Cowboys pre-Spring depth chart released
The Oklahoma State pre-Spring football depth chart is out and full of heady goodness. Here’s my quick look at the most intriguing things (OSU beat writer Brandon Chatmon will be supplying his breakdown later today…). Here’s the depth chart: 2010 OSU Spring Depth Chart
WIDE RECEIVER
The Cowboys now list four WR spots on the depth chart. Last season, it was three WRs and a TE. Hubert Anyiam, Josh Cooper, Justin Blackmon and Tracy Moore are listed as the “starters” at the four WR positions. Shouldn’t be all that big of a surprise, I guess. Neither Texas Tech nor Houston used a tight end under new Cowboy offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen.
RUNNING BACK
The fullback has gone the way of the dodo. OSU now just lists two RB positions, though with four WRs that makes 12 offensive positions. Kendall Hunter, obviously, is listed as the “starter” at the first RB position, followed by Travis Miller and/or Jeremy Smith. Bryant Ward, formerly known as ‘fullback’ Bryant Ward, is listed as the “starter” at the second RB position, followed by Dexter Pratt. Houston only listed one RB on it’s 2009 depth chart, so, I’m just guessing here, but I’d think that second RB position will be used for short-yardage situations.
OFFENSIVE LINE
I would guess that sophomore center Lane Taylor is the only one of this bunch that is listed as the solid starter. The other four spots will likely be open for competition. That said, here are the listed “starters”: LT – Nick Martinez; LG – Jonathan Rush; C – Taylor; RG – Anthony Morgan; RT – Levy Adcock.
LINEBACKER
The Cowboys lost their three leading tacklers, and team leaders, in linebackers Donald Booker, Patrick Lavine and Andre Sexton. So there will be some new faces there. James Thomas (Jr.), Tolu Moala (Sr.) and Justin Gent (Sr.) are listed as the “starters”. It’ll be interesting to see if any of the freshmen coming in for fall practices – Shaun Lewis, Caleb Lavey, etc. – can make a run at a starting position.
SPECIAL TEAMS
How do you replace Perrish Cox and Dez Bryant in the return game? Well, you likely don’t, but the Cowboys will hold open competitions for punt returners and kick returners. Quinn Sharp (punter) and Dan Bailey (place kicker) will hold down the fort in the kicking game.
