Way Too Early 2019 Depth Chart: July 2018

Please consider helping out the blog by doing your Amazon shopping through the links/banners here at TTB:

I usually don’t post projected depth charts this early, but a recent comment inspired my thinking about the 2019 season. I’ll grant that it’s extremely early and lots of things will change between now and the 2019 season opener, but it’s fun to think about the future, nevertheless.

NOTE: All players whose eligibility will not expire are considered for the depth chart, so potential early NFL draft entrants (Rashan Gary, Shea Patterson, etc.) still appear on this chart.

Hit the jump for an early look at 2019.

Stuart (FL) Martin wide receiver George Johnson III committed to Michigan (LINK).

OFF THE BOARD

Fort Lauderdale (FL) St. Thomas Aquinas safety Jordan Battle committed to Ohio State.

Pickerington (OH) Central defensive tackle DeWayne Carter, Jr. committed to Duke. This is the same school that sent Taco Charlton to Michigan, but I don’t think the Wolverines were pursuing him very hard.
