FSU football: 3 takeaways from depth chart for Georgia Tech

Other Surprises

I’ve listed the number of freshmen who could see the field Saturday. Some of those were not too surprising, but there were a couple of names on the depth chart I didn’t expect to see where they were.

One of the biggest surprises was Mississippi State transfer Jarrian Jones listed as a starter over Akeem Dent at the boundary cornerback position.

Dent played well for a freshman last season, although he was playing safety mostly, which isn’t his best position.

I was surprised to see freshman Jarvis Brownlee listed ahead of Meiko Dotson at field cornerback. Dotson is a backup at the boundary corner position behind Akeem Dent.

Dotson transferred from FAU and led the nation in interceptions last season, and had a good fall camp by all reports. However, Brownlee is someone Mike Norvell has mentioned by name as having a good camp as well. I was surprised Carter Boatwright wasn’t the backup at tight end.

He wasn’t listed at all, with walk-on Preston Daniels listed as the option behind backup Wyatt Rector. It was good to see Warren Thompson listed as a starter at wide receiver, as I wasn’t sure how his camp went after the whole social media fiasco.

There’s a lot of talent on this team, and it’ll be interesting to see how the depth chart changes from game to game.
