That O-line is popping... I can tell you that and affirm it. That will not be a weakness this year. My cousin is about 6'1 290 (sophomore) himself and moved over from defensive line and is a backup. He will start one day as he is very good.

Skill players on offense and defense along with depth at linebacker are the concerns from what I know. A lot of youth will be counted on to produce early.

WM's line play will be exceptional this year on both sides of the ball. I have a theory as to what they will do to maximize Slade and minimize your main offensive concerns. Can't post that here though, sorry.

You a mind reader I see...

My main concerns with Slade moving forward is if he can get the touches outside of being the QB that truly showcases his skill sets.

Since this is a recruiting board and most posters are only interested in recruiting I'll stick with that point. Last year Foust was more than admirable coming in at specific times (Madison Central game and Zachary game come to mind) in which he led them downfield in a minute or two with Slade destroying teams in the slot or in motion out of the backfield. One of the young QB's is going to have to mirror that ability along with a running back who can break tackles and punish the second and third level defenders as the game wears on.

If these things don't come to fruition fans here who don't follow recruiting as closely as we do will see him as regressing when instead he is getting no help.

Sounds like you got that the antidote though.
