Florida State releases projected depth charts for LSU season opener
The No. 8 Florida State football team has released its projected depth chart for Sunday’s season opener against No. 5 LSU.
When it came to the biggest position battles, some have been decided while others have not.
Here are some of the notable developments:
Placekicker Ryan Fitzgerald has apparently held off the challenge from ETSU transfer Tyler Keltner.
Freshman Destyn Hill, who has had a very impressive preseason camp, is listed as a co-starter with senior Winston Wright at the slot WR position. The starting outside WRs are Johnny Wilson and Keon Coleman.
Transfer tight ends Jaheim Bell and Kyle Morlock are both listed as starters, with former starter Markeston Douglas listed behind Morlock at one spot.
Robert Scott has held onto his LT spot, while Bless Harris and Jeremiah Byers are listed as co-starters at RT.
Colorado transfer Casey Roddick is the starter at left guard, while D’Mitri Emmanuel and Darius Washington are co-starters at right guard. Maurice Smith remains the starting center.
