With Pocic coming back and losing Hawkings, share your thoughts on the 2016 offensive line. I think we could be as good or better than last season. I know Pocic will likely slide to tackle but has anyone on staff confirmed this? And if so, who takes over at center?

If Clapp can play center, I really like this, either Brumfield or Weathersby at RG

LT Pocic
LG Teuhema
C Clapp
RG Weathersby\Brumfield
RT KJ Malone/Chidi/Domond

Think Pocic, Teuhema, Clapp are set. There will be great competition for RG & RT. Grimes has done a great job of stacking the OL w/ young talent. This fall our O line will be the most talent\deepest LSU has ever had. Our line will be set for years to come when the Freshman arrive

From last years performance and playing time: Pocic, Clapp, Teuhema, and Weathersby will all start somewhere on the OL. I hope Valentine is the most talented, but I like to see someone play before I predict anything. If Valentine is the most talented over Malone, Boutte, Dodd, Brumfield, Magee, Brown, and the new guys this year, he will play.

My hope is that at least seven and hopefully more are solid SEC OL players.

C.O.V. will be great but not sure if he's ready by this fall. Don't think Teuhema ever has agility for tackle. I did not enjoy Vadal playing out of position.

Think next year Pocic, Teuhema, Clapp, Weathersby, Domond, C.O.V, Malone, Brumfield, Boutte, and Dodd would all be able to hold their own

If they let Vadal play tackle because he came back, they're definitely not going to keep Pocic from playing the position that's most natural for him.

Think Pocic is a solid OL, but when he faces a more compact NT he has trouble because of leverage.

I think he'll be a solid NFL player at Tackle or Guard....better for all involved to have Clapp,
brumfeld or dodd at C.

LT-Valentine-okeke
LG-teheuma
C-pocic
RG- clapp
RT- weathersby

Brumfield will be first up or when we bring in an extra o lineman.
Clapp is staying at RG. He is a future all American at RG
Pocic is going to remain at C.

RT - Teuhema



I kinda like this idea. He definitely has the size and speed to play RT. Remember when Alexander started out at G? Okeke will really have to show a lot to get into the starting lineup after redshirting. He has the size for sure. I think which ever it will be this line will end up being really really good

Teuhema is a natural Guard just like Vadal was/is.. Vadal was forced to start at RT as a freshmen because of injuries and lack of depth. Depth is a non factor now that we have Grimes running the show. The only reason Vadal played RT this season was because the staff promised it to him in order to get him to come back. I almost feel as confident that Teuhema will be at LG next season as I do that Pocic will be at LT.... Anyone who thinks a 3 year starter in Pocic came back for his senior season to play center again is smoking dope!

The biggest question mark is who will play center... If Clapp is able to play there he'll be the starter. The reason I say that is because they want their 5 best OL on the field at once. That would open up RG and I believe Weathersby holds that spot right now... You look back at this past season and you saw more and more of him and less of Boutte. I've also heard from multiple people that Okeke is the most talented/athletic OL on the roster! He'll be your starter at RT next season if he's learned the playbook and his eligibility is cleared.
