How many OL from Southern Cal during that time frame which BTW is 20+ years. Mawae 20 years...Andolsek 25 years....Abergamo 20+ years ago. How about Alabama? Florida? Georgia? Texas? Oklahoma? Florida State? Washington? Ohio State? Michigan? Nebraska? Wisconsin?, etc, etc, etc. I will stick with my original statement that LSU has not been known for producing OL like they have DL, WR, secondary guys, etc. You have 5 OL positions...the most of any unit on a football team. You list a bunch of guys over a 20 year period, 20% of which never played 1 down in the NFL. Once again, we need to compare how many LSU put in the pros over that 20 year period vs the schools I mentioned and even some others like Tennessee, Michigan State, Iowa, etc.

Just found a summary from November of last season listing the top 5 according to someone who went through the current NFL rosters near the end of last season.

Miami - 8 OL Texas - 8 OL Boston College - 7 OL Iowa - 7 OL Nebraska - 7 OL BTW, he didn't list any more schools after that.

If NFL success is going to be your gauge for evaluating talent, it should be noted that on the most recent NFL All-Decade team (for the 2000's), 2 of the 10 offensive linemen were LSU products; Faneca and Mawae.

He started the last 6 games of last season and played very good. Hoping he takes it to the next level this season since I talk him up

Riley reminded me alot of Bradie James, big and physical, not a ton of speed, but a sound tackler and a very good football i.q.
