In my opinion, offensive line play was a huge part of why we got off to a hot start and was also a big reason why we had struggles down the stretch due to some key injuries. I think we have a pretty good nucleus to the group, but expect it will still be a question mark given the guys we lost. I am expecting good things out of:
Caleb Carter
Derek Simmons
Blake Whitmore
Xavier Graham
We also got some valuable playing time for Aaron Sanez, and Evan Carney is a guy I think who can be a big addition coming off missing all last year due to an injury. I also think Jodan Daniels will be a really good add from the transfer portal. Anybody know much about the other guys? That is 7 names, but you can never have enough depth in the trenches. We'll need to have similar line play to what we had the first 6 or so weeks last year if we have ideas of making the playoffs.

There is a Dodge City transfer coming in for the July workouts. I think he’s like 6’5, 330+. He should be a good add for depth or to compete to start. |

The Dodge City CC guy is Manasseh Ripert. Coaches seemed excited about him |

We are getting up to 9 names in this thread and I really like that. Like I said, you can never have enough depth. Getting through injuries, providing some rest, etc. are things we heard alot about around defense last year but are just as important (if not more) for our o-line.
