There are no major changes on the depth chart, with the exception of new starters in replace of Janarion Grant and Quanzell Lambert. Both are officially out for the season. Here is one note of interest that Ash has mentioned so far, which we will discuss in greater length later on.
Ash doesn't know if Grant can get redshirt. He is going to petition the NCAA. #Rutgers
