Fresno State has taken some hits to its offensive-line depth in the summer and into fall camp, necessitating position switches for redshirt freshman nose guard Jaleel Carter and freshman defensive end Kevin Atkins.
In practice Monday, the Bulldogs’ fifth of fall camp, Carter was working as a left guard and Atkins as a right tackle. The changes were not the only indicator of of the team’s line depth. Carter on his first day took some reps with the No. 2 offense.
“We’re thin right now in the offensive line,” coach Tim DeRuyter said. “We knew coming into camp we were going to be thin there and we felt we had to do some things to shore up that position.
