With less than two weeks remaining before the start of the college football season, beefing up the depth along the offensive line remains a primary concern for the University of South Florida.

Kevin McCaskill always figured to be part of the solution. Now, though, it seems it could be on multiple fronts.

McCaskill, a fifth-year senior competing for playing time at center, has been taking plenty of reps lately at guard. He has drawn praise from USF coaches for his work there, and if he’s able to continue to progress, his versatility could help answer some of the questions remaining up front for the Bulls.

“Kevin McCaskill has done a really nice job,” coach Skip Holtz said following the team’s most recent scrimmage. “Kevin McCaskill is a guy that’s starting to really elevate himself to start playing at that level. He’s a guy that I really see starting to emerge.”
