One things that strikes me is the shear number of scholarships at this position. I'll try breaking this down by recruiting class as much as I can.
We have five seniors on the OL this year, Jake Hurcombe 6'2 285, Matt Thorton 6'4, 302, Darien Terrell 6'4, 317, Andrew Wylie 6'6, 311 and Cole Gardner who at 6'5, 295 has added 20 pounds since last year. This is a veteran unit will many starts under their collective belts.
We have one junior Dan Samuelson a transfer from U of M and former 3 star recruit who is 6'5, 300.
The 2014 class who are now sophomores include Ka'John Armstrong at 6'4, 294 who added about 15 pounds since last year, Jeremy Hickey at 6'4, 312, Chris Bukoski who actually lost weight is at 6'5, 263 and Dakota Tallman at 6'5, 309.
To the sophomore class we can add JUCO transfer Jimmy Leatiota who comes in at 6'3, 298 and practiced over the spring.
There is the 2015 class with Rob Pavletich R-Fr a highly rated recruit who added 13 pounds since last season and is now at 6'5, 290, Brandon Leahey R-Fr at 6'3, 284, "Big Pete" Bergman R-Fr who add about 20 pounds and is now 6'9, 314.
Personally I'm excited about the true freshmen class at this position coming in: Mike Van Hoeven at 6'5, 283, Jake Donnellon at 6'5, 283 and Steve Nielsen at 6'8, 320 who practiced over the spring.
I expect to see some shaking out at this position and the competition this fall should be interesting.
This includes my review for the upcoming season. Hoped everyone enjoyed it.
