After taking care of the quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends, here’s a look at my top 25 tight ends for the prep class of 2023.
Top 5
1. Kadyn Proctor, Alabama
— Midwest OL has great feet and mauls.
2. Francis Mauigoa, Miami
— Elite athlete who could be special.
3. J’Ven Williams, Penn State
— Raw in some aspects but upside is elite.
4. Zalance Heard, LSU
— Massive and thick and one of the stronger players in this class.
5. Luke Montgomery, Ohio State

Rest of the Top 25
11. Chase Bisontis, Texas A&M
— Jersey tough and could play OT or OG
12. Monroe Freeling, Georgia
— Nasty OL could play LT or RT.
13. Lucas Simmons, Florida State
— Love his bend despite being so tall.
14. Zechariah Owens, Clemson
— Just an absolute road grading monster.
15. Samson Okunlola, Miami
— Great frame and size but more raw than many think.
16. Olaus Alinen, Alabama
— The third OT on this list for Alabama which is no surprise.
17. Tyree Adams, LSU
— Overlooked a bit but could be a three year starter.
18. Elijah Page, USC
— Tall with good reach and excellent feet.
19. Payton Kirkland, Texas
— Massive kid who could kick inside as well.
20. Miles McVay, Alabama
— Another Alabama player? He’s likely to start inside but has OT potential.
Alabama football’s newest 4-Star OL commit, Miles McVay is a massive offensive lineman at 6-foot-7 and 340 pounds.
He blocks well in space, and he carries his weight well. @Jdsmith31Smith
