#11 would be either Tyler Miller or Ross. Campbell spoke highly of Miller after spring ball.


These are guys whose names I hardly recognize. I like being a program that has "starting caliber" linemen that aren't even on most people's radar. Depth is good.

I mean there’s a difference between Big12 players, and Big12 starters. I think we have at least 7 Big12 starters, and that’s not saying they are all first team all Big12. But I think we have at least 7 OL who could at least start at some of our opponents teams this year.

Well, Campbell clearly disagrees with you, because he said he thought he had 11 OLs capable of starting.

Just put the exact quote in the thread:

“…I’d say there’s there’s eleven guys I feel really comfortable with that could or have the ability to start on our football team.”

Call that “coach speak” if you like, but I’m going to say CMC was trying very hard to be very precise in what he’s saying.

Then he concludes with, “We’re really excited about some of the young guys I’m not adding into that group yet.”

Starting at about the 22:45 mark.

Curious if anyone has a prediction for the starting 5 OL

I think we rotate more guys than usual but after reading the 247 Sports article I'm going with this

LT - Foster
LG - Downing
C - Newell
RG - Simmons
RT - Schweiger

From what I’ve gathered listening to the coaches, there’s way too much going on in the OL room right now to pick a starting five for the start of the season.

But I’ll take a shot at the starting five at the end of the season.

LT Treiber
G Downing
C Newell
G Simmons
RT Remsburg

(IMO, Downing and Simmons could flip sides)
