OL Michael Shumard, Texas A&M Shumard was a gem of a recruit for the Aggies two years ago, and he's already pushing for significant playing time at one of the guard spots. He's big and nimble, and has proven to be a very quick learn. Regardless of whether or not he starts this fall, Shumard represents the future of the O-line in College Station. Kenny Alfred is going toe-to-toe with upperclassmen in Washington State's search for a starting center. New starting center Eddie Adamski is the kind of undersized and overly athletic lineman that coaches crave at Northern Illinois. Kevin Bemoll is a major talent, who could be the answer at tackle, Cal's most obvious Achilles' heel. Charles Brown looks like USC's edition of Erik Winston, the former Miami tight end that became a force at tackle. Brown is still a little light, but the coaches are in awe of his athleticism.
