Commits are picking up....time to get this rolling. This is not a depth chart. This is just a scholarship placeholder to where you'll see new commits creating depth for each position. Star will pull from a DB/LB

using a 4-2+star-4 defense

It would all look better in a ScotchoLibre format but I don't have time for it.

QB
Michael Van Buren jr
Ju’Juan Johnson jr

RB
Caden Durham jr
Kaleb Jackson sr
Harlem Berry so

Aaron Anderson jr

Nice. But a bunch of your listed players will be in their rookie year in 2026.

It is now 2025, and the current transfer portal adds an interesting twist each year.

There is no way for me to guess on who will play more than four games next year. So for now, all True Frosh are frosh on this list.

And on this board, when you decide that T Keys will play but J Mack won't, the thread gets inflamed with ppl that think they know more than anyone else. I've been doing this for about fifteen years, here.

They will get pissed that there is no nickel, star or that there is a 4-3. It's not worth trying to guess the majorities' opinion and so you just go with it. All frosh this year will be sophs next year until I know better. I will concede that there may be mistakes.....that's fine. I will correct.

He's not saying any of that at all lol. He's saying you have guys on there that are likely NFL rookies.

Aaron Anderson is a redshirt junior and if he does nothing but what he did last season in 13, games to, let's say 15 games (SECCG 2 playoff games), it would be 1020 yards and 6 TDs.

Same for Whit Weeks. If he averages the same just in 2 more games, you're talking about 144 tackles, 11.5 TFL, 4 sacks, 2 FF, 1 int

Braelin Moore is a redshirt junior now. He started 2 years at Virginia Tech. If he starts a full season here (15 games), you're talking 39 career starts and 43 games played in. If he's projected top 4 rounds, I think he bolts.

I personally have Nic Anderson projected with 700 yards and 6 TDs. He should have left after last season if he didn't get hurt. I think he leaves as a redshirt junior, with those numbers. Remember, Nuss will be gone too.

Lsu needs to try to grab that juco de, he was trending to lsu early. With Gabe and carpenter being Jr's next year. He can give much needed depth

Nice work. Sydir Mitchell and Stamps are gone.

I didn't realize we could actually have decent WR experience next year depending on who comes back. I assumed they were pretty much all seniors.

We’re in big time trouble if Weston Davis is playing left tackle.
