Rogers will give us three 5th year seniors to anchor the line next season. That is on par with anyone in the conference. If Foster can step in we should have a better than average OL. A lot will depend on how quickly the two transfers can get here and pick up the scheme.

Im getting good feeling about this offense this year. Last year they were so explosive compared to past years, imagine what that offense can do with an experienced line.

He certainly could play Center no doubt but it wouldnt surprise me to see JGJ at Center and Dawson/Rodgers at the guards. You don't have to be overly massive to play Center..you just need to snap ball well and be really smart with lining up the Oline. It certainly is going to help that Khalil has plenty of starting Center experience at USC no doubt..its nice to go into season with flexibility..

This was an absolutely huge get and for the 2017 season the most important get of this class IMO.

Last year we started the first 2 games with 3 Olinemen without having one single snap of P5 football experience...not one. And it showed those first 2 games..

This year every starting Olineman will have experience. Starting season off well is so critical and landing Dawson and Rodgers really is huge.
