We have two fine prospects in Ohrenberger and Vollmer. I don't think either is likely to be much help this year if there are injuries at guard or center. I don't see LeVoir as a backup guard.
That would leave one backup on the roster for Mankins, Koppen, and Neal. That player would be there to spell any of these on Game Day. If any of the three starters or the one backup is injured, we will need to count on Ohrenberger.
The options in case of injury at center or guard are to count on
1) Ohrenberger,
2) a Practice Squad player,
3) a street free agent, or
4) carry 10 offensive linemen this year.
Given that Hochstein is also a fullback in short yardage situations and sometimes even a tight end, perhaps Hochstein can be that 10th offensive lineman.
