No, we still need a high end OT. Adams can be a good veteran swing tackle. Rogers or Bourdon at one tackle, high end transfer (Peak) with Adams backing them up or injury replacement.

I just watched the Ole Miss-LSU highlights with both Adams and Echols on the left side. They looked great. Maybe a small sample size, but I am excited about those two.

As things stand now, Adams will likely start for us. Now, if we land Formby and Peak or Heard, it's going to be intense competition. So if we do land 2 more, maybe he doesn't start.

Still it takes time for an OL to gel. I could see us having some struggles early on, but potentially having a higher ceiling than last year. Assuming we close strongly in the portal with Formby and maybe one of the others. We will have lots of pieces to work with, but a very new unit with lots of scrambled together pieces.

Good news shortly on the OL and we will be done

Sources: Former Alabama right tackle Wilkin Formby has committed to Texas A&M. He brings 16 career starts to A&M and will be a big piece of their line next season. https://t.co/tI5qiANm5z
