Thought I'd take a stab at a pre-spring two-deep prediction for week 1.
QB: Byrum Brown, Bryce Archie
RB: Nayquan Wright, Kelley Joiner OR Michel Dukes
WR: Ajou Ajou, Demetrius Carter
WR: Yusuf Terry, K Brown OR Seth Jones
Slot: Naiem Simmons, Sean Atkins, Jeyquan Smith (I think Atkins and Smith will play more than the 2s at the outside spots)
TE: Gunnar Greenwald, Weston Wolfe
OT: Donovan Jennings, Derrick Bowman
OG: Deonte Bowie, Andrew Kilfoyl
C: Cole Best, ??? (no idea who is training at C)
OG: Mike Lofton, James Jenkins
OT: RJ Perry OR Derrell Bailey
Several backs will play- Albritton will have a short yardage role, Johnson will get some reps in a few games, and Gonnella better have a role given the scholarship. K'Wan Powell could easily make a move in the spring as well now that he's significantly past his ACL injury. I think Javohn Thomas could be a mover at WR, and Keshaun Singleton could be ready to play as a freshman. Jayson Littlejohn will play as the third TE and Teigan Martin should get in some games. I think Jeyquan Smith will be returning kicks Week 1 with Simmons, and Sean Atkins starts the season on punts.
DE: Jason Vaughn, Tramel Logan
NT: Rashad Cheney, Jhalin Hobbs OR Jacquez Williams
DE: Eddie Kelly, Michael Williams OR Jonathan Ross
Edge: Lloyd Summeral, DJ Harris
MLB: Mac Harris, Brian Norris
LB: Jayln Shuler OR DJ Gordon
CB: A Brown, Kendall Dennis
NB: Jayden Curry, Will Jones (not sure what they'll call this position)
S: Matt Hill, Mekhi Lapointe
S: Ray Thorton, TJ Robinson
CB: Daquan Evans, T-Mac Simpson OR Jarvis Lee
I think we'll see heavy rotations basically everywhere on D and going three deep unless and until someone takes charge of a position. The secondary is really hard to predict outside of A Brown and Jayden Curry.
