So, a guess started from Outsiders, with changes from comments here and other bits i have heard.
Defense
DE Kaumatule - Watkins
NT Phillips - Annan
DE Thomas - Jackson
OLB Kalambayi - Toohill
ILB Palma - Barton
ILB Perez - Davis/Branch
OLB Alfieri - Tyler
FSÂ Reid - Simmons
SS Lloyd - Edwards
5¢ Meeks - Buncom
CB Holder - Alexander
CB Murphy - Buncom/Meeks
Offense
QB Chryst - Burns
RB CMac - Love - Sanders - Scarlett
FB Marx - Harrell
TE Hooper - Schultz - Taboada
WR Rector - Brandt-Sims - Arcega-Whiteside (lots of hyphens this line)
WR Irwin - Owusu
RT Tucker - Dryer
RG Caspers - Wilson
C Schuler - Burkett
LG Fanaika -Â Maihen
LT Bright - Davidson
Notes:
Bright came in for Murphy a few times this year and played relatively well. I suppose there could be a left-right switch with Tucker but somehow that seems less likely than last year with Murphy.
Interesting rumor is that Cotton will reappear on the defensive side of the ball - possibly as early as the Rose Bowl. He hasn't played this year, and I never heard a solid story about just what issues he was working through. Given that he also red-shirted as a frosh, there is no eligibility reason to not appear in the Rose Bowl, though presumably that would not happen in a close game.
When Taboada has made the field, by my memory he has either been been in the slot or even split out wide. I haven't checked, and my memory is iffy, but I don't remember him playing in-line. So, while my guess is he won't be listed as a WR, he might essentially function as a WR - how often depending somewhat on performance of the other options.
Sure hope Phillips can make it back and that Kaumatule can be effective. Still a tough situation on the DLine.
Perez had some troubles this year and is somewhat undersized, but he has some potential and I remain somewhat optimistic for his future. Perhaps I am the only one in that camp.
Some true frosh will come in and make the two-deep. However, I find those rather impossible to predict, especially before we know for sure what the class will be.
