Top 2026 interior offensive line prospects in the Rivals Industry Ranking

You can never have enough beef in the trenches. The 2026 recruiting cycle is chock-full of standout talent on the interior offensive line and there’s been some hotly-contested recruiting battles for their commitments this summer.

As of Oct. 2, all but three of the top 100 IOL prospects in the 2026 cycle — according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all major recruiting media companies — are currently committed.

Flips and decommitments will remain on the table until the December signing period arrives, but many look locked in with their respective pledges. Below are the top interior offensive line recruits in the nation with football season well underway:

1. Darius Gray — South Carolina commit

School: St. Christopher’s School (Va.)
Rivals Industry Ranking: No. 31 NATL.

About: The Gamecocks landed their third five-star commitment is as many classes by beating out LSU, Tennessee, Ohio State and a long list of other offers for Gray. He was a Navy All-American as a junior in 2025. And he starred on both sides of the ball for St. Christopher’s, helping leading them to the state Division I playoffs. He played primarily left tackle on offense and was credited with 50 tackles (17.5 TFLs), eight sacks, and two forced fumbles on defense.

2. John Turntine — Texas commit

School: North Crowley (Texas)
Rivals Industry Ranking: No. 55 NATL.

Scout’s Take: “After a dramatic body transformation from his sophomore to junior season, it looks like Turntine has added back some quality mass throughout his frame and is using it to punish opposing defenders throughout his senior season. Turntine has played with a returned form of pop and power at the point of attack that we hadn’t seen since his sophomore season. His ability at the point of attack manipulating defenders at the line of scrimmage has returned and he still looks just as functional as an athlete, especially when working in space. His performance in pass protection and in the run game has shown a return to dominance that we hadn’t seen from Turntine in nearly a year.”

3. Kevin Brown — Penn State commit

School: Harrisburg (Pa.)
Rivals Industry Ranking: No. 67 NATL.

Scout’s Take: “Brown had an incredible offseason with multiple impressive camp performances. But the biggest concern with Brown has been on Friday nights with limited snaps being taken along the offensive line. He had primarily been lined up as an H-back for Harrisburg, but as a senior he has been working at right tackle, left tackle, tight end, and as an H-back. Brown has proven thus far that he has the athletic ability and play strength to not only function in the pass and run games as a blocker, but excel. Similar to what we were able to see from him in the camp setting, Brown’s tenacity and ability to finish pops off the screen. He plays mean and lets every defender on the field feel his presence throughout the entirety of the game.”

4. Samuel Roseborough — Texas A&M commit

School: Clearwater (Fla.)
Rivals Industry Ranking: No. 104 NATL.

Roseborough on his commitment: “It’s just the future with Coach (Mike) Elko, Coach (Adam) Cushing, the relationships built there are just so strong,” Roseborough told Rivals in July. “What put them over the top for me was how they prioritized my family just as much as they prioritized me. How they talk more about the future and where they see me fitting in.”

5. Leo Delaney — Clemson commit

School: Providence Day (N.C.)
Rivals Industry Ranking: No. 112 NATL.

Delaney on his pledge: “I am not worried at all about Clemson,” he told Rivals’ Chad Simmons amidst Clemson’s rough start to the 2025 season. “A couple of bad games only defines the start of their season, not the whole thing. I see a ton of talent on the team … once they figure out how to put it all together, it’s gonna be special.”

6. Tommy Tofi — Oregon commit

School: Archbishop Riordan (Calif.)
Rivals Industry Ranking: No. 144 NATL.

About: Tofi originally committed to Cal, but backed off that pledge at the end of June. Oregon was trending in the summer and that led to him choosing the Ducks just a couple days later on July 2. “No hard feelings against Cal, it actually felt like home, but I feel like my heart was at Oregon,” Tofi told Rivals’ Adam Gorney. “Going back to Eugene made me realize Oregon was the spot for me and I wanted to be in Eugene.”

7. Bott Mulitalo — BYU commit

School: Lone Peak (Utah)
Rivals Industry Ranking: No. 148 NATL.

About: Like Tofi, Mulitalo has also flipped his commitment this summer. This time it was Oregon that landed his pledge first, but he decommitted from the Ducks in March. Less than two months later, he chose Kalani Sitake and BYU. Playing for one of the top high school football programs in the Beehive State, Mulitalo currently ranks as the No. 3 recruit in Utah this cycle.

8. Gregory Patrick — Notre Dame commit

School: Portage Northern (Mich.)
Rivals Industry Ranking: No. 149 NATL.

Scout’s Take: “Patrick plays with very good leverage, shows power, drives through his hips to uproot and get defensive linemen off balance. When you look at his physical makeup and size, he looks good at between 6-4 and 6-5 and 280 pounds. He has positional versatility in that he could play on the interior or at tackle if needed. Long term, he has more of the body of an interior offensive lineman, but he has the movement skills and reactive quickness to potentially play tackle if needed at Notre Dame. He has quality hand placement, understands angles and has a noticeable wherewithal regarding how he plays. He doesn’t find himself out of position often and doesn’t have many discernible weaknesses.”

9. Max Riley — Ohio State commit

School: Avon Lake (Ohio)
Rivals Industry Ranking: No. 150 NATL.

Riley on the Buckeyes: “I think there is a lot of opportunity at Ohio State in more aspects than football,” Riley told Lettermen Row in March. “You can have an impact on people for the better because you’re an Ohio State football player. I don’t think there’s been a better time to be a Buckeye.”

10. Chancellor Barclay — Clemson commit

School: The First Academy (Fla.)
Rivals Industry Ranking: No. 167 NATL.

Barclay on Clemson: “I have a lot of faith in Coach Swinney because of his record and what he’s done as a coach,” Barclay told Rivals’ Chad Simmons last month. “If everyone lost faith when something went wrong, we’d have a lot of problems. Trials build endurance, and in the end our faith will be seen from our actions and results. I’m not worried.”
