per Johnson:
If an offensive line is the foundation of a football team, the solid blocks upon which ball control and big plays are built, then the Gophers left spring practice in need of some shoring up.
A tumultuous offseason saw veterans Tyler Moore and Connor Mayes transfer, while surgeries to starters Jared Weyler, Vincent Calhoun and Garrison Wright left the Gophers threadbare up front, with only six linemen available for spring practice.
But health, and hope, are on their way back. By Aug. 10, coach P.J. Fleck expects a full roster available for contact drills.
Included in that group is Weyler, who tore a triceps in the Nov. 12 game at Nebraska, missed the rest of the season, underwent surgery and now has declared himself ready to go.
“In terms of rehab, it’s going really well,” said Weyler, a junior who was the offensive line’s spokesman for Monday’s media day ahead of Tuesday’s first camp session. “… I feel great, honestly, going into fall camp. I’m really happy where I’m at.”
