In his time at Texas, head coach Steve Sarkisian hasn't been all that enthusiastic to share his opening day depth chart. After the first game, opponents have plenty of tape to document their own UT depth chart so Sark saves them a little time and releases his own.

As always, IT has you covered. While this isn’t the official Texas depth chart, it’s pretty dang close.
We’re using a similar template to what the school used last year.
QB:Arch Manning, Matthew Caldwell OR Trey Owens, KJ Lacey
Notes: Against Ohio State, it’s Caldwell but Sark will probably use “OR” until he’s forced to make a decision in the second game.
RB: Tre Wisner OR CJ Baxter, Christian Clark, Ryan Niblett, Jerrick Gibson, James Simon, Rickey Stewart.
Notes: The coaches love both Wisner and Baxter. IT expects Wisner to roll out with the ones but he’s going to share time with Baxter. Niblett is listed due to his time in 21 personnel. Because it’s a situational package scenario, he could be ahead of Clark as far as who sees the field first.
WR (Z):Parker Livingstone, Aaron Butler, Jaime Ffrench
WR (H):DeAndre Moore, Daylan McCutcheon, Michael Terry
WR (X):Ryan Wingo, Kaliq Lockett
Notes: Chalk. I don’t know what’s up with Emmett Mosley.
TE: Jack Endries, Spencer Shannon, Jordan Washington, Will Randle, Nick Townsend.
Notes:Emaree Winston recently returned to practice wearing a brace. Great news, but don’t expect to see him on Saturday. Washington can play in 11 or 12 personnel but Endries is ahead of him in 11 and Shannon in 12.
LT:Trevor Goosby, Jaydon Chatman, Jordan Coleman
LG:Neto Umeozulu, Nate Kibble, Devin Coleman
C:Cole Hutson, Connor Robertson, Daniel Cruz
RT:Brandon Baker, Nick Brooks, Jackson Christian
Notes: I wanted to put an “OR” between Goosby and Chatman to screw with you but it’s game week and nobody has time for jokes like that. Two of the third-teamers are an educated guess based on the need for tackles.
