Baylor Football offensive lineman Ryan Legnyel and defensive back Devyn Bobby took questions about the Auburn Tigers and the season-opener on Tuesday after practice.
At the beginning of last fall, Baylor’s offensive line was a mystery. They had shuffled through three offensive line coaches and had to learn two separate offenses in a span of 12 months.
As the Bears inch closer to their season opener against Auburn on Friday, Aug. 29, at McLane Stadium, Grayson Grundhoefer and Levi Caraway try to predict Baylor’s depth chart, starting with the offense.
“Every team is its own team. We can’t hold our heads high on last year’s achievements when we still have a season to play this year,” head coach Dave Aranda told his team following practice last Thursday.
It was pretty evident early on that TCU’s defensive line was going to be in for a long night against a much-improved Baylor offensive line that was opening up running lanes with ease. Our underrated performer this week was the catalyst of that dominance.
Baylor will have five new starters on its OL in 2023. And given that the Wide Zone offense revolves around the wide zone running play you need a good/great OL to make this offense hum. Who steps up?
With no No. 61 on the roster, let's look at the three-star OL prospect in the 2021 class. He will provide much-needed depth to an already talented and experienced offensive line.
