O-Line Projections

[UofDuck]

I’m struggling to get a sense of how the parts and pieces of our new o-line coming together will perform. Lots anxiety over this group because I’m not very plugged in on this topic. It feels like the acquired talent should be there, but will it come together quick enough.

Anybody have some insights, or even logical optimism they can share?

The five best are (in order of 2024 performance, not projected performance) Emmanuel Pregnon, Poncho, World, Harkey, and Bedford (didn't play). So that's your starting 5, with World and Pregnon on the left and Bedford and Harkey on the right.

How good World and Harkey turn out to be is question #1. Question #2 is what happens if anyone goes down, because there isn't much proven after them, and the spring game wasn't kind to many of the young guys. The first three fillers, I think, are Gernorris Wilson (guard or tackle), Kawika Rogers (guard), and Charlie Picard (center). Dave Iuli might be there, too, but he has looked bad. It's another big step down after those, so tackle depth is especially thin.

What happened to the OLine? I think it was overall the weakest unit last season, it seems the OLine has progressively gotten worse the last few seasons. Hopefully that changes with the recruiting classes coming in.

They were a finalist for the Joe Moore award last season and the one before IIRC

Ziyare Addison is the one Fr Tackle I'll be interested in watching/hearing about because I think its probably him and Wilson as the backup Tackles.

Our OLine looked alright last year mid-season. But towards the end of the season, they seemed to get progressively worse or they just didnt improve, as our opponents improved?

They started terribly, did well through the middle of the season, and was fine toward the end of the year. Being a Moore finalist was sort of a function of no one's group standing out across the country. They should have won the damn thing the year before.
