When the 6-foot-10, 325-pound Gerad Christian-Lichtenhan joins the huddle, it’s noticeable. His presence brings a size advantage to nearly any matchup.
Although Christian-Lichtenhan is a projected third tackle, I’m still confident we’ll see “Tank” rolled out more often in 2022. Due to a few minor injuries to expected starters, Christian-Lichtenhan has already been getting some first-team reps, only furthering his development.
The O-line in its entirety has also taken a step forward under new position coach Kyle DeVan, according to Tank.
“We trust a lot more of our pass pro (protection), our hands, our vision of where we’re going,” said the sophomore Christian-Lichtenhan. “We kind of have a better idea of what’s going on. (There’s) a lot more communication within the line group, so it’s really nice. We’re all on the same page now.”
