Rutgers & Iowa Release Week 4 Depth Chart’s For Saturday’s Game

The depth chart for Week 4 against Iowa has been released and the only change comes on the defensive side of the ball. It was previously reported that Najee Clayton has left the team and Ash stated he was unsure of his return. Replacing Clayton on the depth chart are sophomore Ronnie James and true freshman Tyreek Maddox-Williams, as both will backup Greg Jones at the SAM linebacker position. Here is a detailed review of Rutgers depth chart, as well as Iowa’s for this game.

OFFENSE

QB: Chris Laviano / Gio Rescigno OR Zach Allen

RB: Robert Martin / Josh Hicks OR Justin Goodwin

TE: Nick Arcidiacono / Matt Flanagan

WR: Jawuan Harris / John Tsimis

WR: Janarion Grant / John Tsimis

WR: Andre Patton / Carlton Agudosi

LT: Tariq Cole / Zack Heeman

LG: Dorian Miller / Zach Venesky

C: Derrick Nelson / Jonah Jackson

RG: Chris Muller / Marcus Applefield

RT: J.J. Denman / Kamaal Seymour

Notes: There were no changes to the depth chart for the offense.....It’s encouraging that the offensive line has developed some stability and the two deep has remained unchanged since the start of the season.....The quarterback position remains a huge question mark, as backups Zach Allen, Gio Rescigno, and Tylin Oden have all seen game action this season.

DEFENSE

DE: Quanzell Lambert / Darnell Davis

NT: Sebastian Joseph / Kevin Wilkins

DT: Darius Hamilton / Jon Bateky

DE: Julian Pinnix-Odrick /Myles Nash

WLB: Trevor Morris / Eric Margolis

MLB: Deonte Roberts / Kevin Marquez

SLB: Greg Jones / Ronnie James OR Tyreek Maddox-Williams

CB: Isaiah Wharton / Ross Douglas

FS: Kiy Hester / K.J. Gray

SS: Anthony Cioffi / Lawrence Stevens

CB: Blessuan Austin / Damon Hayes

Notes: Ronnie James saw action in the secondary last season, but after missing the beginning of fall training camp with an injury, he has moved his way back onto the two deep. He saw some action at linebacker against New Mexico on Saturday and that should continue.....K.J. Gray grabbed the first interception of his career on Saturday and will continue to back up Kiy Hester at free safety. Saquan Hampton remains out with an injury for an undisclosed period of time....Ross Douglas remains on the depth chart, despite being out with an injury for an undisclosed period.

SPECIAL TEAMS

K: David Bonagura / Jared Smolar

P: Michael Cintron / Tim Gleeson

LS: Alan Lucy / Matthew Sportelli

Notes: No changes on special teams.
