Things will be much clearer by the end of spring practice.
There are 5 OT's on scholarship at present.
Martin-5th yr
Lombard
Nichols (though he may go the mesdical scholarship route soon)
N. Martin
Stanley
All 5 of the incoming OL played OT for their HS teams...wheter they play OT at ND has yet to be seen.
I meant other tackles after the starting ones
If Lombard does move to guard, there would be only 3 OT's on the roster
Z.Martin
Stanley
Elmer
From Kelly's PC, it doesn't look like Nichols will play anymore, and Nick Martin, who has practiced at all 5 positions, is expected to fill an interior position.
Like I said, things will become much clearer after spring practice. We will have a good feel for what the starting OL will look like. Position changes (watt to C, Lombard to G) would change some things a bit, but those that are expected to fill the holes, I don't expect them to change.
