Junior C Evan Boehm
On moving to the Center position:
"Talking to Coach Pinkel about the move, he was all for it and that was really cool. Just being able to have the trust of Coach Pinkel putting me into the center position even though I've never played that position before, even in high school, you could see the trust factor was there. Last year, I was earning that new position, so I was a little unconfident, a little unsure about some things. Going in this year you just have to go out there with confidence and work and be more physical than I was last year."

On the lack of experience on the offensive line:
"You've got Mitch Morse, Connor McGovern, who started last year, and me that are really going to anchor down the offensive line this year. You have Anthony Gatti who is a redshirt senior that's been around the program for a while. You have Mitch Hall who is a transfer from Ole Miss that sat out a year, but has had a couple years to learn the program, step in at the two-guard spots. They've done a great job this offseason and the spring of learning the offense, everything to do and how we do it on the offensive line."

On the date he's most ready for:
"August 3 when we report for camp, that's the first day I'm looking forward to. You really can't circle, in the SEC, you found this out in the first two years that we've been here. You can't circle that one game, it's going to be every single game that you have to circle and be ready for because we're in the best conference. You have to get ready for each and every game when we're out there and that's what we're doing. We're buying into a program that Coach Pinkel has and the coaching staff has. We're going out there and we're going to play Missouri Tiger football."
