Projected 2023 Depth Chart-Thoughts?

Might happen, but I would be surprised if we start two true frosh at CB.

Nico starts at QB

 

[Volanooga2521]

It's because of the lack of speed at the position. They are afraid of them getting beat deep

Exactly, watch Matthews, Gibson, and Conyer’s Hudl tape. They are way faster than our current CBs.

Might happen, but I would be surprised if we start two true frosh at CB.

Based on how we've played this year, what do we have to lose? My concern would be creating a confidence issue with a true freshman. They might make mistakes, but we'll be much better athletically. I'd rather see a true freshman at corner than at QB.

 

[Bloodrunsorange27]

My thoughts:
QB - I think Nico will start if not by game 1 then likely by mid-season
RB - I think Sampson could be RB1 by start of season
WR - I think we will sign a portal WR who will come in and start and maybe 2 WRs
Secondary: I think we will bring in some new starters or at least in rotation from portal

He participated in Senior Day

 

[CAVPUT]

Once again, I'd prefer to try and get a starter at CB, OT and QB for next year. One year rental is fine with me. Might have numbers and youth at those spots now, but I don't have a lot of confidence in where we are at the moment.

 

[cgrish]

Dang you've got two freshman starting at corner? lol that'll be interesting to watch.

And didn't Jaylen McCullough start this season, I'd expect him to start opposite Slaughter.

He may have started but we really didn't do that well at that position.

It's because of the lack of speed at the position. They are afraid of them getting beat deep

But we were getting beat, on both short and long passes, too much cushion that we are giving up.

Not happening. Herre to put on muscle/ weight before competing

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Jacon Warren is gone, really need to stop including in 2023 Depth Charts

That's not confirmed. Rumored by VQ who has since backtracked.

Warren needs another year to work on pass catching and hone his trade. He's good enough now to get picked up by a practice squad but not yet draft worthy. Another year and he probably will be draftable.

 

[NighthawkVol]

That didn’t help

Alontae Taylor and Bryce Thompson as true freshman were both better than anything we had at CB last year. Pruitt’s failure as a coach isn’t the point.

 

[NighthawkVol]

Warren needs another year to work on pass catching and hone his trade. He's good enough now to get picked up by a practice squad but not yet draft worthy. Another year and he probably will be draftable.

I’m not sure the NFL is his goal.

The early speculation was that he’s moving on from football. If he returns, that was obviously unfounded. Not everybody gets a shot at the NFL…maybe he’s good with that.

 

[37620VOL]

Banks isn't coming back

Where's he going to go?

 

[Vfl2407]

Where's he going to go?

Anger management classes?

 

[NighthawkVol]

Where's he going to go?

A small fishing village on the coast of Maine. His dream is to own his own fishing boat, spend his days on the water, and live the life of a fisherman while writing fiction. He’s always been inspired by Hemingway.

 

[Jxn Vol]

With the solid front 7 depth one would think we could find 4 dudes to knock down a pass every so often.

I do not want to see Hadden on the field ever again. Play the freshman if they are better.

The South Carolina game hurt me in ways that I can’t explain. Start the talent and screw the experience. Because the experience sucks.

 

[Deathandtaxes]

I think Walker Merrill was a stud WR when he was on the field this year. He may not start, but he'll be the 2nd guy up. And he'll ball out.

Keep waiting to see what he does…. Dude seems legit.

 

[Smokymtnbullet]

Where's he going to go?

East West Shrine game first and then testing waters for NFL

 

[Memvol44]

No way in hell they start 2 freshman corners

Is Mays gone??

 

[EastTNVol423]

0% chance we start 2 true freshman CBs

I think Trevor Duncan will be listed as DT or DE instead of OT. He was recruited by Rodney Gardner.

 

[farmdogvol]

Is Mays gone??

He will be back for at least one more year.

 

[Hens67]

I think Trevor Duncan will be listed as DT or DE instead of OT. He was recruited by Rodney Gardner.

Elarbee was primary per 247
