Fitzgerald West is your Center

There seems to be a lot of confusion on this position. This is the position and need he was recruited for.

He probably isnt starting there as a true freshman

He was unbeatable at the LSU camp. He's a d-o-g-g. Dog

Kelly ain’t done with the portal yet. Let’s wait and see.

No way West is your starting center next year. Hopefully he can develop into a good one.

We need more quality oline depth regardless

Van Pran started for Georgia as a true freshman center and has done a good job so it is possible

We need a legit center out of the portal
Let West develop for a year or so

I don’t know if he’s ready or not. I do know the guy is built like a tree trunk and has been hitting above his weight since 8th grade. Solid work ethic and attitude. He will be a good one, whenever that may be.

Didn't Hines play center against Georgia in 2018 or was he playing guard?
Posted on 12/16/21 at 2:32 pm to Sweezy
Did someone call that D-O-Double G?!?!

If he's ready he could win position at C
I think Martinez likely gets first shot at it
Anyone should be an improvement over Shanahan who routinely got blown up

Did Wilkerson start as a freshman? I can’t recall.

He did but not from game 1. He started game 5 and never let it go.

A high school Defensive Lineman that's never played Center before is gonna come right into the SEC/LSU and start at the hardest OL position, (That makes all the OL calls) while being physically and mentally ready to go based on just one Fall camp.
Yeah, right.
Anybody that believes this will happen is not playing with a full deck; playing with a bunch of Purple and Gold Pom Poms more likely.
Here's a novel idea. How about recruiting a legitimate Center that played at a large high school that ran a passing Offense or get a transfer from a BIG BOY football University that throws the ball a lot.
BTW, I distinctly remember Fitzgerald West being quoted as saying during the early recruiting process that he didn't want to play Center and snap the football.

Starting center will be from the portal
Posted on 12/16/21 at 2:59 pm to Sweezy
He doesn’t look built enough to start just yet. I’m sure after a year or two will be plenty of time

Idk with Kelly's track record...
Quenton Nelson and Liam Eichenberg didn't play a snap their freshman years at ND.
We might be in a different situation here though, with all the talent being underclassmen.
