Clemson's depth chart for Georgia Tech, plus a few takeaways

Clemson released its first depth chart for the 2022 season on Tuesday.

There are no real surprises on the depth chart ahead of Monday’s game against Georgia Tech.

With that said, we did want to pass along a few observations.

For one, as we’ve projected for a couple of weeks now, true freshman Blake Miller will start at right tackle for the Tigers. Walker Parks, who played right tackle for the Tigers last season, is moving inside to right guard.

At receiver, true freshman Antonio Williams is listed as the backup at slot behind Brannon Spector. Another note on the receivers — EJ Williams and Beaux Collins are listed as co-starters outside opposite Joseph Ngata.

Defensively, Ruke Orhorhoro is listed as a co-starter with both Bryan Bresee and Tyler Davis at defensive tackle.

Jeremiah Trotter Jr. and Keith Maguire are also listed as co-starters at MIKE linebacker, as are Myles Murphy and Justin Mascoll at defensive end. We expect Trotter and Murphy to get the nod there.

There are co-starters listed at both cornerbacks spots with Sheridan Jones or Nate Wiggins and Fred Davis or Nate Wiggins.

There are also co-starters at free safety with Jalyn Phillips or Tyler Venables.

Here’s the full depth chart:
