Looking at our returning players, ignoring for now jucos or grad transfers who aren't even offered yet. This is how I see the two deep.

SDE Byers, Turner
NT Whiteside, Thompson
DT Elliot, Daniels
WDE Jeffcoat, Hansford
MLB Garrett, Brooks
SLB Bolton, Miller
WLB/NB Perkins, Bailey
CB Acy, Petry
S Gillespie, Williams
S Bledsoe, Oliver
CB Holmes, Ware

Obviously the RS freshman and early enrollees could step in front of some starters with good spring and fall camps. Hopefully Jalani Williams, Hansford and Jeffcoat do. The interesting question for me is if a Nathan or Wilkins will move to DE like a Golden or Abigsmere with the lack of depth there assuming Tre doesn't return. Then also some have mentioned Parker moving back but he's your second best option at TE. We are really hoping for a Graves or someone like him to transfer at DE but I've heard grades are an issue there unless something changes.
