Now that we have an elite QB, a very talented, experienced backfield and talent at WR, how's the OL going to be next season?

Darius James at T
Braden Smith at G
Austin Golson at C

All returning. We have a good group coming up to fill the other two spots. Marquell Harrell, Mike Horton, Tyler Carr, Bailey Sharp, possibly a freshman with 5 star Calvin Ashley. Prince Tega is a converted DE so we'll have to see how he does.

So we are confident Smith is coming back?

It didn't really cross my mind about him going pro but I just read something saying he's a 4th rounder right now.

If that's the case I would imagine he comes back but you never know

I think Tega wins the RT spot with Horton or Harrell locking down the LG spot.

Did Kozan not apply for a medical RS what would've been his Sophomore year?

He's graduated and been here 5 years... He's moving on.

Kozan has said before that this would be his last year.

Does Braden move to LT? If not him, then who?

I expect Horton to win a spot somewhere and after that, I have no idea. Prince? Calvin? In any case, it will take a few games for our new line to gel.

I say play the Prince's at the tackle spots and move James to LG. That would be easy to sell to the masses when our O gets so much publicity next season.

Luckily the schedule starts:
Georgia Southern (home)
Clemson
Mercer (home)
Missouri
Ms State (home)

Not sure how Clemson will be next season, but we could very well win all 5 of those games and should provide the OL time to gel.

Horton seems like a lock for Kozan spot as he was the 6th OL this season. Tackle spot will be wide open. Could move Golson out there or any number of OL we signed could start. Both Princes getting lots of hype. Ashley could push but being a fall enrollee will make it tough

Overall OL should be solid next season
