2. Offensive Line

The offensive line has two current openings at starting positions heading into 2019.

Currently, the Tigers return RT TreMayne Anchrum, LG John Simpson and RG Gage Cervenka or Sean Pollard, as both guys split time at the position last year.

Cervenka is expected to slide over to center and fill Justin Falcinelli’s spot and sophomore Jackson Carman will get the first crack at left tackle with Mitch Hyatt gone. Anchrum could potentially move over to left tackle if needed, as well.

You’ll also have some competition as guys like Chandler Reeves, Blake Vinson and Cade Stewart attempt to battle for those starting spots.
