IT'S HAPPENING!!! Fall Camp Thread

[Texasmade]

 

You guys know the drill. Start dates, position battles, projected depth charts, etc. etc. 

[JammerHammer21]

My guess for depth chart:

 

QB: Wilton Speight // Brandon Peters

RB: Chris Evans // Karan Higdon

FB: Khalid Hill // Henry Poggi

WR1: Kekoa Crawford // Donovan Peoples-Jones

WR2: Tarik Black // Nate Schoenle

Slot: Grant Perry (sus.) // Eddie McDoom

TE1: Ian Bunting // Sean McKeon

TE2: Tyrone Wheatley Jr. // Nick Eubanks

LT: Mason Cole // Juwan Bushell-Beatty

LG: Ben Bredeson // Nolan Ulizio

C: Patrick Kugler // Cesar Ruiz

RG: Michael Ownenu // Stephen Spanellis

RT: Jon Runyan Jr. // Andrew Stueber

 

WDE: Chase Winovich // Luiji Vilain

UT: Maurice Hurst Jr. // Aubrey Solomon 

NT: Bryan Mone // Michael Dwumfour

ANCHOR: Rashan Gary // Carlo Kemp

WLB: Mike McCray Jr. // Drew Singleton

MLB: Devin Bush Jr. // Mike Wroblewski

WLB/VIPER: Khaleke Hudson // Noah Furbush (WLB) / Jordan Glasgow (VIPER)

CB: David Long Jr. // Keith Washington

FS: Tyree Kinnel // Jaylen Kelly-Powell

SS: Josh Metellus // J'Marick Woods

CB: Lavert Hill // Brandon Watson

 

K: Quinn Nordin // Ryan Tice

P: Brad Robbins // Will Hart

Biggest battles would be WR (Kekoa Crawford, Tarik Black, Nate Schoenle, Donovan Peoples-Jones, Oliver Martin, Eddie McDoom, Grant Perry, and Maurice Ways), C (Patrick Kugler and Cesar Ruiz), RT (Jon Runyan Jr., Juwan Bushell-Beatty, Andrew Stueber, and Chuck Filiaga), and CB (David Long Jr., Lavert Hill, Keith Washington, Brandon Watson, and Ambry Thomas). I don't think QB is really going to be a huge competition unless Speight can't throw the ball and Peters is lights out.

Depth chart projection/guess:

QB: Malik Zaire / Feleipe Franks

RB: Jordan Scarlett / Lamical Perine / Mark Thompson

WR: Antonio Callaway / Freddie Swain

WR: Tyrie Cleveland / Josh Hammond

SLOT: Brandon Powell / Dre Massey

TE: DeAndre Goolsby / C'yontai Lewis

LT: Martez Ivey / Kadeem Telfort

LG: Brett Heggie / Nick Buchanan

C: T.J. McCoy / Brett Heggie

RG: Tyler Jordan / Stone Forsythe

RT: Jawaan Taylor / Fred Johnson

__________________________________________________________________

WDE: Jabari Zuniga / Antonneous Clayton

DT: Taven Bryan / Khairi Clark

DT: CeCe Jefferson / Jachai Polite

SDE: Jordan Sherit / Keivonnis Davis

SLB: Vosean Joseph / Rayshad Jackson

MLB: David Reese / James Houston IV

WLB: Kylan Johnson / Jeremiah Moon

CB: Duke Dawson / Joseph Putu

FS: Nick Washington / Quincy Lenton

SS: Chauncey Gardner / Jeawon Taylor

CB: Marco Wilson / C.J. Henderson

________________________________________________________________

K: Eddy Pineiro / Jorge Powell

P: Johnny Townsend / Tommy Townsend

RET: Antonio Callaway / Brandon Powell

Main position battles:
QB - Malik Zaire vs. Feleipe Franks. The obvious one. I think this is all Zaire unless Franks just shows out in camp. 

CB2 - Marco Wilson vs. C.J. Henderson vs. Brad Stewart. With Harris going down and Gardner likely moving back to S, it opens up a spot for one of the freshman to lock down a starting spot. 

Where CeCe lines up - Not really a 'position battle' per se, but it changes up the lineup if we decide to put CeCe inside at our outside. With our lack of depth in the middle, I think it's very possible that he spends a bulk of the time inside.

Questions going into camp

RT - We don't really have one, but there's plenty of young, talented bodies in the OL room who could conceivably become one. Denzel Okafor will get the first crack at, with Jean Delance and Pat Hudson getting a look as well.

LB - Probably the biggest question/concern heading into camp, which is odd considering how well we've recruited at the position the last few years. Lots of good looking athletes who seem to struggle with the nuances of actually playing football. TO has his hands full, but having your hands full with a room full of aforementioned good looking athletes, is probably better than the alternative. 

DL roation - This is more of a general musing, than any real concern. The DL might not have a Malcom Brown level talent, but it's deep group, with a wide array of skill sets, so I'm curious to see how they mix and match them.

 

Season Projection

9-3. Tom Herman has yet to lose a home game as a HC, and given how much he's talk about creating a home field advantage this off season, I'd imagine it'll be a place of emphasis, and so I expect them to run the table at home (it's not a terribly stingy home slate anyway).......*injuries not withstanding*
