Boise State VS UCF Depth Chart

The official “depth chart” is always a thing that comes with a grain of salt and often won’t change much week to week. Week one, however, typically comes with a large stack of changes. Also, in order to make it at least a useful tool, I’ve added hyperlinks to the players’ countdown pages this year. Enjoy!

Notable Notes

• Will Farrar ended up supplanting Garrett Curran at left guard
• Donte Harrington seems to have made the most of his extra year by winning the starting center job over Holomalia-Gonzalez.
• Ben Dooley has come a long way since getting snaps on the defensive side of the ball last year in a COVID-caused pinch. He is now ten pounds lighter and the starting right tackle.
• Riley Smith added an inch of height and 13 lbs of (presumably) muscle.
• Andrew Van Buren seems to have morphed into the second coming of Brad Lau, and—who knows—might be used more that way this season, having bulked all the way up to 240 lbs.
• Michael Callahan was an edge guy, but appears to have bulked up to 280 to play DT.
• Divine Obichere isn’t starting, but will be backing up NT and DT after slimming down 19 pounds
• New change in terminology for this defense: STUD = EDGE
• Bagnah has trimmed 19 lbs off his frame and whatever he’ll be doing in this defense at a svelte 225, it stands to reason he’ll be doing it faster.
• Tyreque Jones was 187 last season. This year, he’s all the way up to 205. Assuming there’s not much lost in terms of speed, that’s a heck of a difference in terms of potential for physicality from the defensive backfield.
