Let’s talk about the OSU depth chart
All of the ORs at QB, all of the freshmen on defense (!), and some confusion at WR. Let’s take a look.
Mike Gundy is a world class secret-keeper so Saturday was the first time we got a glimpse of the OSU depth chart (as in, we watched the game).
I wanted to take a look back at the two deep with a little bit of commentary.
Offense
Position | Starter | Class | Backup | Class |
Left tackle | Daniel Koenig | Sr. | Michael Wilson | So. |
Left guard | Chris Grigsby | Sr. | Jack Kurzu | Fr. |
Center | Paul Lewis | So. | Grant Canis | So. |
Right guard | Zac Veatch | So. | Jesse Robinson | Fr. |
Right tackle | Zach Crabtree | Fr. | Brandon Garrett | Sr. |
Receiver | Chris Lacy | Fr. | Marcell Ateman | So. |
Receiver | David Glidden | Jr. | Ra’Shaad Samples | Fr. |
Receiver | Brandon Sheperd | Jr. | Blake Webb | So. |
Receiver | Jhajuan Seales | So. | CJ Curry | So. |
Running back | Desmond Roland | Sr. | Tyreek Hill | Jr. |
Fullback | Jeremy Seaton | Jr. | Teddy Johnson | Sr. |
Tight end | Jeremy Seaton | Jr. | Blake Jarwin | So. |
Quarterback | JW Walsh | Jr. | Daxx Garman | Jr. |
Notes and thoughts:
• I’m confused by the Chris Lacy thing. okstate.com tells me Marcell Ateman started instead but Lacy was listed first on the OSU depth chart. Either way I think we can all agree that the top four guys in some order are Seales, Sheperd, Ateman, and Glidden.
• As someone on Twitter suggested this week we should just replace whoever the QB is at OSU with the word “or.”
There were a few other “ORs” (like Childs and Tyreek at RB) but I just listed the first guy for the sake of the integrity of my tables here.
• No real surprises anywhere else though I do love seeing five freshmen on that two deep. Also, it’s probably not the greatest thing to have Jeremy Seaton starting at two positions for you…?
• Speaking of Seaton — remember the days of Brandon Pettigrew and Alonzo Mayes? It’s unfortunate the TE position has gone the way of cassette tapes and VHS players. RIP TE Fade on NCAA Football. Actually, RIP NCAA Football.
Onto the defense.
Defense
Position | Starter | Class | Backup | Class |
End | Emmanuel Ogbah | So. | Trace Clark | Jr. |
Tackle | James Castleman | Sr. | Eric Davis | So. |
Tackle | Ofa Hautau | Sr. | Vincent Taylor | Fr. |
End | Jimmy Bean | Jr. | Sam Wren | Sr. |
STAR LB | Josh Furman | Sr. | Gyasi Akem | Fr. |
MLB | Ryan Simmons | Jr. | Demarcus Sherod | So. |
WLB | Seth Jacobs | So. | Justin Phillips | Fr. |
Cornerback | Kevin Peterson | Jr. | Juwan Offray | Fr. |
Strong safety | Larry Stephens | Sr. | Tre Flowers | Fr. |
Free safety | Jordan Sterns | So. | Dylan Harding | Fr. |
Cornerback | Ashton Lampkin | Jr. | Ramon Richards | Fr. |
Notes and thoughts:
• Look at all those freshmen backups, my gosh. This defense is going to be good this year and potentially elite in 2015.
• Remember when guys who looked like Trace Clark used to be no-doubt starters on the defensive line? Now they can barely get PT.
• I don’t know how long you can keep Akem from starting. He is an insanely large, gifted human being.
• Deric Robertson (So.) isn’t listed on here but he’s listed on the two deep as a third-string free safety behind Harding. Same for Darius Curry (Fr.) at corner with Ramon Richards. Actually Curry gets the “OR” I thought was reserved for QBs.’
