Top 10 offensive line units ahead of the 2024 college football season
#10 Ole Miss
The Ole Miss offense ranked 16th in points per game last season, behind a stellar season from quarterback Jaxson Dart, who threw for over 3,000 yards in 2023. The Rebels offensive line will once again be tasked with protecting Dart after he announced his return to college football for the 2024 season.
The offensive line features three returning starters, including Jeremy James, Micah Pettus, and Caleb Warren. They also brought in four transfers this season, including Julius Buelow and Nate Kalepo from Washington, who are expected to slide into starting spots.
#9 Missouri
After losing Javon Foster, Marcellus Johnson and Xavier Delgado to the NFL, Missouri secured one of the nation's top tackles from the college football transfer portal.
Oklahoma's Cayden Green committed to Missouri after appearing in 12 games, including five starts, during his freshman season.
#8 Tennessee
Tennessee's offensive line unit will feature many returning players, like Cooper Mays, Javontez Spraggins and John Campbell Jr. They will have an offensive line core with a lot of experience and LSU transfer Lance Heard joining at left tackle this season.
#7 Miami
The Hurricanes offensive line includes three returning starters: Franics Mauigoa, Anez Cooper and Jalen Rivers. They brought in center Zach Carpenter from Indiana to join their veteran line to protect transfer quarterback Cam Ward in 2024.
#6 Oklahoma State
The Oklahoma State Cowboys offensive line paved the way for college football's leading rusher in 2023, Ollie Gordon II.
Every member of the offensive line returns in 2024, with the addition of Arizona State transfer Isaia Glass to compete with Dalton Cooper for the starting left tackle spot.
#5 Oregon
The Oregon Ducks offensive line features two future NFL hopefuls, Ajani Cornelius and Josh Conerly Jr.
They will lose two starters up front, but the addition of Matthew Bedford from the college football transfer portal should help reduce the damage of losing both Jackson Powers-Johnson and Steven Jones.

The Crimson Tide lost JC Latham to the NFL, but they will get Kadyn Proctor back this season after a brief stint in the transfer portal.
#3 Georgia
Georgia will have to deal with the loss of 2024 NFL Draft pick, Amarius Mims after three seasons at tackle. The Bulldogs have depth at every position on the offensive line and will have six starters or former starters returning for the 2024 season.
Tate Ratledge and Dylain Fairchild are the leaders on the offensive front, and left tackle Earnest Greene is considered a top future NFL draft prospect.
#2 Texas
Texas' offensive line will feature one of the top tackles in college football, with Kelvin Banks returning for his third season as a member of the Longhorns. The Longhorns will also bring back Jake Majors, Hayden Conner, DJ Campbell and Cameron Williams on the offensive line in 2024.

The Tigers dominant offensive line is led by junior tackles Will Campbell and Emery Jones Jr., who are both future top NFL Draft selections. Campbell is widely considered to be the best tackle in the country and will be alongside four returning players on the offensive front.
