Where things stand

Again, we’re going with a knee-jerk gut call here. Paris Johnson, Jr. will likely land a starting spot somewhere on the line, and left tackle was his natural position coming out of high school. He’s been used in other roles so far, but with Nicholas Petit-Frere and Thayer Munford both headed to the NFL, look for him to move to left tackle. Vimahi was listed as the backup this past season and will be a part of the competition for time there again most likely. Again, all depending on what Justin Frye does with the talent he has with a new eye towards everything.
