Louisville football: Three takeaways from the first released depth chart

An official Louisville football depth chart made its rounds on social media last night, and there is plenty to react to. We provide three key takeaways from the first-ever Scott Satterfield depth chart.

If you’re anything like me as a Louisville football fan, you’ve been eagerly awaiting anything that resembles a depth chart or some way for us to know how the coaching staff views the rosters and where players might stack up in terms of competition.

While most new coaches don’t typically release depth charts ahead of the season opener, outside of maybe the week of the first game as a way to keep the competition on their toes, Scott Satterfield and his staff decided to do things differently.

On Monday evening, an official Louisville football online depth chart began making the rounds on social media and caused quite a bit of reaction from fans and local media alike.

We don’t exactly know how old or current this depth chart is, outside of seeing a few names on there that are either freshmen who have enrolled this summer, how accurate it might be or the motivation behind its release – we do know as fans that it’s great to get to see where the roster stands.

There are less than 50 days before the kickoff of the season and just a few weeks before the beginning of fall camp so of course, things are bound to change before the Cards kickoff against Notre Dame on Labor Day.

Still, this depth chart, however meaningful or meaningless you may see it as being, is still worth reacting to. There are players who are higher than we thought they’d be, players lower than we thought they’d be, and even some names completely missing.

With that in mind, here are my three takeaways from the Cards first depth chart released under new head coach Scott Satterfield.
