Ohio State has released its first depth chart of the season with three days to go before the season opener at Indiana.
As expected, the depth chart includes "OR" designations at all wide receiver positions, the defensive end positions, at the second cornerback position and at the second safety position, among others:
Some notable takeaways from the first depth chart:
- Branden Bowen is confirmed as the starting right guard.
- Tracy Sprinkle will start alongside Dre'Mont Jones at defensive tackle.
- Blake Haubeil is listed as the starter on kickoffs.
- 11 true freshmen are on the depth chart: Wyatt Davis, Thayer Munford, Tate Martell, J.K. Dobbins, Haskell Garrett, Chase Young, Baron Browning, Jeffrey Okudah, Shaun Wade, Isaiah Pryor and Haubeil.
- Redshirt sophomore linebacker Justin Hilliard, a former five-star recruit, is absent from the depth chart.
