The Western Michigan Broncos have two positions without massive personnel turnover. The Broncos lose nine of eleven defensive starters from the previous season, their top two running backs and their top wide receiver. They don’t lose any of their quarterbacks and return 45 of 60 starts on the offensive line.
There are many question marks around the Western Michigan offense, but the quality of the offensive line is the most clear. No offensive starters have been named publicly in fall camp, but five offensive linemen return with at least six starts in 2023.
Dylan Deatherage is the only player that graduated from last season’s offensive line and is a big loss.
