OL Blaise Thomassie of Catholic High

I know he has numerous offers. Would be a legacy recruit, FWIW.

I remember in the 80s or 90s Ryan Thomassie was a guard and he was a good one in high school.

I'm assuming Blaise is Ryan's son? Ryan was one of the most sought out Olineman coming out of high school. One hell of a player!

He's expected to shift inside moving forward. Hasn't been offered yet, but he will be one that they evaluate during senior year.

He is technically a legacy recruit simply due to him being the son of Ryan Thomassie, however I predict this kid will be the number one or two OL in state before it is all said and done.

Full disclosure, I know the family which could be taken as me having a bias or me actually knowing a lot about Blaise and the 2026 OL class, or both.

When the first 2026 rankings came out almost 2 years ago, Blaise was "only" a 6' - 3-3/4" and 235lb sophomore. It was understandable for him to be ranked behind Brysten and Lamar from a recruiting standpoint because those are based more on projections at the next level and size matters, in additon to lack of game film, etc. We all know its easier for a small guy to be more athletic than a big guy, the hard part is keeping that athleticism with the additional size.

He camped at few places last summer at around 6'-4" and 260lbs, still not quite the size most D1 schools look for in an elite OL, despite him being the most athletic OL at the camp.

Fast forward to today, Blaise is still growing and is a legit 6'-5" and solid 285lbs. Its crazy how fast he is putting on muscle and actually becoming more explosive as a result, not less.

I've said this before but people always want to compare a recruit to a former LSU player, my opinion is he is Will Cambell 2.0.

LSU better stop slow playing this one...

Yes, he is Ryan's son

Blaise is a great kid and looks like he could gain 25 lbs and still move great. Highly projectable at the next level. Seems like a prototypical BK lineman recruit. I think he'll end up at a Top 20 program, just hope it's LSU.

And switched to OL. I remember he was able to dunk back at Rummel. Quite impressive as he was a large human.

Ehhh what? Here are your top center prospects for the 2025 NFL Draft:

Jared Wilson, Georgia: 6’3", 310 lbs, 4th Year.

Grey Zabel, North Dakota State: 6’6", 305 lbs, 5th Year.

Jonah Monheim, USC: 6’5", 295 lbs, 5th Year.

Seth McLaughlin, Ohio State: 6’4", 305 lbs, 5th Year.

Pat Coogan, Notre Dame: 6’4", 300 lbs, 5th Year.

He’s been playing LT since he was a freshman. Dominated Dominick McKinley in the state championship as a sophomore… along with guys like Jamal Waller and Keyland Moses. But he projects inside and he’s super smart, which you need to be as a C.
