Nick Kelly took a stab at the starting lineups coming out of spring. First, let’s talk some offensive line. Offensive line Starters : Jackson Lloyd (left tackle), Will Sanders (left guard), Racin Delgatty (center), Michael Carroll (right guard), Jayvin James (right tackle) Reserves : Nick Brooks, Ethan Fields, Ty Haywood, Kaden Strayhorn, Mal Waldrep, Chris Booker, Tyrell Miller, Bryson Cooley, Casey Poe Analysis : A swap of Brooks for James could make sense as summer camp progresses.

But Lloyd, Delgatty and Carroll are likely to fill three of the spots on the offensive line. As for the left guard spot, Waldrep worked there during A-Day, but when healthy, Will Sanders is a top contender for the job. He will have to fend off Ethan Fields, though.

Minus Sanders, the group of starters listed here were the starters on A-Day. Michael Carroll moved from right tackle to right guard, and here is what he had to say about the switch. “Everything’s a little bit quicker at right guard,” Carroll said.
