I think even the coaches likely believe he's better suited for the OL. Problem is the same as Turner and Dellinger it seems. Not good enough. The latter 2 shouldn't feel good about their futures here unless drastic improvement happens. Both are being publicly recruited over.

What are you talking about? The situations between Turner and Delly aren’t even close. The only thing that’s held Delly back is injuries. He’s really a Guard and just an emergency Center at this point since Martinez has shown he can snap the ball consistently and handle starting and playing major minutes. If he’s healthy, then he’s either starting or 1st off the bench at either Guard spot.

West played well enough in the bowl game to show he has promise as a DL. We are likely going to lose a ton of production from the DL after this coming season, so I still think West will be there for depth in 23 and ready to slide in and compete for more time in 24.
