Depth Chart prediction next year without freshman/including draft eligible juniors

QB:Etling, Harris, McMillan, Scott
RB:Guice, Williams, Brosette, Ducre
FB:Moore, Mouton, Gallman
X Receiver: (Dupre), Anderson, J.Ferguson, Sullivan
Z Receiver: Chark, Davis
(Y) Slot Receiver: Gage/Dillon
TE: Moreau, Roddy, Pettigrew (DeSean Smith role), Washington
LT:Malone/Okeke, Allen
LG:Teuhema, Dodd/Campbell
C:Clapp, Dodd, Cushenberry
RG:Brumfield, Dodd/Campbell, Magee
RT:Weathersby, Okeke/Allen, Savage

OLB:Key, Andre Anthony/Sci Martin, MJ Patterson
DE:Herron, Clark, G. Logan
NT:E. Alexander, Valentine, Gilmore
DE:(Godchaux), Lawrence, Glen Logan, I. Washington
OLB:Ike Washington, Divnity/Thornton
ILB: Devin White, Voorhies, Garnett/Rucker
ILB: Corey Thompson/D. Alexander, Thornton

CB:Fulton/S. Smith, Paris
SS:Monroe, Paris (could move to safety), X. Lewis
FS:Cam Lewis/Battle, X. Lewis
CB:Tolliver, D. Jackson/Greedy Williams
Nickel:Donte Jackson, X. Lewis/S. Smith

P:Growden
K:Culp
KOS:Gamble
PR:Donte Jackson, Dillon
KR:Donte Jackson, Chark, Drake Davis/Dillon

Now, obviously we don't know exactly what type of offense we'll have...but it'll sure to have spread concepts. This is why I listed a three WR set. This goes for QB as well...it's definitely going to be an open battle/has to a lot with the offense we run.

I for one do not believe Godchaux will be back...but I just listed him anyway. Dupre in my opinion is a coin flip at this point if he comes back or not.

Of course this depth chart does not include freshman...but there will be many that hit campus pushing for starting roles/major playing time

Would not surprise me to see Saivion at safety or nickel. I think Jackson will stay outside for the most part. Monroe and Lewis will definitely mix it up at safety. I think Fulton/Tolliver will be a huge battle for meaningful playing time. Donnie Alexander has to be an outside guy in my opinion.

Looks pretty good. Give me Davis in the slot though.

We need some inside linebackers fast. Otherwise, I think we'll be alright. Anxious to see what Campbell and Okeke will do.

Great point. I definitely think Saivion to safety has potential, but I would be more in favor of Paris to safety. I think Donte would be a stud at nickel, as well as Saivion. I also think Fulton & Tolliver are our best cover corners. Tolliver just needs to work on getting head around & needs to be more a aggresive tackler.

Donnie Alexander should be rotated at inside and outside till they figure out what's best. If he puts some weight on in the offseason he could probably play both & be a true hybrid.

Drake Davis would be a monster in the slot as well...by I think you could put that guy anywhere honestly. He's a freak

I agree. I think Ike Washington is going to be a beast too. I think he starts next year opposite of Key, dude is a baller. Plays with a chip on his shoulder

It doesn't look like he's coming back next year...as he partcipated in senior day against Florida. In my opinion, it's a poor move. He really needed to come back for a year & the team would benefit greatly from having him.
But, nothing is official yet...so we shall see

"Now, obviously we don't know exactly what type of offense we'll have...but it'll sure to have spread concepts."

Now this is what caught my attention today at O's presser. I thought he was a pro set guy and then he stated he wanted to go to the spread.

Dylan Moses has a chance of playing immediately if he comes here.

Not happening. They already tried Clapp at center and it was a bad fit. Not everybody is comfortable snapping the ball and that's okay. Dodd will be a solid center at minimum, but has potential to be good and Cushenberry has gotten rave reviews.

Overall I think our O line will be better next year. We've had a lot of underclassmen who will be upperclassman. Plus injuries that set us back.

What happened with ed Paris? He was a stud recruit and hasn't done much. Hopefully we can use his experience in some way at safety or nickel corner. That talents gotta translate somehow

Looks pretty good. A lot of guys coming back that have experience. Depth everywhere except lb. Beckwith and AdaMs replacements are key next year.
