Like everyone else has said: "You're too young"
You're lifts are strong, but compared to strength:bodyweight ratio they are weak. You don't need any ass assistance because you haven't plateaued yet. I know this without knowing you because it takes at least a year at peak strength to even consider the idea of being plateaued and this really only happens once you've matured
I wouldn't even be concerned at maintaining 270 bw, you should be much much stronger before being that weight even while on the o-line. Think of your role in that position, protect the qb, you just need to stop there d-line getting through. The difference between you being 250 vs 270 is irrelevant compared to adding 20 more "pounds of force resistance" with your legs or arms. A task much better in terms of performance. Power should be your priority, you can barely clean your bodyweight, my next guess is your slow. If you work speed from the line into your opponent you'll be far more effective at Filling your role.
Recommendations: work on recouping naturally, get down to 260 bw by dropping fat, while getting stronger and faster, 260 pounds hitting me at 1.5m/s is more effective than 270 hitting me at 1.47m/s (because physics) so it will probably be more beneficial to worry about strength, speed and power at 240-260 for now, then getting up to 270 with a better body comp. This will take time if done correctly but assuming you have 20 weeks before training camp you could easily be 255-260 with increased strength and speed before season starts
You'll also appear bigger, fat hanging off you makes you look out of shape, muscle suspends better through their attachments at the joints through the tendons even while relaxed which will make you appear as if you're heavier than if you were simply fat
You'll take a few years before you're really at your peak, by the time your ready to actually consider aas you'll at least be old enough with a bit more experience to decide if it's going to be worth it
Good luck with your decision
