Your 2025 Offensive Line

[anomander]

If you think about it, the last 20 years or so. Who was are only starting true frosh o-lineman that was successful? Bergeron? And he didn’t start until a few games into his true frosh season. So it’s very rare for Cuse and Bergeron was a camp find

Kalan Ellis started as a 400lb true freshman OG

I think it's broken into two groups, 10 guys that will form the 2 deep, and then 8 guys that are development. All jokes aside, they have obviously focused on strength and conditioning

Two Deep I think Collins and Spoon are locked in. Battle is for guard and one tackle.

There's no way they just let Washington get fat. I'm leaning that is a legit playing weight, which is insane. With the changes in weight, both up and down, I think they upped the "science" and pegged optimal targets for every player based on frame, cardio, and strength. It seems too systematic to be anything else. Another example of DART.

51​	Austin Collins	OL	6/3	305​	Sr.
55​	Zach Rice	OL	6/6	320​	Jr.
57​	Demtrius Weatherspoon	OL	6/7	320​	Sr.
77​	Kam Pringle	OL	6/8	335​	Rfr
69​	TJ Ferguson	OL	6/4	320​	Sr.
60​	Naquil Betrand	OL	6/6	320​	So
73​	Joshua Miller	OL	6/4	320​	So
75​	Trevion Mack	OL	6/6	320​	So
76​	Byron Washington	OL	6/7	400​	Fr
78​	Joe Cruz	OL	6/5	315​	Jr.

Development guys. Not saying they can't move up, some will probably have to because of injuries. Brown mentioned Hawn specifically as getting himself ready.

50​	Kahlil Stewart	OL	6/4	330​	Fr
64​	Skylar Harvey	OL	6/7	330​	Fr
68​	Vito Shevchenko	OL	6/7	310​	Rfr
70​	Kardiear Shepherd	OL	6/7	310​	Fr
74​	Matthew Hawn	OL	6/6	310​	Fr
79​	Travis Brown-Miller	OL	6/6	330​	Rfr
67​	D'joni Scatliffe	OL	6/7	315​	Fr
71​	Jayden Mann	OL	6/5	315​	Fr

The change in measurables has been remarkable.

If nothing else, this team won't be physically overmatched against anybody they play. The days of getting manhandled are over. It doesn't guarantee anything, look at FSU last year as the case study in that, but at least you aren't starting out with a distinct disadvantage.

Nailed it

Some more notes about potential. Not saying these guys played to their potential at all, but if they can approach it, could be a top 1/3rd line.

Rice had a 97.5 HS rating. 5 star, #1 OL in his class, #21 overall. Have no idea what his issues were/are.

Ferguson, know injuries were an issue last year. 95.4 out of HS, 4 stars, #3 OL, #64 overall. Bama/FSU

Pringle 90.7, 4 star, #18 OL, 269 overall. S. Carolina. Obviously thought SU was a better path to immediate PT. What else?

Miller 88.3, 3 star, #52 OL, 540 overall, UGA, didn’t play here last year. Word is he’s matured, gotten his body right and he’s a different guy. We’ll see.

Bertrand 86.7, 3star, #51 OL, 785 overall, TAM,/Bama, two SEC staffs thought he had potential. Can he reach it here.

And they all have the one thing you can’t coach … size.
