. Both showed the ability to play multiple spots along the offensive line with length to hold up at tackle, while ideally projecting along the interior long-term. 

Dominant interior offensive line prospect whose combination of length, functional mobility, and balance makes him one of the top linemen in the 2027 cycle. Measured just under 6-foot-3 and around 295 pounds prior to his junior season with plus length, including 34-inch arms. Lines up at left tackle for his high school, where he consistently controls the line of scrimmage. Dominant run blocker who manipulates defenders with his length, strength, and coordination. Moves easily to the second level and maintains leverage to seal running lanes. Has outstanding lower body flexibility as a mover. Equally effective in pass protection with controlled feet and strong balance in his set. Rarely off-platform and plays with a calm, steady demeanor. Shows up as a better athlete on the field than he tests in combine settings. Does not overwhelm from a stature standpoint and is slightly shorter than ideal for a top interior prospect, but compensates with technique, consistency, and competitive toughness. Well-rounded game, positional versatility, and dominant film make him one of the safest offensive line prospects in the 2027 cycle.
