Offensive Line

Left Tackle

1. Blake Freeland
2. Harris LaChance

Left Guard

1. Clark Barrington
2. Seth Willis

Center

1. Connor Pay
2. Joe Tukuafu

Right Guard

1. Joe Tukuafu
2. Campbell Barrington

Right Tackle

1. Kingsley Suamataia

2. Harris LaChance

Of all the positions on the field, this group is undoubtingly the strongest, literally and experience wise. With James Empey being the only major contributor from last year’s team and the addition of five star right tackle Kinglsey Suamataia, this group probably had Tyler Allgeier at least thinking about coming back another year.

Even Connor Pay who will be replacing Empey as the full time center saw major playing time, starting in five games and getting major playing time in twelve games.

Last year’s group ranked in the top 20 nationally and was 10th in power run success and 16th in sacks allowed. This offensive line with more training and lifting could realistically be a top ten line in 2021.
