May 16, 2012 – Monday I ranked offensive tackles who can also play guard in College. Today I’m ranking the top offensive guards who can move over to center in college (some of these players).
I feel like the guards have the task of always making it happen for running plays. They create holes for running backs, and sometimes — depending how athletic the player is — pull and lead block downfield on run plays. They always seem to have the task of blocking more than one player every down. Sometimes an athletic linebacker or a safety who runs a 4.5/40 might come through the middle of the offensive line finding a space blitzing, and the guards have to pick him up and be athletic enough to do that.
I ranked these kids based on technique and who can get up field pulling and leading the way for the running backs with a tough, aggressive style of blocking. You also need to be strong and have quick feet to play this position.
Here are my top offensive guards for the 2013 Class of Louisiana football prospects. This list is 2013 Class seniors only.
