Now that some of the smoke is clearing from signing day, here’s a very preliminary look at the depth chart for the football team. Recognize, of course, that there will likely be a lot of changes between now and September. Some of these folks may already be gone – and there may be some players enrolled now that ISU can’t talk about yet because they are not yet eligible. I listed players at each position in this order: 1) Returning starters; 2) Players who saw action last year; 3) Returning squad members; 4) New Recruits.
Offense
QB
No returning starter
Delacenserie
Gueller
Kvinsland
RB
Finney
Ford
Hayes
Mitchell
Flanagan
WR
Mangum
Malcom
Williams
Graves
Campbell
Burmeister
Hatchett
Jones
Tate
Tolliver
Robinson
Pilster
Louie-McGee
Reynolds
Peterson
TE
Cook
Graves
Wright
Razor
Offensive Line
Carey
Wingrove
Phillips
Diehm
Nomohala
Collins
Vazorka
Prestesater
Hoggan
Abbott
Miedema
Fineanganofo
Lewis
Spanner
Smith
Defense
Defensive Line
Kuder
Edwards
Pili
Sharkey
Berry
Jones
Hazard
Tharpe
Heck
Salutregui
Hoff
Cano
Williams
Aloi
Taylor
Schwenke
Linebackers
Stout
Jenkins
Karstetter
Langlow
Harshman
Ferguson
Breland
Schroeder
Pettit
Navarro
Jackson
Beckman
Graves
Holloway
Defensive Backs
Manu
Sorensen
Collins
Livingston-Coleman
Ricks
Hollowell
Ward
Jackson
Madison
Martin
Miller
Jones
Aguirre
Special Teams
Kicker
Johnson
Punter
TBD
Long-Snapper
No returning starter
Burtenshaw
Kick Returners
Hayes
Punt Returners
Graves
Burmeister
Jones, Flanagan, ????
Some off-the-cuff observations: I can't remember ISU ever having this much depth at wide receiver and on the offensive line. Serious help is still needed on special teams. Obviously, quarterback remains the prominent question. A LOT of new guys are going to have to play a lot of football on the defensive line and at linebacker.
