As we alluded to earlier, USF released its depth chart earlier this week (hat-tip to The Oracle). If you haven't seen it yet, listed below are starters, then backups. First we'll look at the offense. Defense and Special Teams are below.
Offense
QB - Matt Floyd, Steven Bench/Bobby Eveld
HB - Marcus Shaw, Michael Pierre
FB - Ryan Eppes, Auggie Sanchez
WR1 - Andre Davis, Jordan Duval
WR2 - Deonte Welch, Chris Dunkley
LT - Darrell Williams, Jake Kaufman
RT - Quinterrius Eatmon, Mak Djulbegovic
LG - Brynjar Gudmundsson, Steven Jacques
RG - Lawrence Martin, Max Lang
C - Austin Reiter, Kofi Amichia
Offense Notes: Coach Willie Taggart lists Bench and Eveld as co-backups; this is could be a diversionary tactic to keep other coaches (and us fans!) guessing. Thor Jozwiak not on the chart, potentially due to injury. Martin gets to start as a senior. Sanchez and Amichia are the only freshman listed. And for the first time in who knows how long, USF has listed FB on the depth chart, and walk-on Epps gets the start.
Defense
DE - Aaron Lynch, Ryne Giddins
DE - Tevin Mims, Eric Lee
DT - Luke Sager, James Hamilton
DT - Elkino Watson, Anthony Hill
SLB - Zack Bullock, C.J. Garye
MLB - DeDe Lattimore, Hans Louis
WLB - Reshard Cliett, Nigel Harris
CB - Kenneth Durden, Jalen Spencer
CB - Brandon Salinas, Lamar Robbins
S - Mark Joyce, Nate Godwin
S - JaQuez Jenkins, Torrel Saffold
Defense Notes: Don't be discouraged with Giddins being listed behind Lynch; those two and Mims will see action at both DE spots. But where's Juju Forte? At 190 lbs, Harris looks a little thin to backup at LB, but he must've impressed in camp. Harris, Godwin, Robbins and Spencer are the freshman listed.
Special Teams
P - Mattias Ciabatti, Aaron Munoz
PK - Marvin Kloss, Emilio Nadelman
KO - Marvin Kloss
HO- Mattias Ciabatti, Aaron Munoz
LS - David Burdetsky, Alex Salvato
KR - Kenneth Durden, Derrick Hopkins
PR - Derrick Hopkins, Andre Davis
Special Teams notes: Kloss will handle all the kicking duties, while Ciabatti will handle both punting and holding. Having a punter hold might limit FG fake possibilities. Hopkins will field both kicks and punts.
