I said I was going to make a fanpost and I have done it This one is about what I feel will be the starting depth chart from 2014 based on what I think about the individuals. I did not include the multitude of walk ons or people who played in 1 game 2 years ago or whatnot. So here it is.
Quarterback |
Bo Wallace (6’4 – 203 lb) |
DeVante Kincade (6’0-200 lbs) or Ryan Buchanan (6’3 - 201 lbs)
|
Unless Bo mentally/physically goes backwards, I think he is it next year. Between Kincade and Buchanan, I do not yet see a clear leader, but I do think both have situations in which case they would excel and get playing time.
***Kendrick Doss (6’0 -215 lbs)
*** redshirt him, unless he happens to be magical talent.
Halfback |
Jaylen Walton (5’8 – 166 lb) |
I’tavius Mathers (5’11- 187 lbs) |
|
Mark Dodson (5’11 – 198 lbs) |
|
Jordan Wilkins* (6’1- 209 lb) |
|
Eugene Brazley (5’9 – 183 lb) |
|
Akeem Judd (5’11-219 lbs) * |
|
Kailo Moore (5’10-184 lbs) |
We got a whole flock of running backs. I think Mathers and Walton will again be the main ones, considering they have the most experience. I think there will be packages for Dodson, Brazley, and Moore (unless he goes to CB) and they will also get some snaps in relief in easier non-conference games. I think Judd and Wilkins will be the big juicy ones they call on when it is 3rd and short to get the small yards, and I also think some packages will be made for them.
I'd like to see Jeremy Liggins at the FB position with one of the big running backs behind him.
I also think that if Jordan Wilkins ends up being really good we should redshirt Judd so we can save him for later.
WR1 |
Laquon Treadwell (6’2- 224 lb) |
Rotational receivers Quintavius Burdette (5’11 – 183 lbs) Collins Moore (6’1 – 205 lbs) Markell Pack (6’2-180 lbs.)*** Dayall Harris (6’4 - 185 lbs)***
|
WR2 |
Vincent Sanders (6’1 – 182 lbs) |
|
WR3 |
Quincy Adeboyejo (6’3- 189 lbs) |
|
WR4 |
Cody Core (6’3- 196 lb) |
|
WR5 |
Quadarias Mireles (5’11 – 189 lbs) |
Out of our receivers, I think Treadwell and Sanders and Adeboyejo may be the best 3 of them. I do believe they will be in the three spots I outlined above. Cody Core can make catches so I would have him in the rotation, as well as having Mireles who we got last year. Out of the relief receivers, I would add the first two into the rotation for the non-conference games or in relief and with the last two, I would redshirt them if they did not have magical talent to address a need immediately.
LT |
Laremy Tunsil (6’5 315 lbs) |
Daronte Bouldin (6’5 – 333 lbs) |
|
LG |
Aaron Morris (6’5 – 355 lb) |
Davion Johnson (6’4 – 309 lb) |
|
C |
Robert Conyers (6’5 -295 lb) OR Ben Still (6’3 – 292) |
Robert Conyers (6’5 -295 lb) OR Ben Still (6’3 – 292) |
Justin Bell (6’2 -353) |
RG |
Justin Bell (6’2 – 353) or Rod Taylor (6’3- 305 lb) |
Justin Bell (6’2 – 353) or Rod Taylor (6’3- 305 lb) |
|
RT |
Austin Golson (6’5 – 309 lb) |
Fahn Cooper (6’5 – 314 lbs.) |
|
***Sean Rawlings (6’5 – 285 lbs)- C ***Tyler Putman (6’5 – 280 lbs ) OT *** Jordan Sims (6’4-345 lbs) OG |
Laremy Tunsil is very, very good. End
Aaron Morris is very, very good, as well. And did I mention he was big and juicy. Look at the size. He also has much experience from Freeze's first year.
At the center position, I think, even though Justin Bell is getting a try at it, it will come down to Conyers and Still. I think they will fight over it and it will come down to who has the most athletic ability at it. I do wish either one of them were bigger, though.
I think Justin Bell or Rod Taylor will fight over the RG position. Bell has played there and Taylor was recruited at guard. I think Bell edges out Taylor due to experience level but I expect to see Taylor do it in relief.
At the right tackle position, I think Golson will edge out Cooper if he can get healthy, but I expect both to get a bit of time there.
Bouldin and Johnson may get a few snaps but since they are relatively inexperienced they should be eased in slowly. Starting them may not do that.
Those three men *** I think we should redshirt unless the whole damn line goes down with injury.
Tight End |
*Jeremy Liggins (6’3 -296 lb) or/and Nicholas Parker (6’0 – 248 lbs) |
Evan Engram (6’3-217 lbs) or/and Sammie Epps (6’3 – 210 lbs) |
If it was a passing situation, I would put in Engram and Epps because they are long, rangy men who can catch and move fast. If it was a blocking situation, I would put in Liggins at TE since he is so big and athletic so he can probably block. I could see Channing Ward being on the other end of the line, but I went with Nick Parker because he's played there before.
I will do the defense one maybe tomorrow.
