Projecting the pre-spring two-deep offensive depth chart

Continuing our spring preview series, we project what the two-deep could look like on offense.

This might be one of the most difficult roster projections with the number of unknowns on the offensive side of the ball. We will give it our best shot nonetheless.

While the Auburn Tigers have given no indication as to who the offensive coordinator will be, it should be relatively similar to last year under Bryan Harsin.

The quarterback battle will be one of four huge position tussles to monitor. There is no Bo Nix for the first time in four years but TJ Finley returns after finishing out the season as the starter. Two more quarterbacks have transferred in with 2021 Texas A&M starter Zach Calzada and former Oregon Duck Robby Ashford.

Not only will it be interesting from the standpoint of having any of five quarterbacks make the start, but the team also lacks a quarterback coach for the time being. That could change at any moment but the sooner it happens, the sooner the quarterbacks can get to work.

Wide receiver is another position that can vary based on where the players will line up. Losing Kobe Hudson, Caylin Newton, Elijah Canion, and Ja’Varrius Johnson will put you at a disadvantage. The names at the top of the two-deep will likely stay the same, but their placement on the field could change.

The tight ends and the offensive line seem pretty straightforward at this moment. We broke down each position in our pre-spring two-deep depth chart.

Wisconsin football 2021 projected defensive depth chart, spring edition

Nearly halfway through spring practices, the 2021 Wisconsin Badger defense is starting to take shape.

Through nearly half of their spring practice session, the 2021 Wisconsin Badger defense is starting to take shape.

Unlike going into last season, this is a unit that returns much of its star power: Leo Chenal, Jack Sanborn, Keeanu Benton and Nick Herbig. It is a group, though, that lost senior leader Eric Burrell, NFL-caliber cornerback Rachad Wildgoose and both starters at defensive end.

The good news for Badger fans is the program has plenty of young talent; has arguably the best defensive coordinator in the nation, Jim Leonhard; and has months to settle position battles and develop young players.

At this point mid-spring, here is Wisconsin football’s projected defensive depth chart:

Wisconsin football 2021 projected defensive depth chart 1.0

With the return of linebacker Jack Sanborn and outside linebacker Noah Burks, the 2021 Wisconsin Badger defense is set to continue their run

After laying out the Wisconsin Badgers’ 2021 projected offensive depth chart earlier today we now move to the defensive side of the football.

In recent weeks the Wisconsin football program has seen star ILB Jack Sanborn, starting OLB Noah Burks and starting CB Caesar Williams announce their decisions to return to Madison and play next season.

Despite the returning production, however, the unit has some holes to fill with starting DEs Isaiahh Loudermilk and Garrett Rand, starting CB Rachad Wildgoose and starting S Eric Burrell gone after the 2020 season.

If there’s ever a man for the job it’s Jim Leonhard, as the Badgers have had a top-10 defense in every season except one since he took over as defensive coordinator.

So, even though we know the defense is in the best hands possible, here is version 1.0 of the Badgers’ 2021 defensive depth chart:

Wisconsin football 2021 projected offensive depth chart 1.0

The Wisconsin Badgers got great news recently when star TE Jake Ferguson decided to return to school. Their 2021 offensive depth chart looks

Coming off a 4-3 2020 campaign that included a bowl victory and an overtime win against rival Minnesota, the Wisconsin Badgers are looking to right the ship heading into 2021 and return to their Big Ten West-champion form.

There has been good news on that front recently, as starting CB Caesar Williams, star TE Jake Ferguson, star ILB Jack Sanborn, starting WR Kendric Pryor and others have announced their decisions to stay and play one more season.

For a young team that battled through adversity all season, the presence of those upperclassmen will be necessary for both filling out their depth charts on both sides of the football and translating their 2020 potential into 2021 success.

Here, in mid-January, is version 1.0 of the Wisconsin Badgers’ 2021 projected offensive depth chart:
