1. Brand new offensive line

Outside of returning LT starter Jackson Carman, the starters along the offensive line will be completely new this season.

Now, don’t think that means the Tigers don’t have any players with experience.

A lot of these guys- including Matt Bockhorst, Cade Stewart, Will Putnam, Jordan McFadden and others- had plenty of snaps last season, but now they’ll be stepping into a new role.

Who will be the center? Can the Tigers find someone that can give consistently clean snaps to Trevor Lawrence? What will the rest of the offensive line look like? Can any of the freshmen step in and compete for reps?

The offensive line will be a point of emphasis throughout spring camp and into the offseason and it will be interesting to see how the competition plays out at the position.
