3. Mitch Hyatt

When looking at the offensive line, I see two real veteran leaders. It was tough to pick between Hyatt and Justin Falcinelli.

One may argue that Falcinelli will actually lead more because he is playing that center position.

When I think about Hyatt, though, I really believe the coaching staff is pushing him to be a leader. They selected him to go to the ACC Football Kickoff. They want Hyatt to be a leader and a guy that they can rely upon to talk to the media and be an example to his teammates.

From what I can gather, Mitch isn’t always the most vocal person, but he certainly will be looked up to this season as a leader.
