Do the Hokies have a new starting left tackle? Well, if we are to go by what’s actually happening on the field this spring, then, yes, we do.
Redshirt freshman Silas Dzansi has been working at left tackle throughout the spring and if that sounds surprising, it is. Senior Yosuah Nijman has started at left tackle the last two years and held down the position well. While Nijman wasn’t first-team All-ACC, he was solid and continued to improve. So, to see him moving over to the right side is a bit of a shock because if there was one position on the offensive line we thought was settled heading into spring, it was left tackle.
