I think Lisle would be great at RT and should be physically ready by then. Jones will give him a run for his money though.

Lisle has the versatility where he could play Guard or Tackle and Guard may be his ultimate home. But I agree, it is probably between him and Jones, with Evan having the edge right now for next year's RT position.

Cleveland.com has an article on the starting right tackle that evidently was designed to taunt every High School English teacher because it seems to have multiple possible conclusions but lacks a single definitive conclusion:

Going to be a tough 3 way battle imo between Lise/Farris/Jones. I know the staff was VERY high on Lisle at the position in his redshirt year but then word on him got quiet...I know I was very high on him coming out of Centerville and he has the talent to win it. Farris is a great athlete and even though he is 6'4, he has great feet and longer arms. Plus he came on strong last year and got some quality minutes...kind of rooting for him, good kid and it's his last year. Then Jamarco Jones is incredibly talented and an ideal RT to boot. It will be a really fun battle to monitor but we will be in great position with depth and talent.

Not worried about this one - we have the talent and Lord knows we have the coaching. Whomever is there will do great. Personally I'm rooting for Lisle or Jones as I'd hate to replace both tackles in 2016.

Whoever the leader may be at the moment OL battles often come down to health issues and what happens in the weight room. With all the young players on both sides of the line the Spring game should be fascinating.

By my count, we have 4 freshman OTs: Kevin Feder, Branden Bowen, Isaiah Prince, and Grant Schmidt.
That is enough for a complete 2 deep in a couple years.
The days of not having any OTs in the program are gone. Here's hoping for one or two to make it to the 2 deep.
Stretch goal: Prince starts.

To make matters (slightly) less complicated, I think Schmidt is a future guard all the way. He has the athleticism to play tackle no doubt but he can play his more natural position now imo. But I do think Feder and Bowen are undoubtedly tackles, probably Prince as well...to me, that just means a kill or be killed mentality at the position in all likelihood. Be the best and let someone else contemplate a position change or transfer.
