ASU Footballs depth chart going into camp t

[JahiiCarson_SqodGeneral]

This was made my who-dat-devil all the credit goes to him now do you agree with him?


"Explosive, Athletic, Dominating, Attacking, Longer,
Faster, Stronger, and Smarter" These are the adjectives that Coach Todd
Graham uses to describe the future of Arizona State University Football. Now
that signing day has come and gone, it's officially that time to project the
Depth Charts of the 2013 Sun Devils starting with what else, D-Fence.


Defensive Line:


No other position group is harder to predict than Arizona
State’s Defensive Line next year. With six defensive lineman drafted and a
group that was ranked top-2 in tackles for a loss and sacking the quarterback,
how do you bench players? It’s scary, but the answer to the question is easy, we
have better players..


Nose Guard & Three Technique:


1. Demetrius Cherry (6'6" 265)


2. Jaxon Hood (6'0" 295)


This is a crucial position in Todd Graham
"attacking" style defense. The Nose Guard needs to plug the holes,
pressure the QB, and bat down balls. Hood did a fantastic job for us last year
and made it clear that he wanted to play early in his career. But Graham made it
clear over and over in his press conference that he wants length, and when you
recruit a 6’6 7/8” junior college defensive lineman that was rated as one of
the top in the nation, the plan is to use him immediately.


Defensive Tackle:


1. Will Sutton (6'1" 267)


2. Davon Coleman (6'2" 282)


This projection is obvious, you play the consensus All
American. Benching Coleman however and taking him out of his position
(Defensive End) should seem very strange. I'll explain below.


Defensive End:


1. Marcus Hardison (6'4" 290)


2. Kisima Jagne (6'5" 230)


You see a trend here? “We want to add length.” Marcus Hardison
is the #1 DE JC recruit in the nation and the #6 JC recruit period, you play
the kid, and you play him now. Kisima Jagne is big, explosive, local, and I
would think very hungry. He was rated as the #28 Defensive End out of High
School, but still needs to add strength and weight to start.


This is where you might start wondering, where is our former
starting Freshman All American Defensive Lineman go in Junior Onyeali? I'm sorry,
I don’t know where Graham will use him. Honestly, he's going to have to switch
to Spur or Devil linebacker because he’s not seeing the field with this new
depth..

Linebacker:


Losing Brandon Magee’s talent and leadership is irreplaceable.
Gaining some of the best recruit’s in the nation at linebacker is unbelievable.


Devilbacker:


1. Carl Bradford (6'1" 233)


2. Chans Cox (6'3" 230)


For those of you thinking, Carl Bradford will win this job
easy, haven't listened to Todd Graham talk much. "Cox will see the field
this year" "We want Chans to be a freshman All-American." Well
coach let me ask you a question, where are you going to put him? I know he's
great, but Bradford maybe NFL caliber.


Sam:


1. Steffon Martin (6'1" 240)


2. Eriquel Florence (6'1" 240) vs. Villami Latu
(6'1" 205)


Martin was solid this year, you didn’t really notice him most
of the time but nevertheless, he was solid. Though I do believe that he’ll earn
his starting position back this year, there will be an interesting battle
here..


Will:


1. Antonio Longino (6’3” 225)


2. Carlos Mendoza (6’1” 217) vs. Alani Latu (6’2” 230)


"Antonio is one of the top junior college linebackers in
the country. He gives us an increased height and size as a linebacker, and he
has tremendous explosive power blitzing off the edge." Reading in between
the lines, he’ll be starting for us next year at Will. Exciting backup battle
here between Mendoza and Latu, competition at backup is what wins
championships, and you see if all over this team.. Wouldn’t be surprised to see
Rowe of Fiso stick their nose in there as well.


Spur:


1. Chris Young (6’0” 232)


2. Junior Onyeali (6’0” 233)


I am very high on Chris Young and was from the beginning. He
stands out, makes bone crushing tackles, and has a nose for the football. He
was born for this spot and will not lose it. The backup here is interesting,
this is where I think Junior ends up. As you can see, he has the size and speed
to play the position. We need depth here at this “specific” position. Training
Junior early, may pay dividends down the road.

Secondary:


Boundary Corner:


1. Osahon Irabor (5’11” 182)


2. Rashod Wadood (5’11” 184)


All Pac-12 Honorable Mention. Irabor comes back to Tempe to
finish business as a senior. I think Irabor wins the job, and becomes a first
team Pac-12 Corner. Depth is an issue here at this position, Graham grabed
Soloman Means out of JC for help, but Irabor can not go down.


Field Corner:


1. Marlon Pollard (6’0” 170)


2. Robert Nelson (5’11” 170)


Who? Marlon Pollad. Wait? Who? 4-Star Marlon Pollar. Still not
following, who? Eastern Michigan’s best player who decided to transfer and play
his senior year a ASU, Marlon Pollad. Named to Phil Steele’s 2011 College
Football Preview third-team All-Mid-American Conference preseason squad. Lead
the team in pass break-ups. In 2012 he played one game and got hurt. We get him
healthy, he will win the spot over a very good Robert Nelson.


Boundary Safety:


1. Alden Darby (5’11” 188)


2. Darrius Randall (6’0” 185)


Darby will have his hands full with the most underrated
recruit coming onto ASU’s football squad. Randall lead the nation at the JC
level in Interceptions. Originally focused on playing professional baseball,
Randall is still raw. He reminds me of a very raw Patrick Peterson if he adds
weight. The Boundary Safety is more of a corner/safety hybrid and since Randall
played corner and safety in JC, I think he’ll be splitting time behind Darby.


Field Safety:


1. Marcus Ball (6’3” 205)


2. Villami Moeakiola (6’1” 205)


"This guy will play safety for us and we think
Marcus is going to be a big-time impact player for us. He is a great fit
and has great character." You just have to play Marcus Ball.
Tremendous athlete, tremendous character, tremendous size, tremendous strength.
He’s our boy. Moeakiola is a knock em back safety and will provide valuable
depth at safety.

Thoughts?

Run defense is my only concern we have added depth all across the board though the loss of Keelan Johnson and Magee do hurt but Steffon and Mendoza will replace him a long with all the other talent we got at lb. I am really wondering who will play the safety roll I know that we have good corners but who will be playing next to Darby?
