Okay, so, I’ve been digging into the Arizona State Sun Devils football team lately, specifically their 2023 depth chart. It’s kind of a fun little project I took on. Let me tell you, figuring this stuff out wasn’t a walk in the park, but I did it.
First, I started by browsing around, looking for the official roster. You know, just trying to get a feel for who’s who on the team. There’s a bunch of information out there, but I wanted the real deal from Arizona State University. I did a lot of searches for things like “Arizona State football roster 2023” and “Sun Devils depth chart”.
Then, I started organizing what I was finding. I started by making a list of all the players, their numbers, and their positions. I found it on the official team website. It was pretty straightforward, just a big list. I did copy the whole list down to a file in my computer. It was tough to keep track of who was a starter and who was a backup at first, but I kept comparing different sources until I had a good idea.
Here’s a little inside tip: The depth chart changes a lot. What I found was that some sources had different players listed in different orders, so I had to cross-reference a lot. I focused on the main positions like quarterback, running back, and all those guys. I ignored the rest like the kicker and so on.
The real challenge was trying to figure out the projected starters. I noticed some players were listed as transfers, so I made a note of that too. I guess they came from other teams.
After I felt like I had a solid grasp on the starters, I moved on to the backups. Same process, really. Just a lot of checking and double-checking who was likely to be second or third string. I started to create a list of names of every player and started to order them by position.
I also looked into their schedule to see what teams they’d be up against. That helped me understand a bit more about why certain players might be higher or lower on the depth chart, you know? Like, who they were playing against might change things up.
- Quarterback (QB)
- Running Back (RB)
- Wide Receiver (WR)
- Tight End (TE)
- Offensive Line (OL)
- Defensive Line (DL)
- Linebacker (LB)
- Cornerback (CB)
- Safety (S)
It took a while, but I finally put together my own version of the Sun Devils’ 2023 depth chart. It’s not perfect, of course, but it’s based on all the info I could gather. I just made it on a file in my computer, nothing too fancy. I just listed out each position and then ranked the players based on what I found.
It was a pretty interesting experience, to be honest. It gave me a whole new appreciation for how much work goes into managing a college football team. It’s not just about who’s the best player, but also about strategy, potential, and a bunch of other stuff. And you know what? I might just keep updating it throughout the season to see how things change. We’ll see!
