Why is Jonah so low in depth chart can he not win that starting job? Or at least play a good portion of the game

He missed all of spring practice and wasn't cleared from his shoulder surgery until a few weeks ago.

I didn’t realize how many monsters we have at DT. Dominating the line of scrimmage really trickles down to the rest of the defense. Not only can they stop the run, but it will free up pass rushers and prevent WRs from having enough time to get open.

Zina is above 270 … he is big

Davis ahead of Hicks is eye opening. Is Davis that good or is Hicks slower than expected??

Why would he be high on it? What’s he done? Nothing. Stupid question.

I know the reports from the spring seemed good on Rocky Cummings, but I haven’t heard much more about him. Saw he was a backup to Biles. Any update on his development?

I was thinking the same things. Hick reclassified but was a borderline 5 star if he stayed in high school an extra year.

Does the WR depth chart actually matter? Seems to me it's :

1. Coleman

2. Wingo

3. Mosely

4. Bishop

5. McCutchen

6. Berkhalter

7. Locket (Personally I think he'll be WR 5 by the start of the season)

8. Brown

9. Stewart

 

Wouldn't they just go to the next guy on the list rather than utilizing the XYZ positions?

He’s the #2 WLB, and that’s exactly where a freshman with his frame and athletic profile should be. He hasn’t fallen off, he hasn’t been passed, and he hasn’t done anything to change his trajectory --- He's just stuck behind a dude playing at a legit high‑end SEC level right now.

He’s fine ... and you don't hear much about him because Biles is having the kind of camp where coaches talk about him unprompted. When a veteran is balling out, the backup - especially a freshman - disappears from the headlines. He’s long, rangy, athletic, and exactly what you want at WLB. But he’s still learning Run fits, How to take on an SEC OL, How to play fast and right.....That stuff just doesn’t generate daily hype.

Yeah, I’m with you. The listed WR depth chart doesn’t really matter in Sark’s offense. They don’t treat X/Y/Z as rigid spots ... they just roll out the best three for the concept. Coleman/Wingo/Mosely are your top group, then Bishop/McCutchen/Lockett depending on package. If someone goes down, they’re not checking a positional chart, they’re just grabbing the next best guy.

WR depth chart is mostly for show. Sark plays the best three, not the next name on an X/Z/H line.  very good point.
