No position on the roster was depleted the way that center was at Mississippi State.
The Bulldogs lost all three players that snapped during games last year when Dillon Day, Archie Muniz and Ben Beckwith all graduated.
Offensive line coach John Hevesy was charged with the task of finding a replacement during bowl prep and spring drills. No matter who ends up emerging as the starter this fall, MSU will run a player out on the field that has never snapped in college.
The leading candidate for the job is junior Jamaal Clayborn.
