In the Spring game, that's exactly what he will play.

To try to answer BJ's question, OL who are 6'6" usually play tackle, where they can use their reach to push pass rushers to the outside. Every tackle at LU since I can remember has been 6'4" or taller, whereas we have had lots of guards and centers in the 6'2"-6'3" range.

Lynchburg actually is not home for Tanner. He's from Christiansburg. I would guess he stayed with a host family while he played at LCA, cause that would be a long commute.

Thank you for actually answering my question olldflame...(very funny flamehunter) he seemed too big to play guard so tackle made the most sense. it will definitely add another interesting dynamic to the battle up front come August
