Minnesota Football Preview: Gopher Offensive Line, Upgrade or Downgrade in 2019?

Finally we get to an offensive position group that has to replace a starter or two. So far these upgrade/downgrade previews have been pretty easy because everybody returns and in the preseason it is pretty reasonable to expect that these will all be at least a slight upgrade.

Offensive line was a unit that improved throughout the year last season and by the end of the year had a couple of true freshmen starting.

Starter: Donnell Greene (LT), Connor Olson (LG), Jared Wyler (C), Blaise Andries (RG), Daniel Faalale (RT)
Depth: Curtis Dunlap Jr (RG), Sam Schlueter (T)

Really 6 of those 7 names above started in 2018, the starters listed were the starters for the end of the season.
