The likely starters are Charles Leno and Sam Cosmi, but there will be an open competition for both tackle positions. Lucas, Sharpe, and Steinmetz are facing long odds.
2021 Prediction
- Left Tackle – Charles Leno
- Right Tackle – Sam Cosmi
- Swing Tackle – Cornelius Lucas
- Emergency Tackles – Ereck Flowers, Saahdiq Charles
Flowers and Charles are guards, but could be pressed into service as tackles if injuries become a mounting problem. Cornelius Lucas and David Sharpe will likely compete for the swing tackle position, but Lucas has the edge.
