I have gotten this question a few times on what ND's depth chart looks like. Problem is Kelly doesn't release a "depth chart" and you have to draw conclusions based on who you see there during scrimmage. So at the end of spring this is the picture I had in mind, if you have any questions, I will do my best to answer them. Also don't confuse the lack of a starter as a sign of a weak position group. OFFENSE: QB: Behind Crist is Montana and then 3 freshmen, Hendrix Massa and Rees RB: Allen should be #1 but he isn't an every down back, Cierre Wood would be his backup for the speedy back and then Robert Hughes and Jonas Gray could both be the big back. Cameron Roberson is a freshman and unlikely to see playing time but Kelly really liked his film, more so maybe than anyone from the last recruiting class WR: Obviously floyd will start but who knows from there. Goodman, Walker and Shaq evans have all played outside and all bring different things to the table. In the slot Shaq evans is again an option, Theo Riddick just changed to this position, Kamara would be the veteran in the corp, and then Tailer Jones another freshman who played a lot in the spring game seems to be right there for playing time too. Behind all that is Bennett Jackson, Austin Collinsworth and Dan Smith who are freshman and unlikely to be seen on the field any time soon. TE: Rudolph is #1 without a doubt, and probably followed by a combination of Bobby Burger and Ragone. Eifert and Golic are probably situational guys but otherwise may only be ST players this year. 2 more behind them in freshmen Alex Welch and Derek Roback On the oline : I think Wenger will probably get the nod at center but Braxton Cave is named by others so not entirely positive; Jordan Cowert is likely in third and may only be a special teams long snapper OG: Stewart and Trevor robinson should be almost guaranteed to be filling out the interior. Behind them is Chris Watt, another Golic, and lane Clelland OT: After spring conditioning Zach Martin and Taylor Dever seemed to be the consensus starters but it will be a battle again in the fall. Besides them Matt Romine, Lane Clelland, Alex Bullard are options, with Christian Lombard and Tate Nichols incoming freshman this year. There is also a chance that either of the above guards could get bumped outside to a tackle. DEFENSE: DE: Ethan Johnson and Kapron Lewis-Moore are the favorites after spring practice but Hafis Williams and Emeka Nwankwo are just as interchangeable as is Sean Cwynar. Behind those 5 is 3 freshman Kona Schwenke, Justin Utupo and Bruce Heggie DT: Ian Williams should be starting here in september but Brandon Newman isn't far off, behind them is Tyler Stockton and freshman Louis Nix OLB: It will be 2 of the following, Kerry Neal Brian Smith, Steve Filer or Darius Fleming. I expect Smith and Fleming will get the most time but both Neal and Filer have gotten just as much praise and more at times. Behind them is Dan Fox and freshen Prince Shembo and Danny Spond MLB: Teo will start he will be ND field general on defense, beside him will probably be Anthony McDonald or David Posluszny. Steve Paskorz recently switched back to MLB after being a FB last season so he may make an impact as well, just not sure yet. Calabrese and freshman Kendall Moore round out the unit CB: Its a group of 3, Darrin Walls, Gary Gray, and Robert Blanton. Pick any 2 you want I am sure they will all see a lot of time. Behind them are EJ Banks and freshman Lo Wood. S: Probably the weakest unit on the team tbh just based on all the questions to be answered. Harrison Smith and Jamoris Slaughter are the 2 most likely to be back there but I wont be sleeping on Dan McCarthy or Zeke Motta either. Freshman Chris Badger hits like a truck but I don't expect to see him this year. P/K Tausch and Turk are likely to split the duties like last year, Brandon Walker is still on the team but has some back issues holding him back from really competing. There is also a walkon kicker that is the more likely backup FG kicker (ahead of walker) but I can't remember his name....
