A few things you need to know. Freshman positions are best guesses and when it comes to corner or safety with the incoming kids, your guess is as good as mine. Probably better, actually. That's why there's a dotted line between the positions.
Some linebackers very well may move up to defensive end, or back to safety, or actually be nickels. Interior line or defensive end? Best guess.
Until spring when the roster becomes official it is impossible to know exact positions and even then they may change in the preseason. For that matter, except for the early decision recruits, we won't know until spring if all these kids are actually coming. There could still be several more.
Four anticipated fifth-year seniors have been included. By several accounts the four have been cleared to return, but nothing official has been released yet. There are players listed who may not be physically able to play next year because of injury but without knowing for sure they've been included.
What else? I went up and down the roster and caught a bunch of mistakes the first couple of times where players were listed under the wrong year or there was a typo. I doubt I caught all of 'em, but whatever mistakes you discover are mine and mine alone ;-)
For what it's worth, I saved the document these charts were made with and will be changing them as new information comes in. If you send along corrections after I've got a few I'll post a new and improved version explaining the changes. It takes a village.
