Grade A beef isn’t just reserved for the midwest<\/a>, the deep south<\/a>, or even the Lone Star State<\/a>. The ACC has plenty of offensive line talent that will catch the attention of ACC defensive coordinators. It has already started to grab the attention of NFL scouts. So who makes the cut to be part of the best ACC offensive linemen returning to college football in 2022?<\/p>\n

Best ACC Offensive Linemen Returning For 2022<\/h2>\n

Fifth Best:\u00a0DJ Scaife – Miami<\/h3>\n

Miami\u2019s most experienced lineman (39 starts, 2,943 snaps) is DJ Scaife<\/a>. He enters the 2022 season with a consecutive starts streak of 31 games. Scaife is the top returning pass blocker in the ACC according to PFF. Which position he will play for Mario Cristobal<\/strong> still remains to be seen. Scaife has spent time both at guard and tackle with the Hurricanes. Cristobal has a reputation for wanting to dominate the line of scrimmage. The former Hurricane offensive linemen know that if he is to bring “The U back”, it is going to start with players like Scaife anchoring the offensive attack.<\/p>\n

Fourth Best:\u00a0Carter Warren – Pitt<\/h3>\n

The Pitt Panthers had a banner season in 2021, which included the best offense in school history. But with the departure of their offensive coordinator Mark Whipple<\/strong>, Biletnikoff award-winning wide receiver Jordan Addison<\/a>, and a new quarterback under center, there is reason to think Pitt will take a step back in the ACC pecking order. However, having Carter Warren<\/a> back on the offensive line is a big piece to maintaining their high level of play. Warren was also a second-team All-ACC selection, who is bringing 35 starts worth of game experience back. He will anchor an offensive unit that still returns eight starters on the offensive side of the ball.<\/p>\n
