To round out the offensive side of the ball, today’s piece will be all about the offensive line. If you missed the previous installments, here are pieces on the QBs, RBs, and WR/TE. Often the most overlooked position group, the offensive line is really the most integral part to the success of an offense. They can’t rack up flashy stats, but every single play depends on all five members to do their job perfectly. It’s a thankless task, but today I plan to give them some extra attention.
With Jonah Williams, Ross Pierschbacher, and Lester Cotton all moving on from the Tide’s starting lineup from 2018, the five new freshman will all have as good a shot as any at carving out a starting role in their rookie season.
