The Advocate is having me pick out four position battles for a camp preview package that will run Sunday. I chose defensive end, left offensive tackle, running back and split end. Dontrell HIlliard will start at running back, but I listed it because of the uncertainty behind at a spot where four will play and the backs averaged 33 carries last year. I left out the battle between Leeward Brown and John Washington at right guard because I didn't think they would want two offensive line positions.

Tulane listed Jacob Robertson ahead of Jabril Clewis at split end, Peter Woullard as the starting DE, Keyshawn McLeod ahead of Tyler Johnson at left tackle and Brown ahead of Washington at right guard at the end of drills.

I expect Clewis and Tyler Johnson to start, although left tackle is beyond scary. Johnson was awful in the spring game, but he was playing through a bad shoulder. If Leeward Brown is in shape, he should hold off John Washington, but is he in shape?
