Well, it is game week and that means a brand new depth chart. Listed below you will find the 2-deep depth chart for both the offense and the defense.
Some things of note on it:
- Reid Fragel won the RT spot over Freshman Taylor Decker.
- Travis Howard beat out rising star Doran Grant for a CB slot.
- Jeff Heurmann and Nick Vanett are both listed as starters at TE.
- The most surprising thing to me though is Adam Griffin is a back up CB. Although it shouldnt surprise me too much he is after all Archies son.
- There are 14 Redshirt or True Freshman on the 2 deep for this game.
- Brionte Dunn beat out Rod Smith for the back up RB to Carlos Hyde.
Overall, on paper this is a strong 2-deep, maybe the best I have seen for a first game in a long time. OSU’s future is very bright to say the least.

H/T to Brandon Castel (@BCastOZone) from Ozone for the Offense and Defense Depth charts.
I got to “QUARTERBACK” and now I have to sponge drool off my iPad.
This is a super talented team if they can live up to what they are on paper there will be some big titles in their future.
Only seeing a few seniors anywhere on that list make me extremely excited about the future.
Especially all those young’uns at linebacker. Looks like Linebacker U will continue to reside in Columbus for the foreseeable future.
