We are in the “meat” of the offseason right now. With the start of spring practice right around the corner and the Orange and Blue Debut (Spring Game) roughly 5 weeks away, I thought it would be nice to post a “Early March Depth Chart Projection”.
Now this is only a rough “guess-timate” on how this team will look for a depth standpoint in August.
Offense-
QB: RS Jr. Jeff Driskel/Fr. Will Grier
RB: So. Kelvin Taylor/RS Jr. Matt Jones
LT: RS Sr. Max Garcia/Jr. DJ Humphries
LG: Jr. Trip Thurman/Fr. David Sharpe
C: R So. Chaz Green/R Fr.. Octavius Jackson
RG: R Jr. Tyler Moore/Fr. David Sharpe
RT: Sr. Trenton Brown/Jr. Drew Sarvary
TE: Sr. Clay Burton/Fr. DeAndre Goolsby
FB: Sr. Hunter Joyer/R Sr. Gideon Ajagbe
WR: Sr. Quinton Dunbar/So. Ahmad Fullwood/So. Demarcus Robinson/R Sr. Andre Debose/Jr. Latroy Pittman/So. Chris Thompson
Defense-
DE: R So. Bryan Cox Jr./Fr. Gerald Willis
DT: R Sr. Leon Orr/RS Fr. Caleb Brantley
DT: Jr. Jonathan Bullard/R Fr. Jay-Nard Bostwick
Buck: Jr. Dante Fowler/R So. Alex McCalister
SLB: R Sr. Neiron Ball/R Fr. Matt Rolin
MLB: R Sr. Michael Taylor/Jr. Antonio Morrison
WLB: So. Jarrad Davis/So. Alex Anzalone
CB: So. Vernon Hargreaves III/Jr. Brian Poole/Fr. Jalen Tabor/Sr. Jabari Gorman
FS: R SO. Marcus Maye/R Fr. Keanu Neal
SS: R Fr. Marcell Harris/Fr. Duke Dawson
Special Teams-
P: Sr. Kyle Christy/So. Johnny Townsend
K: R So. Austin Hardin/R Fr. Danny Krysalka
KOR: R Sr. Andre Debose/So. Vernon Hargreaves III
PR: So. Vernon Hargreaves/R Jr. Valdez Showers
Seeing Hargreaves returning kicks and punts sure makes me nervous. An injury to him would be devastating.
With that our strength coach we need to be worried.
Not sure about Tyler Moore starting over Humphries. But hey, it’s Joey’s list, not mine.
I think Treon Harris will get the backup spot this year. With his skill set he will have a package built just for him. Roper ran a two QB system at Duke, I think we’ll see the same at Florida. Grier has to get his weight up. I heard he’s gained 10 lbs since he arrived but that wont cut it in the SEC. I do think Grier is the future but next year I hope he redshirts to gain some weight.
I think Grier will get it, at least initially. Rumors are he’s bulked up at least a little bit. I doubt he redshirts next year; Harris is probably the one who will get the redshirt.
