MileHigh Prep Report Top Returning O-Lines Class 1A

Picking the top returning Offensive Lineman was a very challenging feat.  It was a lot of digging through who was lost and who is coming back.  An offensive line could be hurt by departures of a few players or could be strengthen.  This was one of the toughest things to pick so I am not putting them in any order.  If you think I am missing someone or have the wrong info, please message me so I can fix it.

Wiggins HSWiggins made the playoffs last season falling in the Quarterfinals.  Wiggins lost a big senior class last year losing 14 Total Seniors plus 6 Jr/Sr offensive/defensive lineman.  Wiggins will bring back key leadership from last year but will be looking for the 5 returning Jr/Sr Offensive & Defensive lineman to step up this year.
