Ohio State Football Depth Chart 2009 Released The Ohio State Buckeyes have released their depth chart for the first game of the 2009 season against the Navy Midshipmen with little surprises from what has been the depth chart coming out of camp from scrimmages and practices. The big battles and Left Tackle and Cornerback were reported to have been won by Andy Miller and Andre Amos respectively and that is the way they came out on the first week of the season. By Steve Patterson Starting with the Defense, Rob Rose has moved down to defensive tackle while Cameron Heyward is set to play outside on the edge. Orhian Johnson makes it onto the two deep for the first time in his young Ohio State career behind Kurt Coleman and strong safety. And Travis Howard falls in behind Chimdi Chekwa to cover the one backfield position. DT 84 Doug Worthington 53 Garrett Goebel 9 Rob Rose DT 72 Dexter Larimore 92 Todd Denlinger DE 90 Thaddeus Gibson 43 Nathan Williams DE 97 Cameron Heyward 87 Lawrence Wilson WLB 51 Ross Homan 42 Andrew Sweat SLB 38 Austin Spitler 6 Etienne Sabino MLB 36 Brian Rolle 41 Tony Jackson FS 21 Anderson Russell 7 Jermale Hines SS 4 Kurt Coleman 19 Orhian Johnson 8 Aaron Gant CB 13 Andre Amos 10 Devon Torrence CB 5 Chimdi Chekwa 18 Travis Howard On Offense, there are a couple true freshman coming in as fullbacks in Zach Boren and Adam Homan. Duran Carter makes the two deep at wide receiver sharing a spot with Ray Small. Jake Stoneburner gets the 2nd string tight end spot after switching positions in the off season. His blocking skills not fully developed, he should be more of a passing target than fans have seen in the past at tight end. True Freshman Marcus Hall, Jack Mewhort and Corey Linsay all make the second string on the offensive line.
