Alabama’s projected starting five on the offensive line — Carroll, left tackle Jackson Lloyd, left guard William Sanders, center and Cal Poly transfer Racin Delgatty and right tackle and Mississippi State transfer Jayvin James — has the fewest number of snaps played of any line in the SEC.
Compared to projected starting offensive lines of every other line in the conference, Alabama’s five average 17 games of experience collectively and 693 snaps, more than 46 snaps fewer than Mississippi State, which has the second-fewest.
Alabama is projected to be the only team in the SEC without a senior or a redshirt senior starter on the offensive line while teams like Kentucky, LSU, South Carolina and Missouri, aided by the NCAA transfer portal, built some of the most experienced offensive lines in the conference.
