re: Where is Z. Heard by week 4, who takes a seat on the bench to make room for him?

I think he gets a lot of playing time being rotated in but with the entire offensive line coming back I don't see him starting.

If he were an early enrollee then I would be willing to give him a chance at starting but I don't see us moving Jones to Guard in the spring with him not on the roster yet. I think he plays tackle and Emory slides to guard and dominates inside eventually but I don't think it happens during the season. I think that happens in 2024.

Unless the Coaches want to slide Frazier to Tackle and have Heard rotate with Frazier at tackle to start the year with Heard eventually taking over the position. But Frazier is better suited at Guard so I'm not too sure that happens.

I think Heard will be the 6th offensive lineman and will rotate in a bunch and get significant playing time to help develop and prepare him for 2024 but not sure he starts as a True Freshman.
