An experienced offensive line looks to shine this season, as the defensive line continues to build and get healthy in preparation for 2019

Idaho’s men in the trenches — offensive and defensive lineman — were in the spotlight in the third week of spring football.
During the last couple seasons, the offensive line has seen some ups and downs and now looks to add consistency in their play and while building leadership.

Head Coach Paul Petrino said there are multiple standouts on the offensive line — All-American senior Noah Johnson is continuing to grow into his leadership role, while redshirt junior Conner Vrba and sophomore Matthew Faupusa have been playing their best football as Vandals over the last couple weeks.

As the team is able to execute more downfield plays with the improved line play, Johnson said he is confident this group could be the best the program has seen since 2016.
