Offensive Line

Left Tackle: Derrick Kelly, Josh Ball(Back up)
Left Guard: Landon Dickerson, Derrick Kelly (Back up)
Right Guard: Cole Minshew, David Robbins (Back up)
Right Tackle: Rick Leonard, Brock Ruble (Back Up)
Center: Alec Eberle, Andrew Boselli (Back up)

The FSU offensive line is the most difficult unit to predict.

Alec Eberle missed all spring, but has returned from surgery looking stronger than last season. He’s over 300 pounds now and show be able to anchor better. Landon Dickerson has recovered from his ACL injury suffered last year and will be a starter.

The good news is that Rick Leonard can play either left or right tackle. Cole Minshew had played left and right guard in the past as well.

The story of the fall is Derrick Kelly being healthy and establishing himself as a starter.

All in all, there’s experience and players that can play multiple positions along the line. It’s time for this unit to finally be a strong suit on the team.
