Projecting WVU's Offensive Depth Chart vs. Penn State

In this story:
We're eleven days away from kickoff in Happy Valley. What will West Virginia's offense look like when they take the field a week from this Saturday?
Here's how I see it.
QB: Garrett Greene, Nicco Marchiol, Sean Boyle
Neal Brown says he's made a decision and given everything he's said throughout fall camp, it's clear which way the battle went, in my opinion.
RB: CJ Donaldson, Justin Johnson Jr OR Jaylen Anderson, Jahiem White
Donaldson is RB1, but he'll be able to remain fresh thanks to a deep room. Justin Johnson Jr. has been the most consistent all-around back, so I'd say he's in line to be RB2 although Anderson will get a lot of looks as well.
WR (X): Cortez Braham Jr., EJ Horton, Traylon Ray
Cortez Braham Jr. has asserted himself as one of the top two receivers throughout fall camp. Neal mentioned over the last two weeks how impressive true freshman Traylon Ray has been and that he's an outside guy, so look for the young buck to get some run here.
WR (H): Jeremiah Aaron, Preston Fox OR Rodney Gallagher III
WVU listed Preston Fox at X in their initial preseason depth chart, but I'm moving him inside. He's shown the ability to play both inside and out and if we're being honest, he doesn't have the typical X receiver body. Another true freshman, Rodney Gallagher III, will be a factor this year and will see his role increase as the season moves along.
WR (SL): Graeson Malashevich, Jarel Williams OR Noah Massey
I'm completely unsure of what the slot will look like. Some of the guys listed above at the H could line up here too. Malashevich is Mr. Consistent, Jarel Williams has made a "big jump", and Noah Massey is a matchup nightmare with his size. A lot of different body types that WVU can work with here.
WR (Z): Devin Carter, Ja'Shaun Poke, Hudson Clement
Carter may end up being WR1 before it's all said and done. He's been everything the coaching staff thought he would be and more. There's not a lot of proven talent behind him, though. Poke is primarily a returner and Clement is a young walk-on who the staff is excited about.
TE: Treylan Davis OR Kole Taylor, Will Dixon
Davis and Taylor will be featured heavily in this offense. They both have the ability to block at a high level and Davis has improved as a pass catcher. Kole Taylor is the biggest receiving threat in the room and should see a lot of time on third and gotta have its.
LT: Wyatt Milum, Nick Malone
LG: Tomas Rimac, Maurice Hamilton, Bryce Biggs
C: Zach Frazier, Landen Livingston
RG: JaQuay Hubbard, Brandon Yates, Sullivan Weidman
RT: Doug Nester, Johnny Williams IV
The only position that remains unsettled is the right guard spot. The staff has been waiting for one of those first two guys to separate, but they each bring something different to the table. I believe we'll see something similar to last year when Hubbard started and Yates still ended up splitting time with him when they were at right tackle.
