That’s what I was thinking. Heckel drops back to second team. Should be a very solid line.

Pugh, Chibane, Macky, Trudo and Hickey were excellent... Conway, Roberts, Servais, Adams and Martin will be better. The 12 Oline allowed that offense to flourish, I hope the 18 does the same and more.

He started for Texas A+M...tells me he should be a starter on the OL here...or at worst a very high quality backup.
I assume he'll need to get cleared medically.

Yeah this is cool news, but I have no idea how good he actually is.

Ohhhh BOY!!!! Awesome. You can't win, without winning the line of scrimmage. To h**l with all of you, that hate meathead football. As long as he doesn't displace Conway/Servais I'm fine... Our line just got better. That means Dungy just got better. Only 12, non true frosh available, on the line. We NEEDED this. Very excited.

A great addition. This must have been a recent decision. Did he go through spring ball with A&M? If he was transferring, wouldn't he sit out spring ball as to not get hurt? Or, did I read somewhere that he was injured and did not play spring ball this year?

He was practicing with the A&M team, experienced heat stroke and was hospitalized.
Former Manvel standout Koda Martin exiting Texas A&M for Syracuse
Koda Martin recently was in the news after suffering a heat stroke late in one of the Aggies' spring practices earlier this month under new coach Jimbo Fisher.
Koda spent a few days in a College Station hospital after what his dad described as kidney failure from the heat stroke. Kirk Martin told the Chronicle he did not blame A&M at all for the heat stroke, it's just that his son doesn't know when to let up and gave out after taking part in about 40 consecutive plays and then running seven gassers – a sprint from sideline to sideline and then back.

So, this might have been a recent decision if he was participating in spring ball with A&M. Doesn't matter, a quality O lineman. Glad he's coming to play for La Familia, both literally and figuratively.
This is very good news. The rotations and keeping people fresh will also be huge. The 2 lines on O and D are the best combined I've seen for a while on the hill.
With this, the running game will take off and force LB's to play in and open up the passing game to the inexperienced WR's. Add to that the threat of ED taking off and these WR's could not ask for a better situation.

Why? He started all his games in the SEC last year. My guess is that he’ll start here and anytime you can grab a starting OL - he’s good.

100%. Throw in a very capable backup to ED and at a few important positions - getting some of the traditionally tougher games more spread out?
It’s going to be a fun season. At the very least - we will compete with a real chance to win in every game we play.

Waiting for the, "What's the over/under on when Tucker medically DQ's him?" bit. Let's not go there please. Have to think it'll take Martin at least a little bit of time to adjust and learn a different scheme. My prediction is that he winds up starting, somehow, by injury or out-performance, once the meat of conference play starts.

Wait, all last year we heard how servais didn’t grade well, and was playing out of position. We just heard in the spring game report that he was a monster at RT. But we’re going to put him back at C? Don’t we have a real center somewhere in the entire roster?
