After a redshirt season, Quenton Nelson is ready to play. Jumping to the head of the line at a crowded (and talented) position, Nelson is taking his five-star pedigree and bringing it to the starting lineup.
Or at least that’s the current plan. But after a spring spent leading the way at left guard, Nelson is in the driver’s seat to start between Ronnie Stanley and Nick Martin, a first-year contributor sandwiched between two of college football’s best at their position. A mauling guard who already possesses the strength of an NFL lineman, we’ll see if there are growing pains at a key position along Harry Hiestand’s offensive line.
