  Message Not Read  First Offical Depth Chart
   Posted: 8/24/2025 4:31:17 AM 
We have our first offical game notes and depth chart.

A few thoughts...

- Rodarte appears to have separated himself from the other WRs (besides Hendricks and Harris) and gets the start. Also interesting to see him at PR.
- The secondary looks pretty solid on paper with some good depth. Hard to be mad at a DJ Walker, Adonis Williams, Tank Pearson, Michael Mack, Jalen Thomeson lineup.
- Nice to see the Boise State transfer Joseph Marsh on there. Seems like he has unlimted potential...unliiiimited.
- OL looks solid as well, and yes a bit undersized obviously. I'm sure the lineup is a work in progress and I can imagine that it will change from game to game early on in the season.
- Names I dont see on there...Tony Mathis? Mystery man Walter Bob Jr? Alfred Jordan? Andres Dewerk?

Based on what I've seen at a few practices and one scrimmage, very surprised the freshman punter is not No. 1. Transfer Magnus Haines has looked "rough."

Looks like Bob is off the roster but Jordan and Dewerk are both still on. This is game 1 and things can change on a dime. There is zero chance Hollobaugh and Williams aren't wrecking offenses at starting LB by midseason!! Like that Fries and Molnar stepped up in camp enough to start! Like the line depth where a guy like Waite is not on the 2 deep along with Dewerk. Maybe that means we can shuffle and rest some dudes.

Good to see Marsh on 2 deep. He should be a good one. Evan Herrman could surprise and see some PT.

Agree that Waite and DeWark should get a chance. Marinaro at Center brings some experience.

In the old days of bad records we seemed to have zero depth. This team may be one of OUr deepest. Will need to see if that results in a decent season.

Linebacker could be the key and agree depth here looks ok with true freshman like Christopher and Minnis. Hollabaugh and Williams are missiles and could be the missing ingredients for success.

Our punting has been bad in recent years but it was a little better last year. Alex Kasee was the backup punter last year and his isn't on the chart there this year so if it were looking truly awful in practice maybe he still would be.

UCLA transfer David Dellenbach is the kicker. Kasee is listed as his backup. Britton Watts is still on the roster and all the notes I've seen note a really strong leg as in kicking 70+ yarders in practice with some accuracy issues. I have wondered this summer if we might find a way to use them all with Dellenbach the kicker, Kasee continuing to kickoff (I'm looking for another onside kick off an upman helmet again this year), and Watts perhaps the long field goal specialist. I still think there is a good chance that this is the case.

Looking at the depth chart, I was rooting for Andres DeWerk to make it to the starting O-Line. For a big guy at 6'7" 328 lbs., you'd think he'd be there. Maybe he'll get a chance at the home opener vs. WVU?

I can see the all-around depth of this team along with the potential. Just a matter of putting the right players in the right spots.

You must be a high roller since all practices were closed. What other inside tidbits you got for us?

- Nice to see Jay Crable crack the 2-deep, I've been waiting for him. He's put on more than 30 pounds since coming to Athens as an athlete essentially. (Dad is Shawn Crable All-American at Michigan, played for the Patriots)

- Little weird not seeing the folks previously named, but who knows man. I saw an article yesterday about a kid who has changed his commitment NINE times since last year. Hope to God we don't start having holds outs at this level.

- Obviously, it's week one, but I'm a little surprised to see Kemeni or Hyatt not starting. Though I don't know who I would sit in favor of either one. Strong depth back there.

- Pius has been getting as much if not more praise than anyone this spring, so that's awesome. He's a big boy at DT.

- And Molnar must've had himself a hell of an offseason. I didn't find him in (any) box score from last season. In 2023, he had 9 tackles. I'm sure LB will be a plug and play all through the non-con.

- Poulos is a giant. Boals should see if he has some free time to play PF in January. Hope to see Tim Carpenter in some packages.

Molnar was getting some snaps until the South Alabama game when we had a lower leg injury = out for season. Pretty athletic looking guy though. I think he could be another Shay Taylor.

Just a few observations:
I saw Crable uptown the other day. He has totally changed his physique. Looks ready to play around the line of scrimmage.Glad to see Seegars staring. He was good in limited run last season.
The D line is full of transfers so there is unknown there the secondary is full of veterans and familiar faces. The back 5 appear to be a strength.
If Sieh never leaves that would be seven or so returning starters on Offense. Pugh and Gossett are the depth at WR. After that I would have no idea.
LBs athletic but unproven. Molnar had made the switch nicely before the knee. Wishing him luck as he has worked his way back.
The o line is intriguing. Shed, Spoon, Allen and Jones all have starting experience. Excited to see who else they can mix in and get reps.
with over 50 players leaving this roster has plenty of potential.

Hope so. Remember, Taylor rarely saw the field until the Myrtle Beach Bowl. He played great, and kept it up all of last year.

Plus Molnar won't have to do it all alone. Fries is ready and Williams and Hollobaugh are plug and play so we have 4 quality dudes there at that spot. And look at the size of Kemeni. Yikes..dude is huge.
