We need a backup center and can you learn the position playing guard?

FWIW - At this level, he knows the position but needs to learn the playbook and needs to gain the confidence and familiarity of the entire line as the center is the cornerstone. He will also be replacing the leader of our O-Line... Getting some XP at both Guard positions during camp will help his familiarity with every piece of that O-Line and get some elbow to elbow time across the entire front.

As a backup you want him as versatile as possible and our Guards go down more than our Centers..
