UConn football depth chart & breakdown for Utah State Aggies

UConn football head coach Jim Mora has released his first depth chart as head coach for the Huskies for Saturday’s game against the Utah State Aggies in Logan, UT.

• While Mora had said he wanted to name a starting quarterback before the opener, the competition still appears to be open between the four quarterbacks. It seems as though he will not announce a starter before the start of the game.
• Nate Carter led the Huskies in rushing last year but he’s listed as the backup to Robert Burns to start the season. Expect to see them split the carries in the first game.
• RB/KR Brian Brewton, who returned two kicks for touchdowns last season, is not listed on the depth chart at kick returner. He’s been battling a lower leg injury.
• There are only seven offensive linemen listed on the two-deep. The Huskies did have some injuries during the preseason in the position group.
• Hunter Webb, who had a strong second half of 2021, appears to have lost out to Kentucky transfer Marquez Bembry at left outside linebacker.
• George Caratan and Bruno Perlicki are in “OR’ situation for the starting punting job. Caratan will see the field either way as he is listed as the holder for field goals and extra points.
