Any O linemen have high school experience on the D line too? Position changes may be the only option for reinforcements.

Changing now is too late and will not help for this upcoming year - it usually takes a year or 2 to really acclimate to the switch. The younger guys will be upperclassmen by the time that happens and we won't have this depth issue anymore. I am holding onto hope (probably for nought) that Fisk will return for a sixth year as a basically-full-time DL. Spot's all his if he wants it. Otherwise this is the exact scenario in which a grad transfer band-aid would be ideal.

Drake Nugent was an all-state DT in HS, so I had proposed him switching a couple years ago (WHEN IT WAS ALREADY CLEAR THIS WOULD BE AN ISSUE). I had assumed due to his low rating Drake Metcalf would beat him out for the C spot. However, it turns out I was wrong and he's actually a very solid C, so moving him now makes no sense.
