Utah State releases depth chart after first day of fall camp

Utah State released its first depth chart after the first day of fall camp, and there are not too many surprises. Quarterback and running back were as expected, but the one surprise was seeing JoJo Natson and Ronald Butler listed atop the depth chart.

Natson and Butler are facing legal issues which include jail time and head coach Matt Wells being non-committal until the legal system plays its way out, but just going off of this depth chart both receivers could be starting against Tennessee in their season opener.

There are only a pair of starting positions on the line; first is the left defensive end spot which lists juniors Jordan Nielsen and John Taylor as co-starters, and the other position up in the air is the place kicker.

Here is the complete depth chart via UStateAggies.com
