Today, Head Coach Bill O'Brien released the summer depth chart. The most surprising news was incoming freshman Christian Hackenberg and junior college transfer Tyler Ferguson were listed as co starting quarterbacks. Ferguson has been with the team since January and played in the spring game while Hackenberg will be joining the team in August. I give Ferguson the early edge in the race because of experience. Ferguson has a stronger grasp of the playbook and the speed of play. Though, I would not be surprised if O'Brien goes with Hackenberg. O'Brien speaks very highly of Hackenberg and would not name him a co starting quarterback if he didn't have the confidence that he could win the job. The battle will begin when the team reports on August 5. Below is the first team chart.
Offensive line: Tackles Donovan Smith/Adam Gress, guards Miles Dieffenbach/John Urschel, center Ty Howle.
Quarterback: Tyler Ferguson/Christian Hackenberg
Running backs: Zach Zwinak
Tight ends: Kyle Carter, Jesse James
Wide receivers: Allen Robinson, Brandon Moseby-Felder
Defensive line: C.J. Olaniyan, DaQuan Jones, Kyle Baublitz, Deion Barnes
Linebackers: Mike Hull, Glenn Carson, Nyeem Wartman
Defensive backs: Corners Trevor Williams/Jordan Lucas, safeties Adrian Amos/Malcolm Willis/Ryan Keiser.
