Depth Chart

[utisdabomb12]

Based on the depth chart from OB. 

QB: Swoopes (SO), Heard (FR)---------------------young as hell. 

RB: Brown(SR), Gray (JR), Foreman (FR), Catalon (FR)---------------------experienced on the front end. 

WR: Shipley (SR), Harris (SR), Johnson (JR), Joe (FR), Formeman (FR), Warrick (SO), Daje (JR), Templin (SO)--------------experienced but this is deceptive. Foreman, Warrick and Joe are getting a lot of snaps. Many more snaps than I expected. 

TE: Swaim (SR), McFarland (JR), Daniels (SR), Beck (FR)--------------experienced 

O-Line: Hutchins (JR), James (FR), Hughes (SO), Flowers (JR), Mcmillon (FR), Perkins (SO), Rodriguez (FR), Doyle (JR), Raulerson (FR), Cuney (FR)--------------------young as hell 

D-line: Reed (SR),  Cottrell (SO), Brown (JR), Ridgeway (SO), Ford (FR), Boyette (SO), Norman (SO), Hughes (FR), Bluiett (SO), Davis (JR)----------------------Much younger than I thought. Starting a FR and SO on the D-line, and several FR and SO are getting reps. 

LB: Jinkens (JR), Jackson (SR), Hicks (SR/will most likely return though), Cobbs (SR), Cole (SO), Edmond (SR), Santos (JR)-------------------our most experienced unit overall IMO.

Secondary: Diggs (SR), Davis (FR), Roberts (FR), Thomas (JR), Echols (SO), Bonney (FR), Colbert (SO), Haines (SO), Thompson (SR), Hall (FR), Turner (SR)------------------------Like the D-line we are much younger here than I thought. Especially at safety. Haines, Hall, and Colbert have been getting a lot of reps back there recently. 

A couple things stand out to me-1) I had no clue we were as young as we were in the secondary/D-line respectively. We have some experience on both levels, but the two deep is actually very young. 2) I hope Hicks is coming back, because we lose a lot at LB. 3) When you see it on paper it makes much more sense why our offense is bipolar. My goodness our O-line and QBs are not experienced.

Here's my guesses for the 2015 depth chart, how do you think it shapes out? 

QB: Swoopes 
RB: Gray 
WR: Marcus Johnson 
WR: Daje Johnson 
WR: Foreman 
TE: McFarland
OT: Harrison (if he's still on the team but I think he's getting a RS this year)
OT: Hughes
OG: Flowers
OG: Perkins
C: Doyle

2nd unit: 

QB: Heard
RB: Split time between Foreman, Catalon and a FR. 
WR: Joe
WR: Warrick
WR: Oliver (heard he's started to look good in practice)
TE: Beck (don't think he's moving back to LB the way he's apparently looked in practice)
OT: James
OT: Hutchins (this could end up being a JUCO guy if we get one)
OG: Anderson
OG: Rodriguez
C: Raulerson 

The only wildcards on offense is what happens with Harrison and Espinosa. If those two guys are back next year they will probably both be starters, and that will shift the O-line. I'm iffy on Espinosa coming back, think there's a decent chance Harrison is back next year. Both FBs will also be back next year in De La Torre and Cruciani. 

DE: Hughes
DE: Bluiett
DT: Jackson
DT: Ridgeway
LB: Hicks
LB: Santos
LB: Jinkens
CB: Thomas
CB: Evans
S: Hall
S: Haines

2nd unit:

DE: Roberson
DE: Davis
DT: Ford
DT: Nelson
LB: Cole
LB: Freeman
LB: FR/JUCO/Transfer
S: Colbert
S: Elliott (reminds me of Hall)
CB: Roberts
CB: Davis
