2021 G1 NIU ATL Depth Chart

[ElCidBUZZingFAN]

Wasn’t James Blackstrain our highest raTed recruit last year? Does anyone know why he’s not listed? I agree WR looks a little short

Torn ACL. Out for the year.


Edit: I was wrong. My bad.

Torn ACL. Out for the year.

You’re thinking of Leo Blackburn unless the two best WR recruits from last year tore their ACL’s.

 

[covingtonjacket]

Jordan Yates seems like he's been around forever for some reason. Surprised he's a RS freshman.

 

[ncjacket]

A lot of times we only are playing 2 LB's

Most of the time we only play 2 LBs.

Yep. My bad.

This is his third year. Redshirted then got a free covid redshirt too.

Peery’s no where to be found. 4th string QB after enrolling early and having a shot (not a good one though) at starting?

I would imagine we want to redshirt him this season.

 

[MACHETE]

There is also a former LB who can't get ATL at RB. Still one of the most mystifying position changes ever to me.

Yep. Really disappointing for him I would imagine. He played well at LB for CPJ, even had a pick 6.

Didn't he choose to move to RB?

 

[Liberty]

@Buffalobuzz Yeah, you’d have thought our #1 recruit Blackstrain would have made the cut. Blackburn the #2 recruit got injured.

Not sure if Kaleb Edwards was #3 or #4. He’s not listed either.

 

[JoeCakeEater]

I’d expect a handful BTL to play. No inside info… just remembering that historically we don’t exactly show all our cards mid week.

 

[RussianOffense]

Knowing this staff we'll probably get a penalty at kickoff Saturday for having two #1's on return.

 

[JJacket]

Peery’s no where to be found. 4th string QB after enrolling early and having a shot (not a good one though) at starting?

I don't recall any discussion about him starting. He looks like he will be very good though

 

[GoGATech]

My thoughts exactly. Somebody post one from 2 years ago and let’s see how they stack up.

Ask and you shall receive. This is Week 1 ATL 2019 vs. Clemson and Week 1 ATL 2021 vs. NIU:

[LegendaryGT]

Offense got bigger across the board, defense got way bigger and way smaller randomly? Help me out, I'm terrible at this.

He did not have a shot at starting. He did not play a senior season and was never going to push Sims out.

 

[GoGATech]

Also...

Point me to specifics on defense and I may can help.
