Right guard Ar’maj Reed-Adams

Right tackle Demetrious Crownover

Defensive tackle Albert Regis

Safeties Bryce Anderson, Dalton Brooks and Marcus Ratcliffe

Nickel Tyreek Chappell

Cornerbacks Will Lee and Dezz Ricks

Punter Tyler White

We know DJ Hicks will move into the starting lineup and defensive tackle and KC Concepcion, Mario Craver and Terry Bussey will likely do the same at receiver. But there’s still plenty of position battles that will need to be settled, starting in spring camp. Here are 10 of them.

Nabou won the job coming out of training camp, but went down in the season opener against Notre Dame and was lost for the year. Faaiu started 11 of the last 12 games, but if Nabou is ready for spring ball, there’s no guarantee Faaiu will hold him off this time.

So if Micah Hudson doesn’t return, it’ll be an absolute free-for-all to get playing time. Jonah Wilson, with his 11 career catches, will have the most among the projected backups. But that doesn’t mean he has much of an advantage over Kelshaun Johnson, TK Norman, Ernest Campbell. Ashton-Bethel Roman or Izaiah Williams. They’ll all duke it out, and they’ll still have the only true freshman not on campus for the summer — Jerome Myles — lurking.

The odds lean to Searcy here, as he has played in all 24 games he’s been eligible for. Williams, on the other hand, has played in just three. But Williams is supposed to be a great talent, so it could get interesting.

Both guys are going to play, but who gets out there first is a question. Ricks started every game last year, but was frequently picked on. Humphrey was a starter at Georgia and had a very solid season before abruptly leaving. One of the two (or someone else) needs to step up and become a well-above-average corner to compliment Will Lee.

Shaw was brought in recently as a transfer from Washington, and he definitely didn’t transfer under the impression he’d sit. But Pettaway is a guy I’m very high on could he a really capable nickel in his own right.

Really, it could be Rogers, Marcus Garcia or Jonte Newman against Bourdon, but one way or the other, the redshirt freshman will be in the fight. This one will be big because, not only will they probably be out there if Trey Zuhn gets hurt, the winner gets a leg up on replacing him next year.

I’m not including Logan Rink in this because he’ll likely have a unique hybrid role. Tyler Oneydim has one backup spot locked down, so it’ll be up to a redshirt freshman and two true freshman to duke it out for the fourth spot.

This may not even be accurate as both could play, but right now the Aggies need someone to fill the void created by Solomon DeShields’ departure at the fourth linebacker spot. True freshmen Noah Mikhail and Kelvion Riggins could factor into this, but it seems more likely the two linebackers from the class of 2023 will go at it.

Both of these guys are tall tight ends who can catch, but Niblack has a lot off experience while Armstrong has all the looks of a freakish athlete. If Niblack can’t take part this spring due to his late transfer, Armstrong may already have an edge.

Padron joined the team last summer, while Chemlar will not be around until the summer. But neither has tried a field goal or extra point at the next level (Padron kicked off once), so this one is really anyone’s guess
