LT Jack Mewhort
Mewhort is the leader of the line, and for good reason: he’s been starting on this team since 2011. At 6-foot-7, 310 pounds, the fifth-year senior is a mountain of a man to try and get around.

The common theme on this offensive front is size: Norwell is another monster at 6-foot-6, 320 pounds. Like Mewhort, Norwell is a senior who enters his third year as a starter, and was named All-Big Ten last season by the media.
Linsley is the smallest of the bunch at 6-foot-2, 292 pounds, but the redshirt senior is experienced and can really play. He was voted All-Big Ten honorable mention by both the media and coaches in 2012.
Yet another redshirt senior, Hall won the starting job at right guard last season. At 6-foot-6, 320 pounds, he certainly has the size to be an All-Big Ten selection in 2013.
Decker is just a sophomore, and lacks the experience of the other men on this line. That said, he’s a huge guy (6-foot-7, 315 pounds), and nearly won the starting job last spring.
