Offensive Line:
Starting Tackles: Josh Jones | Houston / Andrew Thomas | Georgia
Backup: Hakeem Adeniji | Kansas
Without many clearly defined stats to grab from for an “All-Production” team, the players on the offensive line were chosen based on their versatility and longevity as a starter. Josh Jones from Houston and Georgia’s Andrew Thomas come into this class as some of the most long-term starters in the class.
Despite missing a few games to injury, Jones was a four-year starter in college along in the left tackle spot and earned a few All-Conference honors for his effort. Similar to Thomas, who started at left tackle in his final two years in college after moving over from full-time starter at right tackle in his freshman year. Thomas was a First-Team All-SEC player in both of his last two years.
Kansas’ Hakeem Adeniji earns the backup tackle spot for having started at tackle in every game of his college career, even as a true freshman.
