(Note: Bold names indicate projected lock)
Offense:
QB: Cook / Horn
RB: Carroll/Noel
X: Wease/Speedy
Y: Cooper/ Blood
Z: Burden/Miller
LT: Green/Reichert or Richardson
LG: Reichert/Tristan Wilson
C: Tollison/Heismeyer
RG: Cam Johnson/Tristan Wilson
RT: Membou/Mitch Walters or Richardson
TE: Norfleet/ Hoerstkamp or Jordon Harris
Offensively the obvious big question mark still is at left guard and the offensive line depth in general. This could all be changed if we bring in another potential transfer at the position or at tackle and moving Membou to Right Guard.
Other than that we return almost everyone from last years team besides maybe Tyler Stephens who I project to leave.
Defense:
DE: Walker/Moore
DT: K Williams/Hastings
DT: McClellan/ Webb
DE: Smith/ Nwaneri or Firestone
LB: Newsom/ Potentially a freshman
LB: Hicks or Flagg
STAR: Carnell/ S Williams
CB: Pride/ McNeil
S: Burks or Roche
S: Charleston/ T Johnson
CB: Norwood/ Clarke
Lots of new names on the defensive line and it’s going to be interesting to see how they fit in the pecking order. In any case though 8-10 guys should see the field from that group and we’ve done a fairly good job at replacing talent.
Linebacker has 3 know quality options available and not very much proven depth behind them. Potentially a spot to look at another depth transfer.
The defensive back room brings back potentially up to 6 major contributors from last year and 2 tantalizing freshmen after sending 3 guys to the league. Biggest question to me is who starts at safety opposite Charleston.
