LaMoure's Michael Arndt Battling For Tackle Spot

The Forum's Jeff Kolpack put together a story taking a look at the starting situation for the NDSU football team.

On the offensive line, center Zach Harrington is back for his senior year and should help make the transition of a new quarterback that much easier. A lot of times that relationship between center and QB gets overlooked, but I can tell you from first-hand knowledge, if there isn't a good chemistry a play can fall apart before it ever begins.

Every center/QB exchange holds the potential for a fumble, and every time it is successful you never really notice. But that is what I always liked about offensive lineman. They just go out and do their job. Doing their job means they likely don't get recognized, and they are cool with that.

Michael Arndt, a product of LaMoure, is one of three being looked at for the tackle position. Arndt is a giant guy - he goes about 6-6 or 6-7 and when he was in high school was somewhere around 260 or 270. I would have to think the Bison lifting programs have added another 15-25 pounds of muscle to that frame. Needless to say, he would make for an imposing precense on the offensive line. I did a feature story on him when he was playing for the Loboes and really enjoyed his sense of humor. I'm pulling for him.
