Ahead of the Ducks’ season opener against Auburn on Saturday, Oregon has released their positional depth chart. There aren’t many surprises on the offensive side of the ball, but a few things pop up on defense.

At defensive end, Gus Cumberlander OR highly touted freshman Kayvon Thibodeaux are listed as the starter. At defensive tackle, the depth chart lists junior Austin Faoliu OR senior Drayton Carlberg. It remains to be seen how new Defensive Coordinator Andy Avalos is going to mix different looks at particular matchups. Today’s depth chart gives us a little bit of a hint as the season approaches. The full chart is below:
