The Defensive Depth Chart
Defensive Line
| DE | Moro Ojomo | So | Jacoby Jones | Sr | Vernon Broughton | Fr |
| NT | Keondre Coburn | So | T’Vondre Sweat | So | Sawyer Goram-Welch | Fr |
| DT | Ta’Quon Graham | Sr | Alfred Collins | Fr | Daniel Carson | So |
No changes at the defensive line for the Texas Tech game. Expect the rotation to be somewhat similar for this game. Collins and Sweat likely will see plenty of actions. Collins recorded a sack in his first game and is expected to make plenty more plays before it is all said and done.
Linebackers
| Jack | Joseph Ossai | Jr | Reese Leitao | Jr | <or> | Jeff Bush | So |
| MLB | Juwan Mitchell | Jr | Cort Jaquess | Jr | <or> | Ayodele Adeoye | So |
| WLB | DeMarvion Overshown | Jr | David Gbenda | Rs-Fr | Jaylan Ford | Fr |
The starters remain the same with Ayodele Adeoye as the second or third string middle linebacker. He is coming off injury but was cleared for play prior to the UTEP game. We could see him in rotation. Jaylan Ford is listed third at weakside linebacker but the team has been trying to get him up to speed for more opportunities.
Secondary
| CB | D’Shawn Jamison | Jr | Jalen Green | Jr | Jahdae Barron | Fr |
| SS | Chris Brown | Sr | B.J. Foster | Jr | Tyler Owens | So |
| FS | Caden Sterns | Jr | Montrell Estell | Jr | Jerrin Thompson | Fr |
| CB | Josh Thompson | Jr | Kenyatta Watson | Rs-Fr | Kitan Crawnford | Fr |
| Spur | Chris Adimora | So | Anthony Cook | Jr | Xavion Alford | Fr |
The starters did not change. Some questioned where B.J. Foster would fall on this week’s depth chart after the events that took place during the UTEP game. Foster remains as the backup to Chris Brown as the strong safety spot. The secondary looks really deep with 15 players listed on the depth chart.
