Texas A&M OL outlook for 2018: Can the O-line take a step forward with multiple returning starters?

Editor's note: This was originally published Feb. 19.

There were many moving pieces up front on offense for Texas A&M in 2017, and the Aggies struggled in the trenches. A&M allowed 29 sacks and was 77th in the nation rushing offense, averaging just 155.6 yards per game on the ground.

Despite some struggles, 2018 looks more hopeful, as the Aggies return all five starters on their O-line.

Here is an outlook at A&M's offensive line for 2018:

Key returnees: Erik McCoy (RS Junior, 6-4, 315), Connor Lanfear (Senior, 6-6, 320), Keaton Sutherland (Senior, 6-5, 310), Carson Green (Sophomore, 6-6, 300)

Key losses: Koda Martin (graduate transfer), Christian Daimler (graduation)

Newcomers: Colten Blanton (6-7, 285), Barton Clement (6-3, 315), Tank Jenkins (6-3, 325), Luke Matthews (6-4, 305)
