I get asked all the time how Texas can possibly replace the 2024 offensive line in 2025 and my usual reply is usually that they can't. It's like T'Vondre Sweat and Byron Murphy in 2023. There is no "just add water"-type of solution to recreate that dynamic.
Can the unit that is set to protect Arch Manning in his first season as an SEC starter be good, though? Of course. These are highly recruited players who've now all had varying but relatively significant time learning under one of -- if not -- THE best OL coach in college football and elite-level physical development under Torre Becton and staff. This alone should tell us that the group should come into the season with a floor expectation of at least being serviceable. But what about the upside projection? How good can the offensive line actually be given a true bull case?
In the Deep Dig, we grade each snap by each offensive lineman every single game and have done so since 2013. It's been a lot of snaps, and as most of you know, the scale per-snap is from -2 (absolutely terrible) to 2 (basically perfect) with intervals of .5 separating each grade. Loosely, for example, you could say that 2 is a perfect grade, 1.5 is terrific, 1 is very good, .5 is above-average, 0 is baseline. For reference, if a player scored 0 on each snap of the game, his score in the Deep Dig would be a perfect baseline 75. Inversely, -.5 means below average, -1 is very bad, -1.5 is terrible and -2 is absolutely worthless and miserable.
What I've done here is combed through the Deep Dig from 2024 and found the highest-graded snap that I gave each player projected to start on the 2025 unit (I've included Andre Cojoe as well, although I do project Brandon Baker to take that job). The best of the best. I then went and sourced the All-22 coaches film from each game where the respective grade was assigned and will share those plays below in order to show what these players looked like in 2024 when playing at what I perceived to be their highest level:
