A lot of up tempo spread teams tend to be around 270-290 and a lot of ground and pound tend to go 305-330 ish. Depends on your style of play.


NFL Linemen are fricking massive.


Baylor is an up tempo team but our starting OLine averaged 313 pounds this season. This doesn't even account for the 390lb backup G we have.

LSU returns three starters if I remember correctly.

I played at Oxford High and Ocean Springs, both in Mississippi. Our offensive line was "undersized" to what are now in college and pros. 300 was pretty big. I think for the most versatile dual OLine in college you should have around 300-320. Right tackles should be bigger than most and Left tackles probably around the same. Depends on scheme for interior.
