While many programs have all eyes on preseason quarterback battles, Sam Houston already knows who its signal caller will be. However, the Bearkats still have plenty of positions that are up for grabs.
There should be other returning starters on offense, while the defense could see a few transfers step into starting spots.
Here are my projections for Sam Houston’s two-deep depth chart, as of mid-July:
