To start off, we lost our starting tackles in Moore and Ghirmai. Here are the main guys I see returning-
Tr. Pullen- Jr
Thielen- Sr
Yanta- Jr
Hatten- Sr
Kinney- Soph
Car. Walker- Jr
Sakiri- Jr
Fogle- Soph
Howerton- Jr
J. Johnson- RFr
Lynch- RFr
Ivey- RFr
Team returns 3 starters and Pullen who filled in when Ghirmai went down with an injury. Will this be the year that Howerton sees the field more? Not fair to him, but knowing his brother was an All-Conference player at SMU, I expected he would be a starter by now. I am hoping that Kinney and Fogle take the next step, as they very much look the part of an OL. I was hoping we would see more from Walker, but he appeared to struggle in camp. Lots of depth, but feels like we need to add an experienced FCS or drop down OT or 2.
Overall, I am giving this position group an incomplete. I think we will see 1-2 guys added before fall camp breaks. Again, I like the overall depth, but need a bit more in my opinion.
