Best guess anyone at starts first game

Wideouts: Spencer Tears, Tyrice Richie, Cole Tucker. Several others see action to varying degrees including Dennis Robinson, Leon Payne, Fotis Koko, and possibly Rodney Hall, Jyran Mitchell and some freshmen. That should shake out over the first half of the season.
Tight Ends: Mitch Brinkman, Daniel Crawford, Corey Lersch. Liam Soraghan also plays some.
O-Line: Marques Cox, Brayden Patton, CJ Perez, Nate Veloz, Jordan Steckler left to right. Benn Olson, Austin Warner and Isaac Hawn rotate in.
QB: I'm guessing Childers takes the first snap with that battle going on for some time. Everyone is excited about Bowers, as am I, but he's also coming off an injury, learning a new offense and getting acquainted with new personnel so it might take him a little while to get in the swing of things.
Tailback: Tre Harbison, Marcus Jones, Jordan Nettles. Not many carries left after those three.
Fullback: I guess Brett Bostad and Nathan Harman unless they choose to use Brinkman or Lersch there.

D-End: Matt Lorbeck and Mike Kennedy backed up by Quintin Wynne, Cortez Hogans and maybe Drequan Brown if he gets another year.
D-Tackle: Jack Heflin and Ben Leroy backed up by Weston Kramer, Jeff Griffin and Marcus Kelly.
Linebacker: Antonio Jones-Davis, Kyle Pugh and Lance Deveaux backed up by Andrew Gregory, Joe Bonds, Vinny Labus and Jordan Cole.
Corner: Jalen McKie and Devin Haney backed up by Antwain Walker and TBD. Sure would be nice to see a JUCO or grad transfer corner materialize over the summer.
Safety: Mykelti Williams and Trayshon Foster backed up by Trequan Smith, Marshe Terry and Adam Buirge.

Punter: Matt Ference
Kicker: TBD between John Richardson and Jimmy Lowery
Long Snapper: Erik Abrell
Punt Return: TBD. Maybe Koko or Cole Tucker
Kick Return: No idea. Would be interesting to see Jordan Rowell and Justin Hall there.

Thorough job and I would imagine right on too.

It shouldn’t matter who is on KO return as last year I think we called a fair catch like 99 per cent of the time it seemed like but if I had to name a person I would say Koko.

81 - any take on the young OL (slow to develop) Dassow,Potter and Webster.... Have not heard Denton's name mention at DE

The O-linemen you mentioned seem to be more "futures" than "right nows". Dassow is working at guard while Potter and Webster are tackles. Maybe they can get themselves in the conversation in 2020 when three seniors from this year's team are gone.

Denton is kind of a guy without a position. He's listed at 204 on the spring roster and doesn't look a lot bigger in person. Very small for a D-end obviously. By comparison Hogans at 6-2 and probably 230 can contribute right now.
