Most of the lingering questions regarding Ohio State's starting lineup were answered during Monday's press conference.

Meeting with the media for the first time since fall camp began, acting head coach Ryan Day and defensive coordinator Greg Schiano announced starters at quarterback, linebacker and the offensive line.

With Tuesday's release of the team's official depth chart, we now know the starters at every position, and we get a glimpse of how the roster shakes out behind them.

(Update: Isaiah Pryor was originally listed as the lone starter at safety alongside Jordan Fuller when the depth chart was released Tuesday. Ohio State updated its depth chart on Wednesday, however, to list Jahsen Wint as a co-starter.)

Notes:

  • Thayer Munford and Joshua Alabi are listed as co-starters at left tackle as Ryan Day said Munford has been injured.
  • Ohio State names just four starting receivers, down from six last season. Austin Mack and Parris Campbell are listed as lone starters at the X and H-Back positions respectively, with Johnnie Dixon and Terry McLaurin as co-starters at the Z position.
  • Luke Farrell and Rashod Berry are listed as co-starters at tight end.
  • C.J. Saunders and K.J. Hill are co-second-team players at the H-back position.
  • Jonathon Cooper and Chase Young are listed as co-starters at defensive end opposite of Nick Bosa, and freshman Tyreke Smith cracked the two-deep behind Bosa.
  • Kendall Sheffield and Damon Arnette are listed as starting cornerbacks.
  • Dwayne Haskins is listed as the lone starter at quarterback.
  • J.K. Dobbins and Mike Weber are listed as co-starters at running back with true freshman Master Teague III at the No. 3 spot.
  • Demario McCall and C.J. Saunders are listed as co-starters at punt returner, and Dixon joins McCall as a co-starter at kick returner.
