Indiana’s Week 1 depth chart at a glance

It’s here, it’s here. IU’s first 2-deep is here.

It’s officially Game Week, which means we get our first look at IU’s two-deep. Even with the usual disclaimer — these things are seldom accurate — let’s take note of a few items on the chart:

  • Competition at guard is on the left side, where redshirt freshman Mike Katic is battling it out with Stanford transfer Dylan Powell.
  • In what looks like a very deep tight end room, it’s interesting that true freshman AJ Barner is listed ahead of Gary Cooper, TJ Ivy and Khameron Taylor. We wrote about Barner last month.
  • Slightly surprising to see David Ellis at receiver after all the talk of using him in the backfield. Then again, with his skill set, the plan is to get him on the field however possible.
  • Coaching staff is really intrigued by true freshman receiver Javon Swinton, so it’s no surprise seeing his name listed.
  • Sio Nofoagatoto’a is slotted above Demarcus Elliott at DT, but they’re both going to play — probably even close to an equal amount of snaps.

Here’s the full depth chart:
