So, who is going to fill in at left tackle? There are a few options for the Trojans moving forward.
Jarrett Kingston and Michael Tarquin come to mind. The Washington State and Florida transfers, respectively, have both played left tackle in their careers. Mason Murphy, who will be entering his 3rd year with the Trojans, also has experience at left tackle.
