When Joe Dahl arrived at WSU in 2012, following his transfer from Montana, several practice reports mentioned the Spokane native as WSU's best offensive lineman. There were a couple problems with that. First, Dahl wasn't allowed to play, sitting out a year due to his transfer. Second, the fact that a redshirt freshman from a Big Sky school was the best player on the line didn't say much for the guys who were allowed to play.
Three seasons later, it's pretty obvious that those early practice reports were quite accurate. After starting at left guard for the New Mexico Bowl team in 2013, Dahl moved out to left tackle for his final two seasons.
