Depth chart was released today.
Some surprising starters on the defensive side of the ball…surprising to me at least.
Evan Eller appears to be our new starting MLB. He came to Wyoming last year from VMI and recorded two tackles in four games before declaring a redshirt year.
Jones Thomas looks to be our new starting free safety. This is his third year at UW. Did not see the field at all as a true freshman and redshirted. Saw limited game time mostly on special teams last year.
Gary Rutherford is listed as 2nd/3rd string at the WILL position. This was a guy that was mentioned multiple times by Sawvel during fall camp as standing out. Now he appears to be looking at mostly a backup role. Kind of weird.
Sawvel also mentioned Samuel ‘Tote’ Harris at RB as being ‘really good’. He didn’t even make the three deep.
I’m not sure if this is a smoke and mirrors depth chart, but I was a little surprised by some of the names. If I remember correctly, Sawvel also didn’t have Durr even listed on the initial depth chart at WR last year and he ended up seeing a decent amount of time anyways. On the bright side, Svoboda did not make the depth chart at QB. I half expected to see him listed there as third string or something.
