Here is my stab at a depth chart as Tulane's focus moves to preparing for FIU and away from battling for playing time. I will post on the defense tomorrow.
QUARTERBACK
1) Justin McMillan
2) Keon Howard
3) Christian Daniels
Comment: Nothing will change here unless McMillan plays like Banks did last year in the first half of the season.
RUNNING BACK
1) Darius Bradwell
2) Amare Jones
3) Corey Dauphine
4) Stephon Huderson
5) Ygenio Booker
6) Tyjae Spears
7) Cameron Carroll
Comment: The top of the depth chart really doesn't matter much here. The coaches will rotate them in and go with the hot hand, sometimes using one of the backs as a receiver to get two on the field at the same time. My guess is the top five will all get action against FIU and that Spears and Carroll have work to do.
WIDE RECEIVER
1) Darnell Mooney
1) Jalen McCleskey
1) Jaetavian Toles
2) Jorien Vallien
2) Jacob Robertson
2) Kevin LeDee
3) Dane Ledford
3) Ryan Thompson
3) Jha'Quan Jackson
Comment: After the starters, the depth chart does not mean a whole lot here, either. None of the backups are proven and all with the possible exception of Jackson will get the opportunity to show they are ready to contribute.
TIGHT END
1) Tyrick James
2) Will Wallace
3) Keshon Williams
Comment: There are defined roles for the top two guys in the offense.
LEFT TACKLE
1) Tyler Johnson
2) Nik Hogan
LEFT GUARD
1) Corey Dublin
2) Cameron Jackel
CENTER
1) Christian Montano
2) Sincere Haynesworth
RIGHT GUARD
1) Keyshawn McLeod
2) Ben Knutson
RIGHT TACKLE
1) Joey Claybrook
2) Ben Knutson
Comment: The second-team projections are for who would actually play in a game if a starter got hurt. I just can't see Timothy Shafter getting on the field, so I would expect Knutson to be the first guy off the bench at right guard and right tackle and maybe left guard, too. The starting spot has not been locked up at right guard, either.
