Vandy players making a move on the depth chart

Comparing this week’s depth chart to the one on opening day, these players have made a move:

TRUE FRESHMEN
• Jonathan Krause, receiver: Has replaced Turner Wimberly as a starter
• Kenny Ladler, freshman free safety: Has started three games in place of redshirt freshman Jay Fullam
• Logan Stewart, center: Replaced fellow freshman James Kittredge as backup center last week and played against EMU
• Steven Clarke, freshman cornerback: For now, has a slight edge over fellow freshman Andre Hal as a backup cornerback

REDSHIRT SOPHOMORES
• Ryan Seymour, right tackle: After sitting out the opener for violating team rules, has reclaimed his starting right tackle spot, sending redshirt sophomore Caleb Welchans to starting left guard, redshirt sophomore Jabo Burrow to the second team, and freshman Chase White off the depth chart
• Colt Nichter, defensive tackle: Has moved into a starting role until the return of T.J. Greenstone

REDSHIRT JUNIORS
• Tim Fugger, redshirt junior defensive end: Regained his starting job from redshirt senior Teriall Brannon
• Jamie Graham, redshirt junior nickelback: Has returned from injury to reclaim his nickelback job from sophomore Trey Wilson
• Tray Herndon, receiver: After sitting out the first game for violating team rules, has replaced redshirt sophomore Akeem Dunham in the playing rotation

REDSHIRT SENIOR
• Nate Campbell, redshirt senior linebacker: Started for the injured Chris Marve and has elevated himself on the depth chart above redshirt sophomores Archie Barnes, DeAndre Jones, Dexter Daniels and Tristan Strong
