Boston College Football: Depth Chart For Virginia Tech Game

A new injury causes some juggling in the secondary. So let's take a look.

LT

74 Dave Bowen 6-7 289 Sr.
73 Sam Schmal 6-6 294 R-Fr.
67 Aaron Monteiro 6-7 336 Fr.

LG

77 Harris Williams 6-3 296 Sr.
54 Joel Rich 6-3 282 So.

C

77 Jon Baker 6-3 290 So.
50 Frank Taylor 6-3 289 Jr.

RG

75 Chris Lindstrom 6-4 260 Fr.
69 Austin Stevens 6-3 270 R- Fr.

RT

72 Jim Cashman 6-7 302 Jr.
58 James Hendren 6-7 293 R-Fr.

Brutal game for this group against Louisville as they allowed 8 sacks. They are going to need to improve against a Virginia Tech defense that ranks 62nd in the country in sacks with 15 on the season.

Y Back
81 Louie Addazio 6-3 252 Sr.
89 Tommy Sweeney 6-5 246 R-Fr.
87 Austin Chapman 6-3 232 So.
84 Jake Burt 6-5 230 Fr.

No changes here.

QB

5 Jeff Smith 6-1 182 Fr.
or 16 Troy Flutie 6-0 182 R-Fr.

Again I wouldn't read too much into this, as Smith is day to day with a head injury. According to Coach Steve Addazio's presser on Monday, the Eagles could be using walk on John Fadule as well.

RB

35 Tyler Rouse 5-8 194 Jr. or
7 Marcus Outlow 5-10 203 So.
23 Myles Willis 5-9 194 Jr.
34 Jordan Gowins 5-11 212 Fr.

36 Bobby Wolford 6-2 248 Sr.
38 Richard Wilson 5-10 224 R-Fr.

Not sure what's going on with Rouse, the injury report was removed from the media notes for the week. Virginia Tech has actually struggled against the rush this season, ranking 87th in the country this year. Can BC take advantage of that?

WR1

18 Thadd Smith 5-9 175 So. 
83 Charlie Callinan 6-4 220 So. or
84 Elijah Robinson 6-2 185 Fr.

WR2

6 Sherman Alston 5-6 163 So. 
80 Drew Barksdale 5-11 195 So.
37 Michael Walker 6-0 195 Fr.

WR3
26 David Dudeck 5-11 194 Sr.
10 Bobby Swigert 6-0 199 Sr.

Still the same group as last week. Curious to know why Harrison Jackson hasn't been on this all year while being active on the roster. Virginia Tech ranks 24th in the country against the pass, and well we know where BC ranks passing. No bueno.

DE

8 Harold Landry 6-3 245 So. or
45 Mehdi Abdesmad 6-7 286 Sr. 
2 Zach Allen 6-5 265 Fr.

T

97 Truman Gutapfel 6-3 281 Jr.
96 Ray Smith 6-1 264 Fr. or
94 Noa Merritt 6-0 268 So.

N

90 Connor Wujciak 6-3 304 Sr.
99 Evan Kelly 6-1 285 Gr.

DE

93 Kevin Kavalec 6-2 256 So or
45 Mehdi Abdesmad 6-7 286 Sr. 
87 Malachi Moore 6-4 274 Jr. or
11 Wyatt Ray 6-3 230 Fr.

SLB

28 Matt Milano 6-1 218 Jr.
49 Kevin Bletzer 6-2 217 R-Fr.
43 Sherriff Grice 6-1 201 Fr.

MLB

52 Steven Daniels 6-0 257 Sr.
13 Connor Strachan 6-2 230 So.

WLB
44 Ty Schwab 6-4 222 So.
30 Mike Strizak 6-2 239 Sr.

Ty Schwab is back on the two deep after a shoulder injury two weeks ago, while Tim Joy is off. Virginia Tech has the 67th ranked rushing attack, averaging 171 yards a game.

LC

20 Isaac Yiadom 6-1 184 So.
15 Taj-Amir Torres 5-10 170 Fr.

SS 
9 John Johnson 6-0 198 Jr.
41 William Harris 6-2 193 So.

FS 
27 Justin Simmons 6-3 198 Sr.
29 Atem Ntantang 5-11 193 So.

RC 

14 Gabriel McClary 6-3 204 So.
21 Lukas Denis 5-11 170

Kamrin Moore is out for the year with a leg injury, which was confirmed by Steve Addazio yesterday. Converted WR Gabe McClary will get the start at right corner, he's done a nice job in his first year at that position. Atem Ntantang has switched over to free safety to back up Simmons. Virginia Tech has the 78th ranked passing offense, averaging a little over 200 yards per game.

98 Mike Knoll  6-0 207 So.
99 Colton Lichtenberg 5-10 175 Fr.
