So here is my first stab at concocting a depth chart for GT football under Geoff Collins now that the coordinators have been named. This includes everyone on scholarship as of today.
OFFENSE:
Just going off Temple's offense, they were in 11-personnel or two WRs, one slot WR, one TE and one RB around 60% of the time. They used a FB around 25% of the time instead of the slot WR. I expect we will see double slots because of personnel at times and that would give a few additional wrinkles with jet-sweeps and whatnot. I think that second slot would make sense for more of the RB-type personnel like a Cottrell. I put my biggest predictions in bold. Offense will be different because they will have personnel packages
*QB- Lucas Johnson, James Graham, Jordan Yates, Demetrius Knight
*TB- KirVonte Benson, Jordan Mason, Christian Malloy, Tony Amerson, Devin Ellison
FB- Jerry Howard (I think someone has to move here), Joseph Macrina+
*WR-X- Jalen Camp, Steve Dolphus, Zach Owens
*WR-Z- Malachi Carter, Jair Hawkins-Anderson, Adoncias Sanders, Avery Showell
*SLOT1 - Ahmarean Brown or Kalani Norris or Omahri Jarrett, Xavier Gantt
SLOT2- Tobias Oliver, Nate Cottrell, Tijai Whatley, Dontae Smith
*TE1- Tyler Davis, Peje Harris, Dylan Deveney
TE2- Tyler Cooksey, Luke Johns, Harrison Jump
*LT- Jared Southers, Zach Quinney, Charlie Clark, Hamp Gibbs+
*LG- Parker Braun, Mike Minihan, Boe Tufele, Matthew Morgan+
*C- Kenny Cooper, Zakk McKeehan, Chet Lagod+
*RG- Connor Hansen, Brad Morgan, Mike Maye
*RT- Jack DeFoor, Scott Morgan, Austin Smith, Kevin Wolf+
WILDCAT QB- Tobias Oliver, James Graham
DEFENSE:
Basically a 4-3 and a 4-2-5, they played a lot more 4-3 with mobile OLBs compared to a lot of teams that played more nickel.

NT- Brandon Adams, Chris Martin, Jamal Camp
DT- TK Chimedza, Brentavious Glanton, Quon Griffin
