Offense

QB: Nico Iamaleava - Gaston Moore - Jake Merklinger

RB: Dylan Sampson - DeSean Bishop - Cam Seldon

WR-X: Bru McCoy - Donte Thornton Jr.

WR-Z: Chris Brazzell II - Mike Matthews

WR-Y: Squirrel White - Chas Nimrod

TE: Miles Kitselman - Ethan Davis - Holden Staes

LT: Lance Heard - Larry Johnson III

LG: Andrej Karic - Shamurad Umarov

C: Cooper Mays - William Satterwhite

RG: Javontez Spraggins - Jackson Lampley

RT: John Campbell Jr. - Dayne Davis

Overall, the offense is pretty straightforward. Some positions won't see much play past the two deep unless it's late in a blowout.

The tight-end position may surprise some people. Kitselman was a transfer from Alabama who struggled to see the field. The staff saw a lot from him in the spring while Notre Dame transfer Staes and Davis were both sidelined with injuries, and they have loved what they've seen from him. Staes was expected to be the plug-and-play starter, but he seems to have had the quietest fall camp from the room. Expect to see a large dose of all three guys this fall.
