While we never got a depth chart from the UConn Huskies football team after spring practice, we now know what it’ll be when the team takes the practice field on Saturday, August 2.
It’s totally understandable as to why new head coach Bob Diaco waited until now to release it. He only had 15 practices to evaluate an entire college football team.
So as the Huskies get ready for their first practice of 2014, there is still no confirmed starter at quarterback as Casey Cochran, Chandler Whitmer and Tim Boyle are listed as the No. 1 QB. Really no surprise there at all in my opinion.
We do know that Diaco has said he would like to name his QB1 a few weeks into camp so this threesome will be doing battle as there will be at all positions as well.
Besides at quarterback, there are three positions where players are listed as co-starters (OR on the depth chart below). They are Max Delorenzo and Joshua Marriner at running back, Zach Rugg and Gus Gruz at left guard and Andreas Knappe and Dalton Gifford at right tackle.
Right now, defensively the depth chart is set for a 4-3 alignment. But as we’ve been told over the spring, the Huskies will be switching to a 3-4. So we could see changes there as well.
There is only one true freshman listed on the depth chart and that’s Jamar Summers who is the backup to Jhavon Williams at cornerback. He is the only one listed because he enrolled for the spring semester and was able to compete in spring practice with the team.
It’s still entirely possible that other true freshman could crack the two-deep before the opener against BYU on August 29. They’d have to be awfully impressive to get on it though.
