Here it is — WSU’s official depth chart
COUGARS
FROM PULLMAN -- And yes, we know. Official is a relative term here. Anyway, the first depth chart of the season is listed after the jump.
...
Not many surprises, though I'm not sure I expected Adam Coerper to be listed as a starter -- but even that's not a huge shock. Coaches like his versatility. And, of course, there is the matter of the "or" at the quarterback spot.
The depth chart lists four true freshmen -- Taylor Taliulu, Gabe Marks, Brett Bartolone and Teondray Caldwell -- though there will be more who see playing time on special teams and as extra reserves.
Without further adieu ...
