Anyone else concerned about our depth at OT? Here's what we have:

Sr: Price, Finnin, Sterup, Lewis

Jr:----

Soph: Knevel

RsFr: Gates...but has been rumored looks better at Center

Fr: Gaylord

To me that spells huge trouble after 2015. Appears we will have to go after couple JUCO's in 2016.

 
Yikes.

Sometimes I'm happy to be no longer as familiar with the roster as I used to be.

 
Soph Dwayne Johnson originally came in as a tackle - not sure if he's been moved.

Gotta think Gates goes back outside, especially with four freshmen guards this fall (RS and true).

Good catch. According to his bio as of Fall 2014 he was still at OT.

Hannon also came in as an OT...but has been moved inside.

We are in on some pretty decent guys for next year, correct?

JUCO is a solid option to get someone with some collegiate experience.

We have two four-star OLinemen committed for next year but they are both guards. We are sitting good with a four-star tackle but it's a long time to NSD.

With a bigger class next year and losing six OLinemen, I would think a JUCO OT would be a great option.

 
That's great your up for the position!! Makes me feel so much better. But seriously it seems like our line has suffered trying to find OT's and the ones we get move inside. I know its a harder spot to find but do we really have to have guys over 6'5" to be able to play tackle. Why not just take the kid who can move the best and groom him for the spot?
