I know, I know. The offseason has just begun, what am I thinking?

Last season was a long ride, and I for one will miss UFM, but I'm ready for the New Day Era to begin. One of the things that gets me excited is the hypothetical 2-deep (I'm the kind of guy that plays Madden on GM mode).

Hardest positions to work through were with the defensive back seven. Other things I noticed were that OL depth is starting to weaken again, and WR and DB recruiting will need to pick back up. LB's look to be the strongest in terms of talent/depth but have been one of the worst units this year.

Without further ado, both offense and defense projected line-up. I leave out Arnette, Hill, and Haskins who are all leans to leave for the NFL, but would project as starters if they return. Also limited true freshmen on the list, as it's been since Dobbins (injury) and Jordan (weak development) since a true freshman as started at tOSU.

**Wade moves to nickle on passing downs
