Stanford makes the top-10 for the top player in Utah Isaiah Garcia

In order for Stanford to return to prominence it is vital they are able to dominate in the trenches like they once did.

Troy Taylor, who spoke with me recently, has hired two offensive line coaches who are both young and rising stars that have been putting in work on the recruiting trail. Both Al Netter and Viane Talamaivao have been extremely noticeable for their efforts they have been putting in, and on Tuesday night we got another prime example of just that.

Stanford was included in the top-10 list of schools for four-star offensive lineman Isaiah Garcia, who took to Twitter to announce his top schools.

I am very grateful for every coach and staff that have recruited me in this experience, but I’ve reached a point where I need to narrow my list down. Here are the 10 schools I will focus on. @coach_OFFA @BlairAngulo @BrandonHuffman @KjarEric @bcavi68 @ChadSimmons_ @adamgorney pic.twitter.com/MkNUvzOTlI

Joining Stanford in the top-10 are programs such as Utah, Alabama, Miami, and USC among others.

The Corner Canyon (UT) product is set to officially visit Stanford on June 23, and is ranked as the No. 212 player in the country. He also ranks as the No. 20 offensive tackle, and the No. 1 player in the state of Utah.

247Sports' Blair Angulo broke down Garcia's game and what he brings to the table saying:

Well-proportioned frame and narrow through the hips. High-upside body type with plus length. Athletic tackle who absorbs contact well. Displays a mean streak in pass protection. Moves his feet tremendously well to stay in front of pass rushers. Seamlessly shifts weight to stay balanced at the point of attack. Flashes great flexibility and bend. Shows good hand violence to neutralize defenders. Could continue to improve as a run blocker and maintaining pad leverage. Potential multi-year starter at elite Power Five level.

Garcia stands in at an impressive 6-foot-5 280 pounds, could end up having a major role on the farm right away if the Cardinal were to land him. As it stands right now, Stanford's 2024 class ranks as the No. 55 class in the country.
