At the FCS<\/a> level, having an elite offensive tackle is a luxury \u2013 and these programs have some good ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether they are tackles, guards, or centers \u2013 or they\u2019re starting as tackles this year out of team need but are more naturally suited interior linemen \u2013 HERO Sports is going to spotlight one per conference who has committed to returning to the FCS level.

Here are still several OT studs preparing for FCS football this fall. Take a look, conference by conference:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RELATED:<\/strong> Best Returning FCS Interior OL<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

BIG SKY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Marcus Wehr, Montana State, Sr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 STAT LINE: Started all 12 games he played in for the Bobcats<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wehr is coveted by pro scouts as a potential interior lineman, or tackle \u2013 take your pick for this versatile lineman. Being versatile is a coveted trait in the pro ranks. PFF, the well-respected scouting agency, likes Wehr as the No. 1 rated Division I offensive tackle. He\u2019s an in-state product, which is also a big deal to Montana natives. Among other Big Sky talents, Montana\u2019s Brandon Casey is a massive candidate for this spot (NOTE: We had Sacramento State\u2019s Jackson Slater in our interior lineman piece, as he is highly respected as a guard prospect but can play many positions up front).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BIG SOUTH-OVC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gareth Warren, Lindenwood, Sr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 STAT LINE: Warren is expected to be a top lineman after an all-conference 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warren has been a big contributor to Lindenwood\u2019s recent move from the Division II ranks to being a solid program in the FCS. The season-opening game against Kansas will provide a big opportunity for Warren to prove himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CAA\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ozzie Hutchinson, UAlbany, Sr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 STAT LINE: Played in all 14 games in UAlbany\u2019s best season in school history<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hutchinson was a key contributor as the Great Danes went 11-4 last year, put the scare into two FBS opponents (Marshall and Hawaii), and won seven games in a row before running into the buzzsaw that is known as South Dakota State. He will be a leader this year for UAlbany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IVY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Delby Lemieux, Dartmouth, Jr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 STAT LINE: Started the last 7 games of the season<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lemieux was an All-Ivy League performer for the co-conference champion Big Green. He was listed as an honorable mention player as a sophomore in 2023 and obviously has a lot of football ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MEAC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cam Johnson, South Carolina State, Sr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 STAT LINE: All-MEAC performer for the Bulldogs in 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnson has been a key contributor for two seasons, playing in 15 games and being named by most media outlets as a Second Team All-MEAC player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MVFC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jared Penning, Northern Iowa, Sr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 STAT LINE: A pro prospect and named All-American by several outlets<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s face it, several individuals could fit this spot. The Missouri Valley Football Conference prides itself in black-and-blue football starting with the big guys up front, most of which come from that part of the country. Penning fits that narrative perfectly, but don\u2019t forget stars like Hunter Zambrano at Illinois State, Grey Zabel and Mason Miller at North Dakota State, and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NEC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tim Suk, Sacred Heart, Sr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 STAT LINE: A Second Team All-NEC performer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sacred Heart is an FCS independent this fall, but was an NEC member last year.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suk stands 6-foot-8 and could be very interesting to keep an eye on this fall in terms of how scouts view him. He picked up postseason accolades in 2023 and is expected to be one of the Pioneers\u2019 top contributors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PATRIOT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ryder Langsdale, Lafayette, Sr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 STAT LINE: Started every game at left tackle<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Langsdale was named a Second Team All-Patriot League performer last fall and helped pave the way for one of the nation\u2019s top running backs in Jamar Curtis. Well, Curtis is back, and so is Langsdale, and he\u2019ll also be on hand to protect the quarterback, obviously. At 6-foot-7, his athleticism earlier in his college career warranted a switch from a potential defensive lineman to being an O-tackle.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n\n
\"promo-page-banner\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

PIONEER<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Alec Rasmussen, St. Thomas (MN), Sr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 STAT LINE: Was selected a Phil Steele First Team All-Pioneer League player<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the past two seasons, Rasmussen has been a key cog in the St. Thomas offense. He started all 11 games in 2023 for the Tommies and played more than 90 percent of the offensive snaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SOCON<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Quincy Hughes, Wofford, Jr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 STAT LINE: Started 9 games at left tackle for the Terriers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a conference that features a lot of strong interior linemen coming back, Hughes is clearly one of the best SoCon offensive tackle tackles returning in 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SOUTHLAND<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jhy Orgeron, Southeastern Louisiana, Sr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 STAT LINE: Two-year starter at tackle<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orgeron became the Lions\u2019 starting left tackle early in the 2022 season and he hasn\u2019t looked back since then. He\u2019s been an All-Southland Conference selection and played in nine games as a reserve in 2021. In the stellar 2022 season (9-4 record), Orgeron helped Southeastern Louisiana gain nearly 400 yards per contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SWAC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Carson Vinson, Alabama A&M, Sr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 STAT LINE: All-Conference performer in 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vinson, who stands 6-foot-6, 305 pounds, has caught the eye of pro scouts and will be watched closely this fall. He will get a chance to show how good he is individually against Auburn in Week One. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

UAC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Payton Collins, Eastern Kentucky, Grad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 STAT LINE: Has started more than 40 career games at EKU<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collins (6-foot-7, 301 pounds) was a massive reason for EKU\u2019s offensive success in 2023, as the Colonels put up 437.4 yards per game, tops in the UAC. He began his career as a HERO Sports Freshman All-American in 2021 and hasn\u2019t let up since then. Keep a close eye on this pro prospect in 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
