Some Info on the Others

As we wait on Columbia's game notes and two-deep release for the season opener against Wagner, we are learning a bit about some of the other Ivy teams who have made their depth chart announcements.

Here are the highlights so far:

-The best all-around player in the Ivies last year, Princeton's QB/WR/RB John Lovett, is not listed at all in the Tiger two-deep for Princeton's opener against San Diego. We still don't know how long he'll be out, but he seems definitely completely out for the opener.

-With Alan Lamar out for the season, Yale is starting Deshawn Salter at RB. But the Elis are listing three RB's in the two-deep, (three-deep?), with Zane Dudek and Andrew Grinde also there.

-On defense, Yale's 2015 star DL Copache Tyler, who missed the 2016 season, is listed as the backup and not the starter behind John Herubin. Last year's All Ivy Honorable Mention Center Karl Marbeck is not the starting LT, and Jeho Chang is now listed as a backup at LG.

-Harvard's Charlie Booker is getting the start at RB, and last year's primary RB Semar Smith is not even listed in the two-deep.

-Getting back to Princeton, three sophomores are getting the start on the graduation-gutted defense. That includes sophomore Will Johnson, a 5-9 CB who was a WR last season.
