OL Roster Thoughts

As far as I can tell, Baker is the only OL to be out of eligibility.

Two guys with one year left:
Rocco - Probably 50-50 at best to return.

Coogan - Sounds like he's back.

With two years left:
Wagner - Incumbent starter at RT. I suppose he might not have an ironclad grip on the position if someone like Lambert makes a big move and we like Jagusah at LT better than Wagner at RT. But it's probably pretty safe he stays in place.

Craig - Not sure his recovery timeline. That, more than anything, might keep him at ND if Coogan is entrenched at starting C. But a good player who we would like to keep.

Schrauth - Certain starter at G next year. Poised for a breakout once he's healthy.

Chan - Listed as an academic junior. Zero indication that he is ever going to play from scrimmage. Maybe he can finish his degree over the summer and open a spot? Or maybe he will transfer elsewhere to play.

With three years left:
Pendleton - Gone.

Knapp - A possible/probable starter next year. Definite starter in 2026.

Terek - Super early. Big, physical dude.

Jagusah - A definite starter next year.

Otting - Seems like he's only a C. If Knapp becomes the future at that spot, what will he do?

Prescod - I hope he's healthy. Then we can find out what we've got.

Jones - Ask again later. My gut is that he's in a battle with Terek and that if one guy falls behind, he would probably transfer. But I doubt that's imminent.

Absher - IMO, the wildcard in all this. And the oft-forgotten man. Large, talented, and versatile. Could make a move to start in 2025, probably at G but could throw his hat into the ring at RT.

Lambert - The future is bright.
