Notes

» There are 11 freshmen listed on the depth chart after McElwain had just seven on the Week 1 depth chart ahead of his first season in 2015.

» Senior wide receiver Chris Thompson is not on the depth chart, making him the likely mystery senior suspended for the first game. The other seven scholarship seniors can be found on the two-deep list.
