2010 Offensive Line
This is the first in a series of unit-by-unit looks at next year's depth chart. My best guess at 2010 eligibility is in parentheses. I'm not sure if some of the true freshmen have played or not.
Key Departures: LT Dennis Landolt, RT Ako Poti, RT Nerraw McCormack
Projected Starters: LT DeOn'tae Pannell (Jr), LG Johnnie Troutman (Jr), C Stefen Wisniewski (Sr), RG Lou Eliades (Sr), RT Eric Shrive (Fr)/Mike Farrell (So)
Depth: Matt Stankiewitch (So), Mark Arcidiacono (Fr), Quinn Barham (Jr), Nate Cadogan (Fr), Frank Figueroa (Fr), Adam Gress (Fr), Ty Howle (Fr), Doug Klopacz (Sr)
Incoming Commits (have not signed, yet): Khamrone Kolb, Tom Ricketts, Miles Dieffenbach, Luke Graham
Arcidiacono my move up the depth chart quicker than Shrive, from what I've heard, but I'm just going on gut with that projected starting lineup. The line has been much maligned this year, and for good reason. They just haven't stepped up when it's counted. 3rd and 1 was automatic last year. This year it has been anything but. Hopefully this line gels as the last couple of good lines have. It took a couple years together for those lines to be good. They'll have to improve to help out a new starter at QB next year, and may have to do without Evan Royster. They will definitely have to deal with new TEs as Quarless and Shuler will be graduating.
