Back in May, I
took a look at the post-spring depth chart according to class. It was obvious
even then that the 2007 Georgia team would rely on a lot of young players. The
caveat back then was that the depth chart could and would change before the
season, and it has. We’ve also added in the true freshmen and will count on
some of them. Based on the most recent changes, here is a revised look at the
depth chart according to class. The youth
movement underway is even more apparent now. Over a third of the
two-deep are newcomers (freshmen / redshirt freshmen / JUCO and prep
transfers), and over half are underclassmen.
1st-teamers are in solid red, 2nd-teamers are highlighted in back, other
scholarship players are in gray, and walk-ons are unshaded. We allow for 24
players on each unit (11 offense, 11 defense, a punter, and a placekicker) with
these exceptions on the offensive line: Justin Anderson is currently listed
as the backup at both guard positions, and Chris Davis is the backup center.
The freshmen shaded in green are expected to redshirt (not greenshirt). I have removed
Oliver, Coates, and Ian Smith.
As usual, corrections are expected, welcome, and will be made as soon as possible.

Chester Adams is a senior.

It’s just odd to see AJ Bryant as an “other scholarship player”. I hope he gets back in the mix, but I guess that would drop someone else.

I’ve read rumors that Bryant might redshirt – sorta like what they did with Velasco a couple of years ago. But I’ll believe that when I see it.

The colors are really tough to see on my computer. Can you pick a more diverse palette in the future? Like red, dark gray, green (or whatever) and white?
I know Green isn’t a dawgly color, but it’s tough to see the nuance. Plus, a color blind person struggles with shades of light red vs. the various shades of gray.

pwd, thanks for the suggestion. It’s easy to forget accessibility. I had to update the chart anyway. Green is a more dawgly color than we think – since it means non-contact in practice, I guess it’s fitting for the redshirting freshmen who won’t be seeing any game contact this year.

scoreboard, I’ve heard the AJ redshirting thing too, but I don’t know how much of that is wishful thinking from fans who can see the appeal of the idea. If he’s not even in our top seven receivers (as of last weekend), how much will he see the field this year? Then again, the coaches might not want a logjam next year with three seniors and an ultra-talented recruiting class expecting playing time.

I’m with you, Groo. I don’t think it will or should happen. Ft. Valley isn’t that far from me, so AJ has a few fans around here. But I don’t see the point of redshirting him now. They won’t be lacking seniors next year. It may be time for him to use his fourth year and pass his scholly along to the next hotshot…
