Here are your starting West Point White Knights this year. Since 2005, the White Knights (usually a more accurate description of the team) have had 15, 16, 16, 14, 13, 15, 13, 15, 14, 13, 14, and 11 white starters. Amazingly, despite the ever-darkening skill positions, the number of white starters increases to 12 this year. Like nearly all teams in the country, the Black Knights have decided to go with a team composition that will better reflect their name. Jeff Monken returns an all-black QB depth chart, and has accomplished FB Andy Davidson as a 2nd stringer to somebody with more upside. Davidson, at 6'2 235, is perfectly built for the spot, but I guess a 5'9 black FB is a better option. A-Back John Trainor is also on the 2nd team. Both of Davidson and Trainor should see time, but the fact that Davidson isn't starting is criminal. There are no white WRs on Army's depth chart anymore either; obviously, more melanin was needed at the position. The only honkies you'll see starting for the Black Knights on offense are at the racially appropriate positions of OL and TE. The entire OL depth chart is white.
The side of the ball for CF viewers is the White Knights on defense. Five out of the front seven will be our guys, a true rarity in today's college football game. FS Rhyan England has been starting since his sophomore year, and is the player to watch on the defense, along with senior SAM LB Alex Aukerman. There are five white guys as backups on the depth chart: SAM Bayle Wolf, RUSH Jake Ellington, MLB Cole Christianson, WLB Ryan Parker, and FS Max Regan, with the exception of Wolf, the rest of the guys will be back next year, so Army will have some nice white depth on defense for at least a couple more years.
Simply put, watch Army for the defense at this point. If Davidson and Trainor play a lot, they'll be a team to watch.
Offense
TE - Quentin Parker
LT - Rick Kurz
LG - Joshua Boylan
C - Bryce Holland
RG - Mike Houghton
RT - Brett Toth
Defense
SAM - Alex Aukerman
END - Jon Voit
NG - Andrew McClean
MLB - Scott Washle
WLB - James Nachtigal
FS - Rhyan England
