Donnell Greene has started 19 of the 26 games he has played in
It all starts up front. That's a popular saying in football, meaning that if you win the battle in the trenches then you have a better chance of winning the game. Up front for the Gophers features a mix of experience and youth, as Minnesota could start two upperclassmen and three underclassmen on the offensive line this year.
As a fifth-year senior, Jared Weyler is the most tenured of the group, but Donnell Greene has actually played the most football for the Gophers among possibilities on the line. Greene, who joined Minnesota as a junior college transfer in 2016, has started 19 of his 26 career games. He started 11 of 12 games in 2017 and the final eight of 2016 and anchored an offensive line that allowed only 22 sacks and 62 tackles for loss last season en route to being named All-Big Ten Honorable Mention.
