SR* - Walker Parks
SR* - Trent Howard
SR* - Walker Parks
SR - Marcus Tate
JR* - Tristan Leigh
JR* - Ryan Linthicum
JR* - Dietrick Pennington
JR - Blake Miller
SO* - Collin Sadler
SO - Harris Sewell
FR* - Ian Reed
FR - Elyjah Thurmon
FR - Ronan O'Connell
FR - Mason Wade
FR - Watson Young
The starting 5 + Sadler will be a solid 6. Sewell and Howard are the only other guys with a lot of game experience. Linthicum and Pennington are 4th year guys that haven't contributed at all. The rest are freshmen with zero experience.
Overall, this isn't a good group. It might be one of the worst we've had in recent memory. We should all be worried this fall.

Parks is our best. Tate and Miller have NFL potential. We really need the 3 of them to stay healthy and have big seasons. We will take a step back at OC and I believe we still have a liability at LT.

😉. I’m only concerned about Center and injuries. Leigh will be just fine.

The one position where you really have to develop guys as much as QB is OL. Even with QB you can use athleticism to get out of pickle. OL, pure brute strength helps, but technique and knowledge of the position benefit more than anything. Hoping Luke and the seasoned guys in the system can take a big step. Agree with OP, still very worried about this group.

We have very little experience. Parks and Tate have battled injuries for the last 2 seasons. Not good.

But we’ve got a great oline coach to make them play next level. No worries!

He did it with a style all his own. At Georgia, he helped transform the line from a huge, lumbering unit to a sleek, athletic group. The change allowed Georgia to maintain their physical play while also getting linemen out in space, completely changing the screen game for the Bulldogs.
That's what he'll likely try to do at Clemson. He's already started the process, going after Bradwell Institute (Hinesville, Georgia) lineman Elyjah Thurmon. At 6'5, 278, Thurmon is also a basketball star, something he has in common with Broderick Jones and Amrius Mims. It'll be fun to watch how the style of linemen Clemson goes after changes under Luke and how it gels with Garrett Riley's system going forward.
This is what is happening

OL ROOM....

Needs to get slightly bigger.
Again, we live on the edge too much. Why play with fire depth-wise and threat of injury.
Look at numbers that UGA and BAMA have in their rooms. Copy it.
OL should be an elite group at CLEM, yet it never can quite get there consistently

Offensive line has never been a priority at Clemson. The Thomas Austin Experiment set it back even further. Luke cannot fix the OL in less than a year like some fans expect. Good or bad, the UGA game will be telling.

I hope Austin didn't set the OL back and I hope that Luke can turn it around quickly. But I have a feeling that you are right.
