The composition of the offensive line remains largely the same. “Jordan has made some huge gains in the weight room this offseason,” Carroll said. “They show up on the field, where we get him out in space a couple times and he looks pretty nifty out there. That's a compliment. There's not a lot of things he can't do movement-wise, strength-wise.”
“During the season, it was really frustrating,” said Morgan, who will be a fourth-year junior this fall. “I just played through it. Playing on the line, you get hurt all the time.
