Top Ten Returning Southeast Division Tackles

Art Gomez will switch from right to left tackle in 2013 as he leads a rebuilt/reloaded offensive line that will be plowing the road for two of the Southeast Divisions most dangerous players in Justin Huff and Jorge Reyna.

(Of the 34 teams in the division, including Cerritos which we’ve been told is returning to the field this season. Like always we based it on what we saw during the past season, film, what coaches have told us, and post season honors. Far from perfect, tell us who we are missing. Give us names and reasons, and maybe some positive words on their behalf. These guys deserve it because they do much of the dirty work.)

***Note I*** This one was a struggle, give your thoughts.

***Note II*** We are aware that changes happen along the offensive line all the time. A tackle today, might be the center next week. A guard this year might be a tackle next fall.

***Note III*** Coaches that want more attention for their centers, and offensive line in general, must do a better job promoting them. Number switches and in some cases zero information on post season honors and sizes (height/weight) make it difficult to appraise and praise the trenchmen.
