BYU football: Predicting the Cougars’ offensive depth chart

Offensive Line

Starters (from left tackle to right tackle): Ului Lapuaho, Keyan Norman, Tejan Koroma, Tuni Kanuch, Thomas Shoaf

Backups/In The Mix: Kieffer Longson, JJ Nwige, Austin Hoyt, Austin Chambers

It didn’t take long for o-line coach Mike Empey (and strength and conditioning coach Nu’u Tafisi) to revamp the offensive line in Provo. BYU football was once known for having big, nasty bruisers up front, but Bronco Mendenhall and Robert Anae preferred slimmer linemen for the go-fast-go-hard offense.

Now they’re back to being massive. Each of the guys in the projected two-deep depth chart plays with a mean streak. They shouldn’t have any trouble holding and maintaining blocks.
