Arizona will only return left tackle Rhino Tapa'atoutai as a starter on the offensive line from its 61-39 2024 season-opening win over New Mexico. Injuries limited the Arizona OL in 2024. Tapa'atoutai played in six games in 2024 before suffering a season-ending injury.

Texas Texas transfer Ty Buchanan seems like a definite starter for Arizona at right tackle. The other three positions vary depending on the projections. Michael Wooten returns after taking the place of Tapa'atoutai in 2024. Wooten struggled throughout 2024 with frequently receiving low grades from Pro Football Focus.

Ka'ena Decambra transferred to Arizona after starting all 12 games for Hawaii at LT in 2024 and being named their offensive Most Valuable Player.
