Should be a very nice season for the Maroons. Most of the Pulaski faithful that I've talked to are excited. Their major area of concern is on the line of scrimmage, both offensive and defensive. That will be a huge key to their season and make the difference in a winning year and challenging for the region.

I agree, Norm. The Maroons are loaded at the skill positions, the biggest question is the linemen.

Maybe it's just me but, I don't think that the OL/DL will be that big of an issue. They lost three starters in T/G/NT Jacob Gross, C Isaiah Jasper, and DE Keenan Hall. Jacob and Isaiah will be the toughest to replace IMO because Isaiah started every game at Center last year and it's gonna be tough replacing Jacob because he was easily the biggest lineman the Maroons had. I don't want to leave out Kyle Varney either, he started a couple games on both sides of the ball at T and NT but, played most of his time on defense.

Returning will be Will Mobley who started every game at DE last year. The right side of the OL is returning as well in RT Tristan Tilley and RG Chase Willoughby. The LG position was shared last year by Jake Roberts and Hunter Merrick.

This is what I think both the starting Offensive and Defensive lines will look like.

O-Line:

LT Hunter Merrick(Jr)
LG Jake Roberts(So)
C Trent Fiene(Jr)
RG Chase Willoughby(Sr)
RT Tristian Tilley(Jr)

D-Line:

LE Will Mobley(Sr)
NT Patrick Stephens(Jr)
RE Wade Rutherford(Jr)

The biggest question mark is probably the RE position, there are several others that are in the mix for that position and Jake Roberts could definitely see some time on the D Line as well.
