Notes on depth chart changes
There weren’t many changes to the depth chart this week, but here are the few differences:
– There’s an “OR” between placekickers Nick Koniecznski and Kanoah Vinesett
– There’s an “OR” between cornerbacks Jamel Johnson and Brian Nelson II
– Freshman Caden Gordon appears listed third cornerback behind Devon Marshall and Michael Tate
– Backup nickel Jaren Sensabaugh, a Missouri transfer, no longer appears on the depth chart after leaving the ECU win with an apparent special teams injury. Freshman cornerback Jivan Baly is now listed in his spot.
