The following is based on what I have read within this message board and unofficial information I have heard through the program.
This is no-way an official starting 11 heading into camp.
I'm just taking a stab as to who I think could be positioned on Day 1 as a starter and who we should keep our eye on throughout camp.
Secondary-> perhaps the easiest position to place starters against as the starters all return from 2015.
DBs: Drew Allen & Marcellis Branch
Safeties: Andy Smigiera & Ryan Richards Jr.
Keep your eye on: Travon Scott. The late 2016 add by the staff was a Maryland Terps commit and is considered a 3-star prospect. Could push to see the field as a Nickelback.
Linebackers -> Leadership and big stats lost heading into this season. There is talent but who will stand up and secure the two ILB positions.
ILB: Tyler Lamica & Joseph Uhatafe
OLB: Jimmy Mason & Gerald Ferguson
Keep your eye on: Zach Cooper because of how he played in 2015. Adam Wollet played well on special teams and was used in certain defensive packages. Could push for starting ILB position.
Defensive Line -> Lost some big name but the staff rotates players so lots of experience coming back
DEs: Ryan Lewis & Austin Trgovcich
NT: Zack Zamiska
Keep your eye on: Chris Stanford & Stephon Mingo. Two FR that could see a lot of playing time. Stanford could work into the DE rotation while Mingo could be our outside rusher when we shift Lewis to NT.
Quarterback -> 4 QBs got a chance to play last season with no one taking the lead. Lots had to do with coaching of the position and play calling.
QB: Matthew Barr
Keep your eye on: Luke Brumbaugh. Luke probably had a better QB coach at Seton La Salle than he did the last two seasons. Luke and the other QBs will finally get into a true pro-system and learn.
Running Back -> Very crowded backfield with Cole Blake returning and leading the team in rushing. Blake apparently got injured in Spring Ball and is supposed to be ready by camp. So we will look at this position with a healthy Blake and non-healthy.
RB: Healthy Blake, it's his show.
RB w/unhealthy-Blake: We could see a RB by committee with Owens & Satcher but that's tough to say. It will come down to different packages Coach Miller has for RBs.
FB: Ben Line
Keep your eye on: Sam Woods. The former DB was moved to RB during Spring Ball and I heard his name mentioned a few times. For FB, Blake Skuratowicz
Wide Receivers -> If you thought the RB position was busy, just take a peek at the WR depth and talent they have. We have some top tier players coming back lead by Buss but those veterans are not coming into the season with big stats.
Lots of potential here so we will look at this position when 2WRs are on the field and 3WRs.
2WR Set: I think we see the rebirth of Jamison Williams this season and of course you have the NEC Rookie of the Year in Kyle Buss.
3WR Set: This is where it get interesting. Williams and Buss of course but who is that 3rd? Warren R? Centofanti? Craig T? Blackmon? The list goes on and on. If I had to pick another WR to walk out with the 1st team when going to a 3WR set on Day one, I'll go with Centofanti which would allow Buss to move to the slot WR.
Keep your eye on: Dreher, Vecchio, Magee and Madison. I could see all of these players turning some heads in camp and making it very tough on the coaches.
Tight End -> We have been waiting for that breakout game from Nic Lamica for 2 years and we have yet to see it. Again, lots have to do with play calling and him simply not being on the field. We could see more 2-TE sets with the new pro-style offense.
TE: Nic Lamica is your guy.
Keep your eye on: Tough call here. We have a FBS transfer from Pitt in Reggie Green. Former QB in High School who was listed at DL for Pitt last season. I watched his hudl tape from HS and he was a running QB who had wheels. Also interested in seeing how Matthew Gonzalez performs in camp.
Offensive Line -> Biggest challenge coming into August is replacing 3 starters. The OL has to come together quickly or we could be in for a repeat of 2015. Low scoring, playing from behind and being near the bottom of the NEC. On paper, we have great size but size doesn't matter that much. Just ask Dayton and their OL.
LT - Drew Garbenis
LG - Blake Chambliss
C - Ian Bjuro
RG - Matthew Fennell
RT - Mike Lamb
Keep your eye on: Max Potokar & Harrison Everley. Both players listed at 6'6" and over 300lbs! Can they move? Are they just able to play tackle or can one of them play RG and you could move Fennell to LT? Lots of questions here? What if Lamb now has the feet to play LT?
