Pre-Fall Depth Chart
- Thread starter ZB4CY
- Start date
These aren't set in stone. There will almost certainly be movement in the receiver depth chart. Love seeing Scates just behind Milton.
Guys would enter the transfer portal if that happened. It's the world we live in. I'd bet he is #1 at the Z come UNI
There is an "or" between each position on the depth chart for that spot. That tells me he isnt 3rd but its up for grabs.
5 way tie for RB1, no surprises there. By committee is the 2K19 plan for CMC
Yeah just noticed the "or", might be time for me to see the optometrist.
Would like to see Carson Schleker beat out Akers for M #2. Akers is very unimpressive
Gotta prove it first. Give the guys who have been here a fair shot as well.
No real surprises. Excited to see Will McDonald in action @ LB, and love seeing Zach Petersen @ 262 lbs.
Noteworthy items to me:
Eisworth at the Star position! That was definitely the biggest surprise - but maybe I missed it during spring ball. It should bring him down into the box a lot more - and indicates they are very happy with the safety depth.
Schoener is the F-Back, not listed at TE at all. And "OR" between Allen and Kolar at TE is interesting too. I'd have thought Kolar won the starting spot next year - but it's fairly moot as they'll both play a ton
McDonald is the starting WLB, no "OR". Not surprising, necessarily, but I'm fascinated to watch that play out, he's an entirely different player than Willie Harvey. Having a freak in that spot in the 3-3 Stack could be devastating. Also Mike Rose is up to 240#? Anyone recall what he played at last year, it was < 220 wasn't it?

Tory Spears listed in the competition for SS. I didn't recognize that name; looks like he came as a preferred walk-on. Campbell has done a nice job with some of these walk-ons

Also looks like his dad played in the NFL when looking at his bio

Let's just do two tightend sets. Having a couple more 6'7" beefy guys out there can't be a bad thing, right.
I remember that - but I assumed (at 6'4") he was going to be a WR. Cracking the depth chart at that size, as a preferred walk on redshirt freshman is awesome.

It is so nice to see some height in our defensive secondary. We were too short when Rhoads was here. Now almost everyone is 6' or taller, with Tory Spears at 6'3!
Mike Rose was listed as 228 for the Bowl Game Depth Chart
I noticed he wore #85 in his picture and looked at last year's roster.. came in as WR and won special team scout player of the year. It'll be fun to see him develop over next few years
he was listed at 228 on the roster last year.
EDIT: He was 228 on the roster and he was 215 from his recruiting profile... so, added 25 pounds over the last 2 years.

I'm not. He wasn't here in Spring. And it appears that the position right now is up for grabs, he really isn't third he is tied with two others.
Akers at M is interesting. Wasn't that the position that the staff talked about when they first came to ISU? They use it on short screens, jet sweeps, and across the middle? I've always considered Akers an outside guy because of his speed and vertical.
