2nd Spring Football Depth Chart Released

It's time for the final scrimmage of the spring and as the Bulls prepare to hit the field under the bright lights of Raymond James Stadium, Holtz and staff put out a second chart for the game.  Remember, these are just spring depth charts and a lot will happen between now and the start of the 2012 season, but it's fun to take a look at it.

Offense - The offense put up 10 touchdowns during the scrimmage on campus last week, let's see if anyone moved up the depth chart after that performance or has stood out during practice (Note: Estenor, Hawkins, Lejiste, Shields, Virgin and Welch will be held out, per USF athletics)

Quarterback - BJ Daniels, Bobby Eveld or Matt Floyd

No shocker here at all.  The back-up position is still wide open and continues into the Fall.

Running back - Demetris Murray, Lindsey Lamar, Marcus Shaw or Bradley Battles.

Lamar continues to get a lot of praise and his speed makes him a great speed option.  Battles, the former 4-star recruit, could get another chance to  get on the field and make a case for playing time.

TE - Evan Landi, Jake Carlton

Landi is the proven senior, but interesting to see Carlton get the nod over Virgin and Shields.

TE - Mike McFarland, Tye Turner

McFarland again makes the starting job and surprising to see Tye Turner added to the spot.

Wide receiver - Andre Davis, Sterling Griffin, Chris Dunkley

Davis is still ahead of Griffin (motivation).  It is good to see Dunkley added to the depth chart.

Wide receiver - Ruben Gonzalez, Stephen Bravo-Brown

Gonzalez again is listed at the starting receiver position.  Stephen Bravo-Brown is added this time, which is probably just Holtz getting everyone into more game action.

Wide Receiver - Victor Marc, Terrence Mitchell, Derrick Hopkins

No real surprises here.

LT - Mark Popek, Darrell Williams

No surprises.

LG - Damien Edwards, Brynjar Gundmundson

No surprises here (where Chandlor Mathews-York?)

C - Austin Reiter, Thor Jozwiak

Reiter has locked this position throughout the spring.

RG - Lawrence Martin, Steven Jacques

Daneous Estenor is getting better, but not for the spring.

RT - Quinetrrius Eatmon, Max Lang

First time seeing Lang's name added to the depth chart.

Overall, no real surprises for this depth chart.  We will have to see how the offense plays in this game.  They have been confident after putting up the numbers on the offense, so we will see who comes out ahead in this contest.

Defense - The defense was angry after allowing the offense to throw all over the field.  Expect them to come out in this game and put down some solid hits and send a message.

DE - Ryne Giddins, Tevin Mims

No surprises here.

DT - Elkino Watson, Todd Chandler

With Grissom out, Watson takes over as a starter.  Look for Chandler to make some noise as well.

DT - Luke Sager, Clavion Nelson

Nelson is an interesting player to watch this season.

DE - Julius Forte, Eric Lee

With Hill out for the season, Lee will get a chance to become a solid back-up.

SAM - Sam Barrington, Reshard Cliett

No surprises.

MIKE - Michael Lanaris, Hans Louis

First time seeing Hans Louis added to the depth chart.

WILL - DeDe Lattimore, Mike Juene

CB - Kayvon Webster, George Baker

SS - JaQuez Jenkins, Ernie Tabuteau

Jenkins is back healthy.

FS - Mark Joyce, Trevon Griffin

CB - Fidel Montgomery, Kenneth Durden or Joshua Brown

It's Montgomery's job to lose right now.

Special teams - No surprises here.

P - Mattias Ciabatti, Justin Brockhaus-Kann

K - Maikon Bonani

KO - Marvin Kloss

LS - David Burdetsky

Game starts at 6PM for those attending.  Rainy conditions are expected for this one as well, so be prepared for it and plan accordingly.  

Once again, this is the depth chart heading into this second scrimmage (provided by USF athletics).  Holtz may or may not provide a second depth chart after the game.
