I feel confident Alexander is starting at one of the tackle positions.  I don’t think Dino would take a grad transfer unless he considered him a lock to start.

Adams has to be considered a lock at start at RG.  He has even made some all conference teams.

Heckel has experience and very good athletic ability.  He is starting somewhere.

And of course Servais is starting somewhere.  But where?  And why did he lose so much weight?  Does that play into the position he is playing in the fall?

I think it does.  I think he expects to play tackle and wants maximum mobility in that role.  So I am leaning towards him playing at LT with Alexander at RT.  That means Heckel is the C.

That leaves the LG spot open.  By all accounts, Dakota Davis had a strong spring and I think has positioned himself well to win it.  That kid can block and is strong as a bull.

The wild card here is Tisdale.  Dino says he won’t take a JUCO transfer unless he thinks they can start.  But there are a bunch of examples where we have taken JUCO transfers and they didn’t start their first year with the program.  If he graduated early and was able to enroll for the spring 2019 semester, I might have picked him to start but I think it is really tough to pick up the offense in so little time.  I like him a lot and think he will start next year but I think this year is his time to acclimate himself to P5 football and the SU scheme.
