Offensive Line
So, we are obviously rebuilding our complete O-Line this season. Here are the pieces we have (from UTRockets.com).
Code:
95 Atariwa, Yazeed OL 6-4 295 So. Sterling, VA (Dominion)
70 Badford, Darius OL 6-2 320 So. Elyria, OH (Elyria)
63 Coy, John OL 6-5 320 So. Ontario, OH (Ontario)
62 Fair, Jordan OL 6-5 281 Fr. Mason, OH (William Mason)
60 Jeppesen, Nate OL 6-4 292 So. Portage, MI (Central)
67 Kassem, Sami OL 6-4 320 Jr. Cincinnati, OH (ASA (NY) College) (Indian Hills)
76 Nkansah, Elijah OL 6-6 295 So. Mason, OH (Mason)
74 Norton, Storm OL 6-8 310 Jr. Toledo, OH (Whitmer)
68 Perschon, Paul OL 6-6 310 Jr. Schaumburg, IL (Conant)
73 Pfeiffer, Alex OL 6-5 292 So. Cincinnati, OH (Anderson)
53 Weber, Bill OL 6-4 325 So. Coppell, TX (Coppell)
We have 4 guys at or over 320, pretty amazing. Let's hope they are also in good shape too and ready to pitch in.
I would think these three guys are in the starting lineup, but I really have no idea on who else, or even if I am correct about these three:
Nkansah, Elijah
Norton, Storm
Perschon, Paul
What do you guys know or think? Who will likely be the center?
Thanks!

Also Carter, the FSU transfer who likely has a good chance to start.
Also, Ebert has been transitioned to OL, and was #1 on the spring depth chart at RT.

Wish Amstutz was coach. Love to see the short punt snap to 6'8", 360# Bell!

Actually Kulon at 6'4" 265 lbs is the FB/Blocking Back.

Was it Jeppeson that broke his leg on special teams last year? Any word on his condition?

Yeah, good call. That was Jeppesen against Missouri. He must be doing well if he is listed as the #2 center on Boca's listing. Let's hope at least!

I fully expect to see Atariwa and Harris getting a look-see on DL next season since the DL will be senior led this season

Right now, the coaches are looking at all kinds of combinations, so, nothing is really set. We will have to wait till they are about half way thru fall practice.

I would hazard to guess that the OL is "super fluid" and will be till 7 to 10 days into fall camp.

RE: Offensive Line
I personally don't think Perschon, Carter, and Kassem will all be at RG. These are three of our more experienced players (maybe not at UT but globally) and LG is almost virginal as listed above. I expect to see many changes!!!!
