What to look for in Memphis’ first two-deep

As Memphis prepares for its season-opening game against UNLV, the Tigers' head coach Charles Huff will unveil the team's first depth chart of the season. Huff, who brought in over 70 new players and replaced starters at nearly every position, has made it clear that the depth chart will include several placeholders represented by "OR" between names. While the quarterback position is of particular interest, the depth chart may also include "OR" for running backs, receivers, offensive linemen, and players in the secondary.

The secondary is one of the most intriguing position groups on the roster, with the coaching staff adding players from various backgrounds, including Power Five, FCS, Group of Six, and Division II institutions. Key players like cornerback Chauncey Logan Jr. and returnees Ellis Ellis Jr. and Darius Malcolm Jr. could provide early playing time. The secondary's depth will be closely monitored ahead of the opener, as the coaching staff has left the position relatively unclear.

The offensive line, too, appears to have a significant number of new faces, with only three returning from last year's team. Parker Mitchell will likely return to his starting role after an impressive season last year. The group's depth is crucial, as it will play a vital role in the offense's success. With the quarterback position receiving much attention, the offensive line's depth chart is equally important to watch as the Tigers prepare for their first game of the season.
