Offensive linemen
Even with the loss of three starters, there doesn’t appear to be much concern in Lawrence about the Jayhawks’ trench warriors. Jeremiah Hatch, a tackle last season, should be one of the league’s best centers in 2009. Right tackle Jeff Spikes, a 6'6", 314-pound sophomore, is one of the Big 12’s top young linemen. He struggled a bit early last fall but worked out the kinks by the end of his freshman season. Kansas is incredibly inexperienced at the other three positions. Not only is left tackle Tanner Hawkinson a redshirt freshman, but the former tight end is playing the position for the first time. Left guard John Williams is a redshirt freshman, and junior right guard Sal Capra is a first-year starter.
