With FAU losing left tackle Reggie Bain to the 2019 NFL Draft, first-year offensive line coach Jeff Norrid is getting a head start this spring in finding a quality replacement.

Brandon Walton, who started at right tackle the past two seasons, is moving to left tackle to fill the vacancy left by Bain. He said he is focused on improving his pass blocking this spring, as the left tackle has the responsibility of protecting the quarterback’s blind side.
