Those of us who postulated that Brandon Fanaika should be moved to NT to plug DL depth issues, can now see it wasn't necessary. Amazingly, Shittu, Scarlett, and Thomas were good enough to get the job done. Moreover, it's looking like a very good thing he stayed on the OL because not only was he effective in the jumbo sets he played in, he's now got some valuable experience that should make the transition from Garnett much smoother than it might have been otherwise, no matter if Fanaika or Bright end up there.
It appears the only real 2016 OL hole to fill is the LT spot. Stanford has had a solid LT for many years in a row now. Martin - Yankey - Peat - Murphy. Who might be the most likely to win the job? Candidates:
Nick Davidson - 5th year Senior who may be ready?
Dave Bright - He's thought of as more of a Guard, but perhaps he's more athletic than I'm thinking?
A.T. Hall - Don't know if he played as a RS Frosh so probably a long shot?
Jack Dreyer - Big frame at 6-8, but will he have the size and strength needed as a RS Frosh?
Am I missing someone who might be the guy?
