WVU Football's projected depth chart - one week from kickoff
- Michael Hawkins Jr. projects as West Virginia's QB1, followed by Scotty Fox Jr. and veteran Max Brown. Jacksonville State transfer Cam Cook leads the backfield, with freshman Amari Latimer next in a deep rotation.
- The projected starting pass-catching group is Prince Strachan at split end, Jaden Bray at flanker, DJ Epps in the slot and Ryan Ward at tight end; TaRon Francis and Josh Sapp headline experienced second-line options.
- The projected offensive line is Kevin Brown, Nick Krahe, Wes King, Amare Grayson and Carsten Casady from left to right. King was moved to first-team center in late June, while the tackle alignment and another line spot were still being adjusted late in camp.
- The front seven projects with Zeke Campbell, Corey McIntyre Jr., Nate Gabriel and Harper Holloman up front/at Bandit, plus Ben Cutter and Cam Torbor off the ball. Tyler Stolsky, Malachi Hood and Isaiah Patterson give the linebacker room experienced alternatives.
- The projected secondary starts Nick Taylor and Chams Diagne at corner, Kamari Wilson high, Andrew Powdrell in the box and Geimere Latimer II at nickel. Powdrell's testing and immediate readiness drove his move into a starting role, while the kicker job remains an OR between Peter Notaro and Jack Cassidy.
