WVU Depth Chart: Kansas Edition
West Virginia released its depth chart for the upcoming conference game versus the Kansas Jayhawks this Saturday, with kickoff slated for noon and televised on FOX.
It is worth noting that James Gmiter is listed at starting left guard after missing the Baylor game a week and a half ago due to a positive COVID-19 test. Head coach Neal Brown stated during the Big 12 Conference call that the offensive line will "hopefully, be back at full strength this week, but is to be determined." True freshman Zach Frazier filled in nicely for the absent Gmiter against Baylor.
Dylan Tonkery will start at Bandit for the second consecutive game for an injured VanDarius Cowan, but Cowan is listed on the depth chart this week.
Of course, in years past, the depth chart rarely stayed intact on game days with a move here in there based on matchups, but in the middle of a pandemic, anything can happen.
