Fan the Flames Preview: OL

Now we are getting to teh big boys in our next two posts...the young men battling in the trenches...this week...the OL

Players Lost:

Tim Hartman
Bryan Mosier (first team All-Big South)
Josh Weaver (first team All-Big South)
Mario Cosby (second team All-Big South)

Players Returning:

Alex Stadler (second team All-Big South)
Justin Vargas
Stan Herring

Toney White
Matt Camire
Aaron Lundy
Jay Weatherington
Soeren Wendland
Aaron Brown
Matthew Brink
Jeremiah Williams

Players Incoming:

Andre Mondor 6-4 320 Lbs Tampa, FL
Greg Ray 6-4 300 Lbs Pearisburg, VA


Its tough when you lose three all conference linemen to graduation like Liberty did but there are plenty of young men chomping at the bit. Thanks to Chris Lang (beat writer for LU with the Lynchburg News and Advance) I was able to piece together what the starting five up front looks like going into practice (which starts today):

LT Justin Vargas
LG Malcolm Boyd
C Matt Camire
RG Alex Stadler
RT Soeren Wendland

Vargas and Stadler spent the spring and summer recovering from injuries but sounds to me like they are good to go for the season so there will be a ton of experience up front plowing holes for the RBs and for Mike Brown. There is word of an incoming transfer but its not known by this writer if he will be able to play this fall but soon as I hear word I will pass it along.
