One week after putting out a depth chart for their trip to LSU with no fanfare, the Florida Gators quietly released their depth chart for Missouri on Monday without mentioning it publicly. This seems weird, at least in one sense: Kelvin Taylor is on it for the first time in his Florida career, and that might merit some acknowledgement.
Other than Taylor moving on up, though, there's not a lot to discuss.
Offensive Depth Chart
Position | First Team | Second Team | Third Team |
---|---|---|---|
Quarterback | Tyler Murphy | Skyler Morhninweg | |
Running back | Mack Brown | Kelvin Taylor | |
Fullback | Hunter Joyer | Gideon Ajagbe | |
X receiver | Quinton Dunbar | Demarcus Robinson | |
Z receiver | Solomon Patton | Ahmad Fulwood | Chris Thompson |
F receiver | Trey Burton | Latroy Pittman | |
Tight end | Clay Burton | Tevin Westbrook | |
Left tackle | D.J. Humphries | Max Garcia | |
Left guard | Max Garcia | Trip Thurman | |
Center | Jonotthan Harrison | Kyle Koehne | |
Right guard | Jon Halapio | Kyle Koehne | Ian Silberman |
Right tackle | Tyler Moore | Trenton Brown |
Taylor moving up to the second string after Matt Jones's injury forced Mack Brown to the first string isn't exactly unexpected, given Taylor's fine game against LSU, but it does mean that Taylor's passed up Mark Herndon and Valdez Showers, both listed as third-stringers ahead of Taylor this fall.
There were no other changes on offense.
Defensive Depth Chart
Position | First Team | Second Team |
---|---|---|
End | Jonathan Bullard | Bryan Cox, Jr. |
Nose | Leon Orr | Darious Cummings |
Tackle | Damian Jacobs | Jonathan Bullard |
Buck | Dante Fowler, Jr. | Alex McCalister |
Sam | Ronald Powell | Darren Kitchens |
Mike | Antonio Morrison | OR Michael Taylor |
Will | Michael Taylor | OR Neiron Ball |
RCB | Loucheiz Purifoy | Vernon Hargreaves III |
LCB | Marcus Roberson | Vernon Hargreaves III |
Safety | Jaylen Watkins | Marcus Maye |
Safety | Cody Riggs | Jabari Gorman |
Nickel | Brian Poole | Vernon Hargreaves III |
Dime | Marcus Maye | Cody Riggs |
No changes whatsoever on defense, for the second week in a row.
Special Teams Depth Chart
Position | First Team | Second Team |
---|---|---|
Kicker | Austin Hardin | OR Frankie Velez |
Punter | Johnny Townsend | Kyle Christy |
Kick returner | Solomon Patton | Loucheiz Purifoy |
Punt returner | Vernon Hargreaves III | Marcus Roberson |
Holder | Kyle Crofoot | Tyler Murphy |
Long snapper | Drew Ferris | Kyle Crofoot |
Here's where the big changes were made: Johnny Townsend replaces Kyle Christy at punter, and that OR looms large between Austin Hardin and Frankie Velez, though Will Muschamp bringing Velez to Baton Rouge and giving him both field goal attempts would seem to tip his hand.
Additionally, though I didn't even notice this when it happened last week, Kyle Crofoot has replaced Tyler Murphy as the first-string holder, likely because of injury concerns.
What do you think of this depth chart? I'll be in the comments, and awaiting your praise of Taylor.
