The first practice of fall camp starts today in a much anticipated 3rd year for head coach Steve Sarkisian. Here is a quick rundown of the depth chart as of now. Depth chart information provided by Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times.

Quarterback

1. #17  Keith Price  6-1 195 RS-So  Compton, CA
2. #5  Nick Montana  6-3 203 RS-Fr  Thousands Oaks, CA
3. Derrick Brown

The starting QB is Keith Price’s job to lose. Sark will give Nick Montana a shot and will give Derrick Brown some reps with the #2 offense.

Tailback

1. #1  Chris Polk  5-11 222 RS-Jr  Redlands, CA
2. #24  Jesse Callier  5-10 200 So  Downey, CA
3. #23  Johri Fogerson  6-1 205 Sr  Kent, WA
4. #29  Willis Wilson  5-9 191 RS-Fr  Lakewood, WA
5. Kyle Lewis

Chris Polk is a pre-season all Pac-12 candidate and has been named to Phil Steele’s All-America 4th team. Kyle Lewis will get some looks also.

Fullback

1. #48  Jonathan Amosa  5-11 230 RS-Jr  Seattle, WA

The position that has been hit the hardest with injuries. Some defensive players will get a possible look in goal line formations.

Wide Receiver

1. #9  Devin Aguilar  6-0 195 Sr  Denver, CO
2. #7  Cody Bruns  5-11 175 Sr  Prosser, WA
3. #27  William Chandler  6-0 191 RS-So  Sammamish, WA

These guys will mostly play in the slot. The upperclassmen do know how to play several positions and can see looks in the flanker and split end as well.

Wide Receiver

1. #8  Kevin Smith  6-0 209 So  Compton, CA
2. #19  DiAndre Campbell  6-1 195 RS-Fr  Oakland, CA
3. #83  Luther Leonard  6-2 190 Jr  Seattle, WA

Campbell adds some much needed depth to the flanker position.

Wide Receiver

1. #15  Jermaine Kearse  6-2 208 Sr  Lakewood, WA
2. #3  James Johnson  6-1 198 Jr  Valley Center, WA
3. Kasen Williams

Jermaine Kearse was named to Phil Steele’s All-American 4th team. All eyes will be on Kasen Williams to see how well he deals with college defensive backs.

Tight End

1. #88  Austin Seferian-Jenkins  6-6 258 Fr  Fox Island, WA
2. #84  Michael Hartvigson  6-6 254 RS-Fr  Bothell, WA
3. #80  Evan Hudson  6-6 260 RS-Fr  Bothell, WA
4. #81  Marlion Barnett  6-2 224 So  Corona, CA

Tight Ends have been non-existent in Sark’s system the last two years. This will most likely change in 2011 with a deep and talented corps.

Left Tackle

1. #56  Senio Kelemete  6-4 301 Sr  Seattle, WA
2. #72  Micah Hatchie  6-5 285 RS-Fr  Haleiwa, HI

Senio was the only lineman to start at the same position every game in 2010.

Left Guard

1. #64  Colin Tanigawa  6-3 297 RS-Fr  Pasadena, CA
2. #78  Mike Criste  6-5 280 RS-Fr  Mission Viejo, CA

Sark said at Pac-12 media day that Kohler will likely start out concentrating on his tackle duties, which apparently means Tanigawa will be the main guy here to begin.

Center

1. #73  Drew Schaefer  6-4 301 Jr  Sammamish, WA

If something were to happen to Schaefer, Porter would likely move here and they’d shuffle other players to fill in at guard.

Right Guard

1. #79  Colin Porter  6-4 322 So  Bothell, WA
2. #70  James Atoe  6-6 337 RS-Fr  The Dalles, OR
3. #52  Nick Wood  6-3 303 Sr  Poway, CA

Porter played in 10 of 13 games as a true freshman in 2010 and won the “Construction Crew” Weight Lifting Award at the team’s postseason banquet.

Right Tackle

1. #75  Erik Kohler  6-5 298 So  Camarillo, CA
2. #59 Ben Riva  6-6 300 RS-Fr  Seattle, WA
3. #67  Skyler Fancher  6-6 301 Sr  Costa Mesa, CA

Kohler started at left guard and right tackle as a true freshman in 2010.

Rush End

1. #22  Josh Shirley  6-3 229 RS-Fr  Fontana, CA

Sark created a new position for this talented incoming freshman. One of 12 semifinalists for the Butkus Award, given to the nation’s top high school linebacker.

Defensive End

1. #52  Hau’oli Jamora  6-3 247 So  Laie, HI
2. #93  Andrew Hudson  6-3 231 RS-Fr  Redlands, CA

Jamora comes off of a big-time Holiday Bowl performance and won the team’s Travis Spring Most Outstanding Freshman Award at the postseason team banquet.

Defensive Tackle

1. #55  Sione Potoa’e  6-2 276 So  Fort Lewis, WA
2. #98  Semisi Tokolahi  6-2 334 Jr  Hilo, HI
3. Danny Shelton

At the moment, each has some injury questions. Danny Shelton could factor in quickly here.

Defensive Tackle

1. #74  Alameda Ta’amu  6-3 337 Sr  Kent, WA
2. #97  Lawrence Lagafuaina  6-0 329 Aiea, HI

Ta’amu earned honorable mention to the All Pac-10 team in 2010.

Defensive End

1. #92  Everrette Thompson  6-6 272 Sr  Renton, WA
2. #11  Talia Crichton  6-3 255 Jr  Lakewood, CA

With Crichton back healthy, this should be a strong position.

Weakside Linebacker

1. #53  Garret Gilliland  6-0 226 So  Anaheim, CA
2. #51  Jordan Wallace  6-0 237 Jr  Sacramento, CA
3. #10  John Timu  6-1 220 Fr  Long Beach, CA

The loss of two seniors brings a lot of shuffling of players at both the WLB and SLB spots to get the best three LBs on the field.

Middle Linebacker

1. #31  Cort Dennison  6-1 234 Sr  Salt Lake City, UT
2. #3  Thomas Tutogi  6-1 244 So  Chula Vista, CA
3. #54  Tim Tucker  6-1 240 RS-So  Harbor City, CA
4. #15  Victor Burnett  5-11 234 RS-Fr  Los Angeles, CA

Dennison was named Academic All-Pac-10 honorable mention in 2010.

Strongside Linebacker

1. #58  Jamaal Kearse  6-2 224 RS-Fr  Lakewood, WA
2. #37  Princeton Fuimaono  6-1 215 So  Long Beach, CA
3. #43  Cooper Pelleur  6-3 225 So  Sammamish, WA

A wide open spot here. Fuimaono and Pelluer missed much of the spring with shoulder injuries and their return will help clear up the LB spots.

Cornerback

1. #6  Desmond Trufant  6-0 184 Jr  Tacoma, WA
2. #26  Anthony Gobern  5-11 187 Jr  Fair Oaks, CA
3. #38  Marquis Persley  6-0 192 Sr  Redlands, CA

Marcus Peters and Antavius Sims could factor in quickly to the depth here.

Strong Safety

1. #1  Sean Parker  5-10 202 So  Los Angeles, CA
2. #13  Will Shamburger  6-0 192 RS-So  Compton, CA
3. #14  Taz Stevenson  6-1 203 So  Mililani, HI

All three players have a shot at the starting nod.

Free Safety

1. #29  Nate Fellner  6-1 201 Jr  Fresno, CA
2. #20  Justin Glenn  5-11 206 RS-Jr  Mukilteo, WA
3. #39  Greg Walker  5-10 203 RS-Jr  Bellflower, CA

Fellner tied for fourth in the Pac-10 in interceptions for 2010.

Cornerback

1. #28  Quinton Richardson  6-0 203 RS-Sr  Renton, WA
2. #18  Gregory Ducre  5-10 173 So  Los Angeles, CA
3. #27  Adam Long  5-10 173  RS-Jr  Los Angeles, CA

Ducre adds much needed depth when healthy.

Kicker

1. #17  Erik Folk  5-11 185 RS-Sr  Woodland Hills, CA
2. #16  Eric Guttorp  5-7 179 Sr  Seattle, WA

Sark petitioning the NCAA for a medical redshirt 6th year for Folk.

Punter

1. #94  Kiel Rasp  6-3 225 Sr  Seattle, WA
2. #46  Will Mahan  5-11 196 RS-Sr  Bakersfield, CA

Rasp came in and did an admirable job when Mahan went down for the season in 2010. Should be a good battle.
