Offensive Lineman Recruiting --- Analysis,Projections and Outlook with recruits

Obviously our staff wanted C-Rob, but honestly, he has a better chance to step in at bama for Cyrus and play early. Not that I think that had anything to do with it b.c. the talented ones will play and play early (see la'el, turner, hawkins, and pocic for us)

I didn't realize our depth here

*** Assuming La'el goes pro and we get kelly

My projections as follows:

Left Tackle -- 1a. Pocic 1b. Hawkins 2. Washington 3. Kelly

Left Guard -- 1a. Vadal, 1b Boutte 2. Jonah Austin 3. Brumfield or clapp

Center -- 1a. Porter 1b Pocic (assuming he doesnt take the LT spot) 2. Malone 3. Dodd

Right Guard -- Trai turner 2a. Dodd 2b Fehoko 3. Brum or Clapp

Right Tackle (most interesting battle) - 1a. Hawkins 1b. washington 1c. Edinburg 1d. pocic 2. Jonah Austin 3. Kelly

Next year we will have :
3 Seniors - Fehoko, Porter, Washington
3 Juniors - Vadal, Turner, Austin
4 Sophomores - Boutte, Pocic, Hawkins(RS), Edinburg(RS),
2 Redshirt Freshman - Dodd, Malone
3 True Freshman - Clapp, Brumfield, and Kelly

That's 15 offensive lineman for 5 positions... round way of looking at that is three deep per every position.

Underlined players were incumbent starters. We return 4 of the 5.

I think we'll be alright with a three lineman haul this year!
