Garin Justice has to be a pretty happy guy, considering the crowd he has in his room:

guard Nate Anderson (redshirt junior) 6-4 299
tackle Paxton Briggle (redshirt freshman) 6-5 285
tackle Savion Byrd (redshirt junior) 6-5 293
center Cooper Case (freshman) 6-1 280
tackle Andrew Chamblee (redshirt sophomore) 6-6 304
guard/center Jakai Clark (grad) 6-3 315
guard (?) Henry Douglass (redshirt freshman) 6-3 292
guard Reagan Gill (redshirt freshman) 6-4 303
tackle Caleb Johnson (redshirt junior) 6-6 303
tackle (?) Jack Laphen (redshirt sophomore) 6-4 264
tackle King Large (freshman) 6-5 295
center/guard Justin Osborne (grad) 6-5 299
guard Logan Parr (grad) 6-4 314
tackle/guard Paris Patterson (redshirt freshman) 6-6 350
guard (?) Hunter Ryan (redshirt sophomore) 6-2 267
guard (?) Qae'Shon Sapp (sophomore) 6-4 325
guard Keaton Schultz (redshirt junior) 6-1 / 285
tackle Sean Scott (redshirt freshman) 6-6 298
guard Ben Sparks (senior) 6-4 292
tackle/guard Graham Uter (freshman) 6-5 285
tackle PJ Williams (redshirt sophomore) 6-5 318
guard/tackle Alex Woods (redshirt freshman) 6-3 294
guard Max Yao (redshirt junior) 6-4 297

Now THAT is what an OL room should look like! I can't remember an OL group that big, in population or sheer size.

That includes a masterclass in transfer OLs. Consider:

Anderson: Oklahoma (Big 12)
Byrd: Oklahoma (Big 12)
Chamblee: Arkansas (SEC)
Clark: Miami (ACC)
Johnson: Notre Dame
Osborne: Auburn (SEC)
Parr: Texas (Big 12)
Sapp: Florida State (ACC ... and a brief stop at East Carolina, but didn't play)
Williams: Texas A&M (SEC)

Plenty of big guys competing for a spot in the 2-deep. Not sure how many walk-ons are included on that list.

I might be wrong, but I think the walk-ons include Briggle, Case, Douglass, Laphen, Ryan, Schultz ... and Yao?

In a perfect world we have 2 “first teams” alternating quarters and grinding the opposition down!

Like we had in the early 80.s.
Nice rotation on the d line also.

8 guys north of 300??
Times have changed!

Gotta have the big guys. Like what I see. Now, let's plow the fields and run and pass at will.

Been covering the team long enough to remember being told, about a 6-1, 210-pound tackle: "Don't worry — he'll grow."

This kind of offensive linemen represents an entirely different world!
