I came here to post the same news. Mays returning would be massive. Get Spraggins and Campbell as well, and the OL suddenly becomes quite solid.

I think there is a reasonable chance Spraggs comes back, due to the injury
Much more pessimistic about Campbell

We get the 5* tackle, it might not matter ...

I see our biggest remaining WR target committed to Colorado yesterday. Might want to keep in touch with him for when that house of cards comes crashing down in a year or two. Really dumb decision.  :frown:

Huge if he and Spraggins return...


Some of them on the return list need to move on and make some room for rebuilding. As Heupel said on Vol Calls we are missing pretty much a whole class after deflections after Pruitt and the sanctions.

I?m guessing a lot of coaches will be happy to see the end of the free Covid year. It can be a big help in the case of guys like Coop, but on the whole it just adds to the roster uncertainty that was already exasperated by the transfer portal. Plus, it has stalled the development of a lot of younger guys that have wait their turn for an extra year.

Out of guys on the current roster, how many could return next season and have the potential to be decent OL contributors?

Hubbs has mentioned Lang, but as a center. Could he play guard? Can Kauric be serviceable? We might have enough guys to solidify the interior and maybe one tackle. That's not terrible before portal acquisitions.

He has, and has held up as well as can be expected, but if memory serves this is his Covid year. I think.

As far as Campbell goes, this could be leverage or it could be real.
