PrintWith less than five days left until the season opener against Notre Dame, Skip Holtz has finally released the first depth chart of the fall. Opinons and comments after the jump:
OFFENSE:
QB: B.J. Daniels, Bobby Eveld
RB: Darrell Scott or Demetris Murray
WR: A.J. Love, Stephen Bravo-Brown
WR: Sterling Griffin, Deonte Welch
WR: Joel Miller, Victor Marc
TE: Evan Landi, Andreas Shields
LT: Mark Popek, Darren Powe
LG: Jeremiah Warren, Tony Kibler
RG: Danous Estenor, Kevin McCaskill
RT: Quinterrius Eatmon, Damien Edwards
DEFENSE:
DE: Patrick Hampton, Anthony Hill
DT: Cory Grissom, Elkino Watson
ST: Keith McCaskill, Luke Sager
DE: Ryne Giddins, JuJu Forte
SAM: Reshard Cliett, Curtis Weatherspoon
MIKE: Sam Barrington, Mike Lanaris
WILL: DeDe Lattimore, Mike Jeune
CB: Quenton Washington, JaQuez Jenkins
FS: Jerrell Young, Mark Joyce
SS: Jon LeJiste, Tyson Butler
CB: Kayvon Webster, Ernie Tabuteau
SPECIALISTS:
P: Justin Brockhaus-Kann, Mattias Ciabatti
KOS: Marvin Kloss
KR: Lindsey Lamar
- Not surprised about Scott and Murray being listed as co-starters for the opener. I think they'll work as a solid 1-2 punch for the first couple of series until the staff can see who has the hot hand.
- Little shocked that Evan Landi is already the starter at TE. I know that he was an excellent blocker, but for him to already jump Shields and Isaac Virgin says a lot about Landi's ability to pick up his new position quickly.
- How in the world is Joel Miller starting at the slot?
- There were talks about moving Barrington to SAM, but I'm happy that Cliett is getting the nod. He's had an excellent spring and fall camp and deserves the chance to start.
- What does it say to the rest of our cornerback crop that JaQuez Jenkins is already on the two-deep. Maybe Jenkins' ability to play corner is a reason Skip thinks he can possibly redshirt Kenneth Durden.
- Looks like the wondermullet got Tony Kibler on the two-deep. I wonder what other powers it has?
- Not surprised at all about Elkino Watson breaking the two-deep, but who had Mattias Ciabatti as the other true freshman on the depth chart?
What do you guys think? Any concerns as we head towards the season opener?

I guess catching that slant against Miami carried a lot of leeway.
I still have to figure Lamar will see as much time, if not more, in the slot as Miller. He’s like our version of Dexter McCluster. Technically he’s a RB on the depth chart, but I just can’t see him being on the field less than Miller.
those wide receivers
still make me slightly nervous. i was kind of hoping to see a totally revamped two deep from last year’s group and having miller and bravo-brown there isn’t nearly as encouraging as say, davis and mitchell, or even lamar

I think Ruben and Andre are both #3 at Flanker and Split End

I agree
It is worrisome but all of the WRs have been fighting for playing time this off season so everyone should be improved. Bravo-Brown did gain weight so hopefully it’s all muscle and he’s faster. He kinda reminds me of Marcus Edwards.
It would be more exciting to see the high speed guys in there on the 2-deep (Mitchell, Lamar, Hopkins), but I’m not entirely convinced this is the true 2-deep. Maybe these guys just have really good hands, but I don’t see Bravo-Brown or Joel Miller running around anyone.
