3. Gage Cervenka

Gage Cervenka is going to be replacing Justin Falcinelli at that starting center position in 2019.

Cervenka is a talented offensive lineman with a ton of experience under his belt. He will be relied upon more than he ever has been this year.

Filling that center position is going to be important for the Tigers in 2019. Cervenka must step up in leadership and continue to improve over the offseason to create chemistry on that offensive line.
