There’s no stellar quarterback play without a dominating offensive line. Even in the Southeastern Conference, as a litany of returning passers headline the 2025 season. But the likes of D.J. Lagway and Garrett Nussmeier still need stout play up front to thrive in the SEC.
The conference already delivered the best OL prospect for the 2025 NFL Draft. Will Campbell is off to the New England Patriots after graduating from LSU. Nussmeier loses his top blindside protector in the process.
Even Steve Sarkisian is dealing with a massive loss in Austin. Texas star tackle Kelvin Banks joined Campbell in the top 10 of draft night. Landing with the New Orleans Saints at ninth overall.
There are trench units reloading, though. Including one that has to replace its own high draft pick. Time to dive into the line of scrimmage and unveil the top five offensive line units in the SEC.

A burning question in the state capitol of Texas isn’t solely how Arch Manning will fare. How his front line holds up is a another big one to ask.
Texas lost more than Banks. Four of five starters departed. D.J. Campbell is the only returner.
Center Cole Hutson adds needed experience, though. Through 13 total starts. Trevor Goosby is a swing tackle option who filled in nicely when needed. Manning should be in excellent shape with a young OL unit.
4. South Carolina Gamecocks
Add LaNorris Sellers as one more high-profile SEC QB needing strong trench play. He needs the big guys in Columbus to help energize his Heisman Trophy/first round campaign.
He gets the benefit of both tackles returning. Blindside protector Josiah Thompson and Cason Henry lead the front five.
