Offensive line (Left to right)

- Mustafa Khaleefah, Jacob Isaia, Damon Kaylor, Spencer Brown, James Ohanba
There is a pretty clear top ten group in MSU’s offensive line room. Everyone listed in the third group is young and inexperienced and would have to leap up into the two deep. As for the top ten, it’s a bit of a mess. Everyone in the group has played a decent amount. Devontae Dobbs is the least experience of the bunch having only played four games as a true freshman, but his recruiting pedigree is at the top of the group. Elsewhere there is a ton of youth and a ton of injuries. Nick Samac and JD Duplain showed well as true freshman in 2019, entering the lineups midway through the season. Allen has experience in the middle, but has battled injuries and at times ineffectiveness. Jordan Reid has been a constant presence at right tackle and there is something to be said for his durability. There’s also something to be said for his performance, which has been lacking at times. Essentially, nobody in the top ten should be guaranteed a starting spot. The top five I listed are the ones I think would make up the best starting group right now. The battle on the offensive line is just as up for grabs as the quarterback spot, with the difference being the line has a lot more experience on it, just maybe not the best experience.
