I am confused about who is available for next year's O line. Redshirts from this year, returning starters, freshmen coming in? Little help please!

Well this year we had this:

LT: Swindle
LG: Haynes / West
C: Toth
RG: Meyers / Mosier
RT: Meadows / George AA

We return everyone except Swindle and West. We also have LaRubbio, Stallings, Baumer, Greenberg, and Myers that we redshirt freshmen or older. Redshirting we had Stenberg, Taylor, and Wolfe. We add Juco left tackle Leavitt plus freshmen tackle Young, center Jackson, and center Fortner.

Who starts is up for debate. I think it should ideally look like this:

LT: Leavitt
LG: George AA
C: Toth
RG: Meyers
RT: Meadows

Redshirt the freshmen. Probably can't, but try to. The three that redshirted last year all project to be tackles so we should have depth there. George AA should be bets suited as a guard. Meadows needs to improve though. Still,looks to be a solid future for the group.

I think we will have to wait and see what the new OC brings to the table as far as scheme goes. The new offense may have different requirements from the OL that will allow them to perform differently and better we hope. For example, the linemen may not need to hold their blocks for as long because the QB will be taught to get the ball out. That was repeatedly discussed during the Ole Miss game last night and I hope we do see more of that.
