If we switch to a 4-3 defense next year, what does our depth chart look like?

How does our from 7 work out? Do guys like Umanmielen and McGahee play end or are they OLBs?

DE: Lendhart, James Williams
DT: Van Poppel, Wallin
DT: Jeudy, Davis
DE: Butler
OLB: Umanmielen, McGahee
MLB: Gbayor, Thompson
OLB: Shavers
CB: Wright
CB: ?
FS: Buford
SS: ?
 
No idea on 43, seems like Rahmir Stewart would be the other safety and Jeremiah Charles the other CB barring portal potty additions.

Bootle could be in the mix too at CB

4-3 is dead.

Maybe a 4-2-5?

I don't want to see us run a 4-3 or 3-4 base again, football has changed, need to have 5 DBs, almost all the time. Personally I prefer the 4-2-5 to the 3-3-5.
 
Personnell-wise, it will probably look pretty similar. The main change will be how we spill the run. 335 typically tries to spill the run to the outside toward the safeties. Rhule has stated he would like to switch to a Cover 4 base, where the run would be spilled to the inside.

I think Elijah Jeudy will transfer out. He's in line to graduate with honors this Spring. Imo, he's going to move on as a Grad transfer.
