Projected 2009 spring depth chart
I know it's very, very early, but here's what we can sort of expect going into spring practice. Penn State has a bunch of really good players coming back, which makes it all the more difficult to tell who will take over once we get into summer workouts. Here's my projected spring depth chart:
*Notes: Jerome Hayes will probably play a stand-up defensive end position, similar to what he was doing the past two seasons before he was hurt. Andrew Dailey is rumored to be moving to safety, but he might end up staying at linebacker. I put Graham Zug as the backup punt return specialist because Joe Paterno usually likes to have one white guy with good hands available.First_Team_(Off.)_ Second_Team______ Reserves____________________ QB D.

I love the Zug comment. Very true.
Do you really think Hull will still start at middle linebacker?
I sure hope not.
JoePa likes keeping a defensive back as a punt return specialist during possible fake punt opportunities...much more reliable tackler than a WR. If you want to go with the white guy theory a better guess would be Astorino or Sukay.
Devin Smith will be returning Kicks/Punts - he is ridiculously quick - peep his highlight films. This is what the little bugger excels at.
