When the depth chart for the UT-Martin game was released Monday morning, there was a mix of old and new faces.
One of the familiar faces was junior offensive lineman Robert Conyers, who was listed as the number one center on the depth chart. Freeze announced last week that Conyers will be the starting center for the season, while senior Ben Still will get reps at other positions on the offensive line.
Conyers played in every game last season while making one start at center against LSU and two at right tackle against Auburn and Presbyterian.
His role will change as the 290-pound junior is now listed as the starting center for the season.
The new face on the depth chart is redshirt sophomore wide receiver Damore’ea Stringfellow.
Stringfellow could cause big problems for opposing defenses with his great size and physicality opposite of junior wide receiver Laquon Treadwell. His size along with his great hands and speed could give the new quarterback, whoever it may be, big targets at both outside receiver positions.
Stringfellow sat out last season after transferring from the University of Washington. Misconduct off the field and poor route running in the spring put him in a tough spot when it comes to playing time.
All of that aside, Stringfellow would be a great addition to the passing game.
