Top 25 Offensive Guards Ranked: 2024 College Football News Preview

Infrastructure is sexy.

Offensive tackles are now given as much hype as skill guys - to a point - and centers are seen as the leaders and quarterbacks up front. The guards are just the guys who line up, hit defenders in front of them, and then do it all again.

But if you don't have two who can do their jobs correctly, they stick out like a sore thumb. So outside of pounding away for the ground game with something powerful, the less they're noticed, the better.

Offensive guard is a specialty job now, and the 25 we're highlighting in our ranking of the best interior blockers going into the 2024 season are terrific.
