My guess:

Kyler Murray - This will depend on whether he gets drafted and signs a pro baseball contract. I don't see how we can redshirt him with just Allen and McQueen on scholarship. PLAY

Jay Bradford - Between him and Bussey, one will play significantly on special teams, but we'll primarily use Carson, Williams, and White at RB. I think Bussey is the one who plays. REDSHIRT.

Kendall Bussey - See Bradford

Christian Kirk - He could be starting by the end of the Spring if he passed Tabuyo up. START

Damion Ratley - JUCO skill players don't commit to Kevin Sumlin to redshirt. PLAY

Kemah Siverand - I'd say redshirt, but Jeffery played last year. Still saying REDSHIRT

Jordan Davis - PLAY...a lot. STARTING TE

All OL - REDSHIRT. Even the two JUCOs redshirted last year. We're deep enough on OL. MAYBE one plays like Gustafson did, but I doubt it.

James Lockhart - PLAY. He may end up starting at SDE by the end of the year.

Daylon Mack - START...but not until the middle of the season (like Myles Garrett)

Kingsley KeKe - PLAY. Unless Washington, Manning, Walker, Henderson, and Arnold are all much better, he plays.

Claude George - START

Richard Moore, Landis Durham, Dwayne Thomas - PLAY. Pretty much every linebacker but Garner is guaranteed to play

Riley Garner - Redshirt based on his recovery

All DBs - PLAY. Evans, Dunning, and Pryor are all candidates to start...Elam and DCS will play.

LaCamera - Depends on whether or not 2012 Bertolet or 2015 Bertolet shows up. If it's the former, he'll start at PK. If it's the latter, he redshirts. I say REDSHIRT.

It's fun to have all of this to think about.
I really hope that LaCamera is ready to go, in case TB can't get it done. Kicking game and special teams are always woefully underrated in terms of what actually wins (or, more often, loses) football games.

My guess:

Kyler Murray - Redshirt.

Kendall Bussey - Play. Mainly bc of 2016 and Trey leaving

Christian Kirk - He could be starting by the end of the Spring if he passed Tabuyo up. START

All OL - OL is the biggest concern going into next year. It's hard to know how good our current players are, but outside of Ifedi and Matthews there's concerns. Hopefully freshman aren't needed

James Lockhart - Redshirt and possibly change positions to MLB. It kinda makes sense with the 2016 talent pool being DL heavy

Daylon Mack - START...but not until the middle of the season (like Myles Garrett)

Kingsley KeKe - PLAY if Washington and Manning are busts. If one steps up he redshirts

Claude George, Richard Moore, Landis Durham, Dwayne Thomas - Each has a chance to play. We're desperate. The EE's have the inside shot

All DBs - PLAY. Evans, Dunning, and Pryor are all candidates to start...Elam and DCS will play. No choice with how poorly last year went

LaCamera - REDSHIRT.

Agree w/ these exceptions (subject to change in event of injuries to players ahead of them in the 2-deep):

Lockhart and Keke: Think they redshirt. We are actually extremely deep on the DL for the first time since I don't know when. Daylon plays because he's on another level.

Moore/Durham/Thomas - I think at least one of these guys takes an RS. Maybe two. With Shaan/Hilliard/Alaka/Walker/Claude ahead of them, we can afford to let some put some more meat on their bones. And call me crazy, I still haven't given up on Mastro.

If Watts gets moved back to CB, then I could see all three Safeties playing. Otherwise, Donovan Wilson will allow one of them to RS.
