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

[Burnt Orange Horn]

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.

I see some people have poor reading comprehension when it comes to the note about LG and why it's listed like that lol. Also, don't downplay guys like Chatman or Sikorski. They're not going to just hand Seymore the job.

Not sure if anyone knows the answer to this but is Berkhalter out of eligibility after this year or because of 5 for 5 he'll have another year next year? If he can come back, with Lockett, McHutechon, Bishop, etc. Hell even Mosley if he doesn't have the year he wants. Sets a good floor for your WR room going into next year.

Anyway, thanks again Jeff.

Hicks missed most of spring practice.

Also, not t hat I think they could keep them all around but a duo of Cooper and Simon next with Terry as the 3rd back would be an interesting set up. I know Simon is buried on the depth chart and a possible portal candidate in the off-season, but I liked what I saw from him last year.

Fantastic Texas roster/depth chart that is talented, healthy (🤞) and deep!

The established starter is absolutely set at many positions.

However, a few positions look much more competitive and somewhat undecided.

All I ask for is real competition at any undecided positions.

Texas should start or give the most snaps to the players that give us the best chance to win. I hope we start the dogs that play the best and earn it in the Texas heat of fall camp.  

In some competitions, it may be a heavy situational and merit based rotation to stay fresh and healthy once the season starts.

Expect we further refine our depth chart and rotations as the season progresses. 

This team has a rare and special opportunity. 

TEXAS FIGHT! 🏈 🤘
