Aug 15, 2019 | Football
NEW ORLEANS – The Tulane offensive line unit will once again play a significant role for the Green Wave this fall.
Heading into 2019 the unit is comprised of 17 players, featuring nine freshman, three sophomores, two juniors, two seniors and one graduate transfer.
THE UNIT
-Although Tulane only returns two consistent starters in Corey Dublin and and Keyshawn McLeod from last year's team, the Green Wave do welcome back senior Tyler Johnson and sophomore Joey Claybrook both of whom have started 15 and four games, respectively.
-The Green Wave lost seniors John Leglue, Noah Fisher and Dominque Briggs to graduation this offseason.
-Dublin has started in each of the 25 career game he has appeared in.

-Tulane's 2019 Signing Class featured incoming freshmen Sincere Haynesworth, Colby Oregeron, Jackson Fort, Trace Oldner and Caleb Thomas.

-Tulane's returning offensive linemen have combined to make 56 career starts.
POSITION HIGHLIGHTS
-Tulane's offensive line paved the way for the Green Wave to rush for over 300 yards in four games (Memphis, Tulsa, USF and Louisiana-Lafayette).
