Cal’s offensive line is expected to be led by the senior trio of Dominic Galas, Brian Schwenke and Matt Summers-Gavin that has combined to start 63 games in their Cal careers, including 38 of a possible 39 last season. Summers-Gavin, who is expected to start at the right tackle position and protect left handed quar- terback Zach Maynard’s blindside, is Cal’s active career leader with 25 starts. He has been the most decorated member of the team’s offensive line prior to the 2012 campaign, receiving first-team preseason All-Pac-12 honors from Phil Steele and Blue Ribbon, as well as a second-team nod by Athlon and a third-team selection by Lindy’s. He is also on the watch list for the Outland Trophy recognizing college football’s top interior lineman on either side of the ball. In addition, he is the team’s top candidate for the prestigious Campbell Trophy and Lowe’s Senior Class Award. Schwenke, a second-team preseason All- Pac-12 selection of Lindy’s and Steele, is also a national honors candidate that is expected to move to center this season to play the position for the first time in his Cal career after spending the last three campaigns as a guard. His 24 career starts are one behind Summers-Gavin.

Coleman and Tipoti have received Cal’s top preseason honors on the defensive side of the ball with first-team All-Pac-12 selections, while Tipoti is also on the watch list for the prestigious Outland Trophy honoring college football’s top interior lineman on either side of the ball. Cal has lost five defensive linemen to the NFL in the last three seasons, including back-to-back first- round draft picks in Tyson Alualu and in the 2010 and 2011 drafts, but still figures to be solid up front and have lots of depth with all but two players returning from last year’s squad. “Defensive line is a position where it’s critical to have a lot of depth and we feel like we do,” Tedford said. “It’s great to be able to substitute and keep people fresh and not have a great deal of falloff when you change personnel. We have many players that can step in and produce and make a strong impact this year.” Indeed, the Bears have all three of their top nose guards back from last year in seniors Ken- drick Payne and Aaron Tipoti, and sophomore Viliami Moala.
