Stat Of The Day: Auburn's offensive line is lighter and shorter than last season's but much more skilled

Auburn's offensive line will be smaller than it was in 2022 but a ton better.

Auburn has had a lot of offensive line struggles throughout the years, but Coach Hugh Freeze came in and added skilled players to the position in no time.

The question is how does Auburn's 2023 projected starting offensive line compare to the 2022 line size-wise. 

Let's take a look.

Stat of the Day: 

2022 Starting O-line Size

LT Kilian Zierer 6'7/312lbs

LG Brandon Council 6'4/328lbs

C Tate Johnson 6'4/285lbs

RG Keiondre Jones 6'4/340lbs

RT Austin Troxell 6'7/309lbs

Total Weight: 1,574 pounds

Total Height: 386 inches

2023 Projected Starting Offensive Line

LT Dillon Wade 6'3/307lbs

LG Jeremiah Wright 6'5/338lbs

C Avery Jones 6'4/307lbs

RG Tate Johnson 6'4/302lbs

RT Gunner Britton 6'6/312lbs

Total Weight: 1,566 pounds

Total Height: 382 inches

What does this mean?

Auburn's offensive line will be four inches shorter and eight pounds lighter in 2023 but much more technically skilled. 

Size is a big part of offensive line play, but skill is much more important, and this Tiger line in 2023 will help this football team move the ball and put up more points. 

Coach Freeze did an outstanding job landing so many talented offensive linemen in the transfer portal. 

The improvement to the line has made this football team at least two wins better in 2023 than it was in 2022. 

So Auburn's offensive line being a little bit smaller this season than a year ago isn't a concern for me in the least bit.
