What are the chances Hawkins and Alexander return?

I hope Alexander returns. That's all I'll say.

We need both to return. I doubt either do.

No idea... But I would think that Pocic, Boutte, Malone, and Dodd would have first crack at starting. Obviously is Hawkins or Vadal stays they will be in there as well.

Does anyone see Pocic taking over at LT next year. He looks like a stereotypical tackle. Only reason I say no is because he is normally our pulling guard. Kid has good wheels for a big ole country white boy.

Depends on who comes back. Hawkins May stay if he gets moved to LT. Like Poicic at RG but he could probably play either of the tackle positions. Unfortunately Alexander is probably gone. What about Jonah Austin? Can we expect anything out if him?

Maybe not LT if Hawkins comes back, but yes Pocic will be an OT.... Pocic was recruited as an OT. It's what he played in high school and its what he will play in the future. We kinda have a pattern doing that. Collins played OG his sophomore year, but everyone knew he would bump outside to OT later on.

When we have a young OLman that is really good early on, like Collins and Pocic, we have them take reps at multiple spots so they can get on the field faster, learn each position which helps when they are older when it comes to making checks and knowing what everyone is doing, and they find out what it's like to play in the SEC and know what to improve on.

its amazing how it seems draft eligible starter at lsu is likely to turn pro early these days.

if we got guys leaving early,

LT Pocic
LG Boutte
C Dodd
RG Brumfield
RT Domond

Very inexperienced OL, but I think the newer blocking scheme would aid them a lot better.

Hopefully Hawkins and Vadal do stay though.

Malone is gonna be starting next year somewhere... He's been getting better and better. Les has even said he's good enough to play right now and has earned it. But just behind a lot of seasoned vets.

Sounds like Malone is ahead of Brumfield and is right there with Boutte. Hes been playing OT this year but can play OG if need be.

Sounds like he's really been impressing everyone.

I wouldn't be surprised to see one of the incoming true freshman capture a spot at either tackle or guard.
