Looking way ahead: first glance at an offensive two-deep

Projected depth chart: Nick Starkel (RS-Soph), Kellen Mond (Soph), Connor Blumrick (RS-Fr)

Comments: Starkel may have been up and down in his 7 games, but there's no question the offense was far more efficient with him taking the snaps. He completed 60% of his passes for 1,793 yards and 14 TD to 6 INT, or 422 yards more than Kellen Mond threw for in 22 more attempts.

Mond remains the quarterback with the greatest potential, but he has a lot of development today. It remains to be seen whether Noel Mazzone's work with him was a help or a hinderance. If it was the latter, Darrell Dickey may have to throw everything from last year out and start from scratch.

Blumrick has the strongest arm of the trio, but remains an unknown quantity after redshirting last fall.

The Aggies need another scholarship quarterback, whether through the 2018 recruiting class or by transfer.

Depth chart: Trayveon Williams (Jr.), Kendall Bussey (RS-Soph), Jacob Kibodi (Soph)

Comments: What was setting up to be a stout group a year ago now looks kind of thin. Williams remains an elite back and should get a preseason All-SEC nod in spite of a much less productive sophomore season; he should get a lot more carries with the departure of Keith Ford and the arrival of Fisher and RB coach Jay Graham.

Bussey averaged better than 5 yards a carry and showed flashes of brilliance in his first real playing time this past season, but also struggled at times and did not do well in pass protection. He will have to be more consistent and block better if he's going to play more.

Kibodi averaged 11 yards a carry, but only got 11 carries on the season (including a critical fumble against Wake Forest in the red zone). Kevin Sumlin should have either used him more or let him redshirt. Either way, Kibodi needs to continue to bulk up and hang on to the football. If he does that, then he's Fisher's kind of back.

Manvel's Deneric Prince is another potential big body and looks like he's solid to A&M, but has not signed. The Aggies are also after Charles Strong, who could also serve as a fullback.

Depth chart: Camron Horry (RS-Fr), Jace Sternberger (RS-Jr), Aaron Hansford (RS-Soph), Keynel McZeal (RS-Fr)

Comments: With his size (listed at 6'5", 275), Horry seems like the big in-line blocker Fisher likes for his offense. Sternberger, who lists at around 240 pounds, can block and serve as a receiver. Hansford and McZeal find themselves in a grey area. Hansford started the season as more of a fourth receiver, but ended up only playing in 7 games after dropping more key passes for first downs or touchdowns (4) than he caught total (3). If he's going to get back on the field (on offense), he's going to have to bulk up and learn how to block. McZeal was brought in as a glorified slot receiver, a position the no longer really exists in the Aggie offense.

As you can see from the mad scramble to add at least one more tight end in the 2018 class, Fisher and company are not satisfied with what they have on campus.

Depth chart:

Outside receiver -- Jhamon Ausbon (Soph), Hezekiah Jones (Soph), Quartney Davis (RS-Soph)

Slot receiver -- Roshauud Paul (Soph) OR Camron Buckley (Soph), Montel Parker (Fr)

Outside receiver -- Kendrick Rogers (RS-Soph), Clyde Chriss (RS-Soph), Caleb Chapman (Fr)

Comments: This position grouping could change massively. The only real certainty at one position is Ausbon, who becomes target one after catching 50 passes for 571 yards and 3 TD as a true freshman. Paul and Buckley are the two other top returning receivers, so it would be no shock if Buckley was moved outside in the new offense.

The receiver position could change massively with the addition of two players. Manvel's Jalen Preston is committed but not signed, but if he does end up at A&M, he immediately jumps to the top of the outside receiver depth chart. Jaylen Waddle of Houston Episcopal, one of the most explosive receivers in the 2018 class, has A&M as one of his leaders and would immediately enter the rotation in the slot. This group is almost guaranteed to look a lot different by the time March rolls around.

Depth chart:

Left tackle -- Koda Martin (RS-Sr), Dan Moore (Soph)

Left guard -- Keaton Sutherland (Sr), Luke Matthews (Fr)

Center -- Erik McCoy (RS-Jr), Colton Prater (Jr)

Right guard -- Connor Lanfear (Sr), Barton Clement (Fr)

Right tackle -- Carson Green (Soph), Cole Blanton (Fr)

Comments: This lineup could undergo a total transformation once they get into a new system and operate largely in the 3-point stance. This group is the most experienced A&M can put on the field, but it may not be the best. Jared Hocker, Kellen Diesch, Riley Anderson, Ryan McCollum and Grayson Reed could all alter the line's look, and virtually every position besides center should be up for grabs starting in the spring.
