Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 211637, member: 27"] I would include Hickey and Phillips as candidates for playing time as well. Hickey tore his ACL in early August. My guess is that he will participate in spring football drills. but might be held out of some of all contact work. He has a lot of talent. Can he stay healthy? Phillips has a lot of experience. Looks to me like he doesn't have great natural strength but he is agile and works hard. I think he will be in the mix for both open positions on the line. We know Trudo will miss spring practice with his injury. That hurts his chances. I believe he worked at center almost exclusively last season, further handicapping him in the race for a starting position at guard. He is a smart kid and he does have a lot of talent, so maybe he can overcome this. But he is at a major disadvantage over some of the other candidates. [/QUOTE]
