Could Newell play tackle? Might be best to have one of the younger guys at center and move him out there.
Starting OL for 2020
- Thread starter CloneGuy8
- Start date
That’s a great question. I think someone has mentioned before that Schweiger could play C, allowing Newell to flex to another spot.
There are options, just either way (barring a grad transfer) it’ll be a pretty inexperienced OL.
I've read this more than once here, but where is this coming from? I believe you; having some kind of source would be nice...
Directly from him. Havent seen it listed anywhere so I hesitate to say it's done, but that was plan late last fall
Ok. Looking forward to an official comment from the staff. Always welcome players looking for another way to get on the field. And I'm sure Coach Rasheed loves the extra bodies. Kleinow certainly has the size, but @ 6'6" he may struggle with pad level on the interior. Best of luck to him!
JGJ was a center. CMC said Downing is the most talented lineman he's ever coached. Bookend OTs for three years isn't a bad thing.

Thats pretty good for an outsiders look. They clearly don’t know our WR position names though.

I heard good things about him last year. He was heavily recruited out of HS
The way I look at it, Joey Ramos could be a really good LT.
Treiber, on the other hand, has a chance to be a great LT. Matter of fact, one of the best LT’s I’ve seen at ISU—since Karl Nelson.
Of course, for all I know CMC and Jeff Myers will start him out on the right side just because. And for our two young lefty QB’s, the right side is the blind side anyway, right?
It's a bad year to be short on experience/ depth upfront. Don't get me wrong I'm very excited about the starting five. Plus I think Schweiger is a capable backup which would allow Newell to slide out to guard if needed. As for OT I truly hope Foster has improved enough to step in if needed. But here's the rub. 3 RFR in the second unit with the only scholarship non true freshman they are ahead of being Ross. I fear that shows move about his lack of development than their improvement. It's entirely possible the uncertainty of health both physical and medical we may be putting true freshman on the field for meaningful snaps. I know it's better to have a few lions rather than a flock of lambs. I just hope that's the case.

No inside info, but I'll go:
LT: Treiber, Ramos
LG: Downing, Ross
C: Schweiger, Simmons
RG: Newell, Hudson
RT: Ramos, Foster/Remsburg
EVERYONE back next year plus FR coming off RS...should be a really good group. In fact, outside of Purdy and the TEs, pretty much the whole offense is back.
My prediction:
LT: Treiber
LG: Downing
C: Schweiger
RG: Newell
RT: Ramos
First 2 O-line to rotate in are Hudson and Foster. I think Foster is a RT and would bump Ramos over to give Treiber a breather. Hudson is a RG, Newell could bump over to LG to give Downing a breather.

Uh, what? “his lack of development”?
CMC just said that Ross is healthy for the first time since blowing his knee out and missing his senior year in HS.
And Trevor Downing did well last season as a RS freshman, he likes the current RS FR, so it kinda sounds like you’re manufacturing reasons to worry.
