JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Aug. 26, 2015) – Following practice on Wednesday evening, head coach Carl Torbush released ETSU’s depth chart to the media.

“We had to be smart when creating the depth chart,” said Torbush. “We don’t want to play everyone this year, otherwise three years from now we will have over 70 seniors and won’t have room for any freshman or sophomores. If everything is equal, we are going to play the guys who have already been here a year. If there’s a big discrepancy in athleticism or due to injury, then we will play some of the freshman. Some of the freshman will be playing.”
