On Monday, we talked about the defensive side of the ball. Today we’ll move on to the offense.  Like yesterday, I’m going to start you off with a disclaimer.

Note: All depth charts listed in this article are not official Virginia Tech depth charts.  They are merely my own guesses based on a few things — the open practice session last Tuesday, the Spring Game, information from sources and my own gut feel.  I am not taking into account injury, attrition or any other extenuating circumstance.

Quarterbacks

The depth chart at quarterback has solidified itself over 15 spring practices. I think many Tech fans believed there would be a big three-man competition for the starting job this spring.  That couldn’t have been further from the truth.  Instead, there was a two-man battle for the No. 2 spot on the depth chart and Ryan Willis was the clear winner.  Here’s how the depth chart looks heading into August.

1) Josh Jackson (r-So.)
2) Ryan Willis (r-Jr.)
3) Hendon Hooker (r-Fr.)
4) Quincy Patterson (Fr.)
5) DeJuan Ellis (Fr.)
