Losing those guys sucks but we do bring back some experience on the OL.
Danneker will be back from injury (started first game at LG)
Meservy will be back.
Brody Rodgers back at RG.
Amburgey started every game at RT will be back as well.
Titsworth started 7 games at Center
Others who got some experience last year: Atkinson, Habinowski, Ramer.
Replacing Jackson at LT will be the most immediate need since he started every game last year.
The OL will be in great shape this year with those guys above back. A few of the injuries that set the unit back last year will actually benefit the unit this year as a few of those guys didn’t exhaust a year of eligibility because of being injured. The loss of them last year actually turned into a bonus this season. As for Jackson, I don’t see his loss as that big of a deal. I thought Jackson was solid for the most part, but he wasn’t great. He physically looked every part of a dominant LT when he broke the huddle walking to the line of scrimmage. But after the ball was snapped, he sometimes showed why he wasn’t at Virginia Tech anymore as well. And remember all those safeties against Ohio last year? I can clearly remember a couple of them where Jackson whiffed and even one where be never even got out of his stance that caused them. He will be replaceable.
