As the college football season nears, Baylor University has made its official depth chart public for the game against Auburn. This announcement highlights various position battles as the team readies for the match in Atlanta.
A key competition is occurring at wide receiver, where Jadon Porter and Dre'lon Miller are co-starters for the third WR spot. Miller, a transfer from Colorado, has missed practice time due to injury but is expected to enhance the offense.
Porter, who recorded nine catches for 85 yards and a touchdown last season, is also poised to be a significant contributor regardless of the starting decision.
The starting offensive line has largely formed as anticipated. Following the loss of Memphis transfer Yakiri Walker's eligibility, Koltin Sieracki has stepped in as the center. The lineup features Logan Moore at left tackle, Nate Kibble at left guard, Asher Hale at right guard, and Kaden Sieracki at right tackle, with Kaden being the sole returning full-time starter.
Defensively, questions remain at nose tackle and strong safety. Hosea Wheeler, a transfer from Indiana, is competing with Jamaal Whyce Jr. for the nose tackle role, while Jacob Redding faces Devin Turner at strong safety. Both players are expected to play important roles this season, though neither has been confirmed as a starter yet.
