Would have thought Big O would have been viewed higher than some of these other guys?

Squirrel had his biggest game against Bama, so I think he could go next level.
Jackson Ross got better every game. I want to see what he can get done and I want to see all that dangerous athletic ability commentators mentioned all season.

I wish we had those OLine knee hinge braces like Cooper Mays when I played in HS. I was LT on a bad HS team and we played several teams with DLinemen who played in the SEC. My knees took a lot of punishment I feel more every year.

Should be but he's a 1 tech DT so he doesn't get all of the stats to gain recognition

Glad Norman-Lott stuck around. I thought I read he was looking elsewhere.

I like Campbell as an AA at right tackle.

I think Sampson has AA potential too. Same with Big O.

Respectfully I hope we see very few of the punter… I do agree squirrel is due for a really big year…

The other day I re-watched our bowl game vs. Iowa, and I noticed for the first time the explosive burst of West as he made multiple good plays.

Good for them!

And yet, Nico will be our best player and it won’t be close. Should be fun!

If only we could teach our offensive lineman to drive block like this, the running game would be utterly unstoppable:
