I really like this years and last years lineman haul. If Richmond comes comes around I like the bookends. Tatum and Johnson will compete big time.

I think this kid is gonna be an outstanding player for us but assuming he'll start from day one is likely a stretch and unrealistic expectation. Let's let him come in and develop behind some guys heading into their 3rd and 4th years in the program. If he can start then great, if not, no worries.

OL should be strongest unit on the team this year. This is a good thing for breaking in a new qb.

Deplorable! hmy:

Anyone think Trey could take the LT position this season? I wonder if they'd move Richmond over to RT and put Trey in there as a true freshman?

Idk...I just remember Michael Munoz starting as a true freshman and as good as he was he struggled a little as a true freshman. It is without a doubt the hardest position to start as a freshman....even QB....Michael probably would have been a true NFL legend like dad had the injuries not piled up but man he showed a lot of heart...I think Trey can be as great as he wants to be though I just don't expect it as a true freshman....
