Since 2005, the Huskies have started 8, 6, 6 ,8 ,8 ,7, 8, 7, 8, 8, 8, 6, 6, 5, and 6 white athletes (the 2020 season was cancelled due to a “pandemic”). In 2023, they will start just 4 5.
(+ QB Fagnano and WR Brett Buckman, - WR Flynn)

Running back Victor Rosa came from nowhere last season to lead the Huskies with 140 carries, 636 yards, and 11 touchdowns in 2022 after injuries thrust him into the starting lineup. Despite these perfectly respectable numbers, he is currently listed as third on the running back depth chart. He should at the least factor into every game plan and apparently will return punts.

Jacob Flynn ascends to starting slot receiver. Louis Hansen is a Michigan transfer who left for playing time and will get it here. Last year’s backup quarterback, Cale Millen, has been moved to free safety and might realistically play a bit. In 2022, he went 6-15 throwing for 31 yds (not good) and ran 17 times for 100 yds, including a 49-yd touchdown (very nice).

This team has a few interesting players and I simply wish there was more to like about them. Many of the backups will get snaps, but Jim Mora Jr. is following the NFL roster model with a college team from smack in the middle of New England.

Starters:
WR/Slot: Jacob Flynn
TE: Louis Hansen
OT: Valentin Senn, Chase Lundt

PR: Victor Rosa

Backups to watch:
QB: Joseph Fagnano (Maine transfer)
RB: Victor Rosa, Hunter Clark
TE: Brandon Niemenski, Bo Estes, Alexander Honig
OT: Danny Antolovich, Dayne Shor, Christopher Fortin
OG/C: Jack Stewart, Will Meyer, Brady Wayburn, Mason Raymer

DL: Carter Hooper, Collin McCarthy, Matt Hoffman
LB: John Bechtle
FS: Cale Millen

Decent depth. Flynn and Rosa make them worth a view.

Makes you wonder what Rosa is thinking. Last year I was the teams best rusher. This year I’m 3rd???

Just mind boggling sometimes

^^ Rosa is up for the Hornung award. We'll see how that versatility benefits him long term..

Official depth chart released and Fagnano is the starter! Flynn is a back up but transfer WR Brett Buckman is a starter.
