When recruiting Oline, what is the selling point?

For example, wide receivers may be interested in big passing attacks/scoring tds. You might sell rbs lots of carries, etc.
What is usually said to sell an O lineman?
Just curious. TIA

The sure promise that if and when you play, that you will block. A lot.

For LSU, the past few years would have to be, come create holes for the best RB duo in the country and NFL scouts will constantly notice you because they'll be watching Buga every game.

Opportunity to learn all 5 positions and play early (either by need or strength of play). Going against the top D-Line talent that plays in the SEC.

I think the above nailed it.
Also "you will play in a pro style offense where you learn to run and pass block"

This. Also don't underestimate that even with the fact that the fans hate LSU's run scheme o-linemen love it. Much more fun to block when you are firing out of your stance and attacking the defender over taking a few steps back and having a 250-300 pound man run full speed at you and you have to stop them.

Had a big time offensive lineman recruit at my high school when I was a sophomore. I remember for him the run to pass ratio was his main factor(he strongly preferred run blocking) . In the end it didn't matter because he was a huge bust.

I know nothing about OL blocking but it seems like it would be more "fun" to run block then pass block?

Played O-line and run blocking is infinitely more fun and more advantageous for the offensive line compared to the defensive line.

Big Uglies love to run block and well......you can best be assured we do a lot of that.

We are still one of he few teams utilizing a ProStyle attack. The schemes learned here are more similar to what they'll be expected to learn in the NFL.

Have a copy of your recent draft picks, where they went in the draft, and the amount of money they signed for.

a free education, and at a place like LSU, Bama, etc., promise of development that may end up with you being drafted/playing in the NFL...
at smaller schools, i dunno what, other than the aforementioned free education, they offer...
