The Seminole offensive line is experienced, talented and Erving is anchor. At 6-6 302 the Senior, was a consensus All-American last year, and appears on just about every pre-season All-American list for 2014. How good is Erving? I <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seminoles.com\/sports\/m-footbl\/mtt\/cameron_erving_706946.html\">was reading Erving’s bio,<\/a> and now I remember it from that game, he held Clemson All-American DE Vic Beasley without a sack when FSU and Clemson played. He’s a projected 1st round pick, and here’s a scary thought. He’s a converted DT, who’s still learning the position.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>2) Tre’ Jackson, Florida State<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tre’ Jackson is another Florida State offensive lineman with All-American ability. At 6-4 339 lbs, he’s a load at guard, and is a tremendous run-blocker. He’s also projected to be a first round pick, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nfldraftscout.com\/ratings\/dsprofile.php?pyid=120206&draftyear=2015&genpos=OG\">and is considered the top draftable guard by NFL Draft Scout.com.<\/a>\u00a0Keep reading because we aren’t done with the Seminole lineman.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>3) Laken \u00a0Tomlinson, Duke<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Look no further than Laken Tomlinson from Duke, to understand the restoration project by head coach David Cutcliffe. Tomlinson is considered one of the 5 best senior guards in the country. He’s an experienced lineman who at 6-3 320 lbs is going to be coveted by NFL teams. He’s a potential 2nd or 3rd round NFL pick.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>4) Josue Matias, Florida State<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ok this just isn’t fair… Josue Matias is the 3rd Florida State offensive lineman to make this list. He is ranked as the <a href=\"http:\/\/walterfootball.com\/draft2015OG.php\">number 4 draft eligible guard by WalterFootball.com.<\/a>\u00a0Take a look at that list, and you’ll see 4 of the top 6 draftable guards in country are from the ACC. They say you win in the trenches. Matias is 6-6 331 lbs, and gives the Seminoles another monster along the offensive line. The Noles offensive line is flat out going to be a wall this year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>5) Shaq Mason, Georgia Tech<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Shaw Mason is Georgia Tech’s first entry into a top 5 position player, and he’s a good one. Mason is coming off a 1st team All-ACC season, where he was the Yellow Jackets top offensive lineman for their run heavy attack. Mason is only 6-1. If he was 1 or 2 inches taller he’d probably be a first or second rounder. He still has NFL talent, and is considered one of the top 25 guards in nation. Expect him to be a 5th-7th round NFL pick.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Become a fan of the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/theACC\">ACC on Facebook\u00a0<\/a>and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/theacc\">follow the ACC on Twitter.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<br>\n<center>\n\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<!-- Bottom_Post -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n style=\"display:inline-block;width:468px;height:60px\"\n data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1227879969298088\"\n data-ad-slot=\"1445137322\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<br>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<!-- Horizontal_6 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n style=\"display:inline-block;width:468px;height:60px\"\n data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1227879969298088\"\n data-ad-slot=\"4619304738\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n\n\n<\/center>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are looking at offensive linemen now, and I can’t remember a unit as loaded as the Florida State offensive line.
