Okay, so I was digging into the Stanford football team’s setup for this year, 2024. Man, it’s always a puzzle figuring out who’s gonna be where on the field, right?
First thing I did was start looking around for any info on the 2024 Stanford Cardinal Football depth chart. I mean, that’s the basic stuff – who are the starters, who are the backups, the whole nine yards.
Then I started checking out individual player’s details. I noticed some interesting stuff, like this guy Slocum. Turns out, he wasn’t even part of the team’s roster in 2024. It’s wild how these things can slip by if you’re not paying attention.
- I also saw some names like Higgins, Elijah listed as a TE, third string, and Wilson, Michael as a WR, first string.
- There’s also this Dalman, Drew, who’s apparently the starting center.
Things got a bit more complicated when I saw an updated depth chart for a game against Syracuse. Changes were made. That’s when you realize these lineups aren’t set in stone. Coaches are always shuffling things around based on performance, injuries, you name it.
One of the biggest head-scratchers was the quarterback situation. There was a huge question for who the main guys are going to be when they go up against TCU. The depth chart was listing Ashton Daniels, Justin Lamson, and Ari Patu as potential starters. That’s three guys for one spot! Coach Troy Taylor wasn’t giving any hints either. Talk about keeping everyone on their toes!
It got me thinking about past Stanford quarterbacks. Did you know that Luck was the fourth one to be selected first overall in the draft? He followed Bobby Garrett in 1954, Jim Plunkett in 1971, and Elway in 1983. Pretty cool legacy there.
But here’s a bummer, I found a recent poll from The Athletic, and it’s not looking too hot for Stanford. They’re ranked number 87 out of 134 FBS teams, the lowest in the ACC. Ouch, that’s gotta sting. It just goes to show that even with a solid history, you gotta keep proving yourself every season.
So yeah, that’s where I’m at with this whole Stanford football depth chart deep dive. It’s a mix of figuring out the current lineup, seeing how things change, and then getting sidetracked by some interesting historical tidbits. Always an adventure!
