Senior Eastern Michigan commit AJ Coleman, known as “The Captain” of the offensive line, takes pride in his brothers up front. Backing him up to his right side is sophomore Reed Miller, juniors Dylan Schreiner, Luke Jackson, and Aidan Buckley. The offensive line has had a lot of game experience from starting freshman year as in Coleman, Miller, and Jackson or being a second-year starter as Buckley and Schreiner.
