Our starting Offensive Line (IMO):

LT- Tate Leavitt
LG- Nick Haynes
C- Jon Toth
RG- George Asafo-Adjei
RT- Kyle Meadows

Backups: Fuster Cluck

Discuss.

P.S. Which linemen do we still have on the team and which ones do we not? I can't figure out which linemen we lost for whatever reasons and the rosters I've seen don't seem accurate.

Edit: If Eddie Gran stays true to his philosophy at previous stops, UK will call quick-hitters and pull linemen/move the pocket more to protect the QB better. This should help the line's overall numbers.

Stallings will back up Toth and drake will rs. I do think young will have to play if not start.i like larubbio and hope he can get some reps behind Haynes or push him for a start.

I hope and pray sombody can beat out Meadows next year. I would like to see what Stenberg is made of at rt. Stenberg and leavitt would be beasts in the run game.

I would wager Ramsey Meyers is ahead of Nick Haynes at one of the guard spots. But other than that...looks like a solid idea of OL unit.

I don't see Drake Jackson playing next year...with Toth back and Stallings as a soild backup...I think they'll try to RS Drake. Young...I have no idea what will happen to him.

See, I thought we lost Stallings and LaRubbio.

LaRubbio had so much hype and I think we lost like 2-3 linemen right before the season and when I never heard of him after that, I just thought he had disappeared.

No the two OL we lost were Richardson and Krok. Both OT.

I believe Larubbio had an injury. Stenberg was on the travel squad late in the season.

And actually Stallings is at Guard right now but could play center. Zach Myers was backing up Toth last year.

Thank you. I did research and found Krok but couldn't find the others. Richardson... I think there was also some mess with Marcelys Jones.

Thanks for the clarification. OT depth would be really nice next season.

Who looks to be our Tackle backups? Young strikes me as one. Mosier has played the position a bit. Do we have any other true OT types on the roster besides Meadows, Leavitt, and Young?

No we dont have any other true Tackles. Thats what worries me. I kind of wish the staff would go for another Juco so Young can RS. Maybe go after Malcolm Pridgeon.

Even so,he doesn't fix the OT issue. Think we need Young to beat out Meadows to see much improvement, but I hate the idea.

Well, do we go hard after another tackle in this class and then go JUCO next season along with recruiting '17 high school OT's? All these guards/centers are nice, but at some point, we need good tackles- especially against SEC ends.

LT- Tate Leavitt/Landon Young
LG- Nick Haynes/Bunchy Stallings
C- Jon Toth/Zack Myers
RG- GAA/Ramsey Meyers
RT- Kyle Meadows/Cole Mosier

I would like to see Young ready enough to start because he has the perfect skill set for LT. This would allow Leavitt to move to RT and be a bull in the run game on the right side with GAA. If Marcelys Jones is back on the team then he will be 1st team LG.

Well, that could be big, hadn't heard anything about that before though. Seems like a lot of good prospects throw away a promising future.

I'm only hoping for Jones to get back on team from a talent standpoint. He has unbelievable upside, but he's made some bad decisions.

Would Marcelys Jones start immediately? Is he that good?

If he really is back on the team. Just seems too good to be true and no smoke that I can find. Doesn't mean it's not true, but I'm tempering excitement.

If Jones is back on the team he is a day 1 starter without question. Probably the best player on the O Line as well. Kid was highly touted out of HS and would've started for Ohio State had he not gotten kicked off of the team.

All these guys should be better so if a guy gets beat out that's awesome. Just wish krok was still here.

I'm skeptical on Jones coming back. Hope it's true and he has changed his habits but...

I wish we could find a 5th year transfer for RT. I'd be looking at mac level schools to see if we can find a guy that is borderline on nfl radar.
