Oline in 2022

[gtapp]

I know we still have football in front of us this year but I am curious how the people close to the program see our Oline next year. We seemed to have taken a step back this year having lost 2 excellent players from the 2019 team. Now we will be losing 2 more 4 year starters. Can the Oline actually improve next year or do we have a year or two of growing pains at that position?

I wouldn't say I'm "close to the program" but my stab is:

LT: Rush Reimer / Jacob Kettles
LG: Zach Redd
C: Justus Perkins
RG: Cole Sain / Joe McElroy
RT: TJ Sessions

Young group - and I wouldn't be shocked to see MSU hit the transfer market.

Absolutely will seek out at least two players, maybe three to add depth at a minimum and compete for starting spots. Vigen isn't going to take any chances and risk having an OL that is a liability.

What happened to JT Reed again?

What happened to JT Reed again?

Transferred to JUCO in California - maybe wanted to be closer to home - too bad lots of potential. I think he would've been the #2 LG on the roster (Right now Holden Sampson holds that spot I think)

I do think this group is a great start, but I think augmenting via the portal will happen. Loosing Tua & Lewis in the same year.....ouch.

The 2019 OL didn’t sustain any significant injuries. Continuity is the key. MSU has good linemen coming up. It’s just a matter of getting them cohesive. Keep in mind Wood transferred in June, 2021. MSU did pretty well all year despite injury to Sain, up until Session got hurt.

Good core group with Session, Perkins, Reimer, Redd. Kettles by all accounts is very good.

Pretty sure he was going to be the starting LT when Wood left - but then got an injury. Hopefully, all healed

Sure wouldn't mind Dylan Rollins missing home and coming to MSU

I wouldn't be surprised to see a couple of transfer O-linman, a D-lineman or two and a linebacker.

Is Rollins going on a mission?

I would just second this.

Glad we got a guy with an NDSU background and Choate was the same way, and they both know that in order to be successful program year in year out is to have not only good o and d lines but good depth as well…then have players with elite speed on both sides of the ball, then get good play from the qb spot.

[GrizgradCatFan]

I haven't seen any recruits yet that have made me go yeah this guy is going to keep us reloaded in the locker room. We will see it will be tough to fill Choates shoes as he had some contacts that also helped. I don't see many drop downs from Wyoming coming to Bozeman

I think the former OC at NDSU knows a little about O-Lineman.

How about Taco Dowler and the dru polidore...?

I could see these 2 being immediate contributors next season, maybe even starters.

Can’t say that I think Taco would make the best O lineman.

If Rollins entered the portal, we better do anything and everything to get him to come to Bozeman. He would have been a 4 year starter after redshirting a year had he picked MSU. Kid is a stud.

[Hawks86]

Probably be a 2 year wait. He hasn't went on his mission yet.
