In addition to naming its starting quarterback, Cal also released its first depth chart of the season Thursday. There are no big surprises on the list, as I mentioned who I thought would be in the mix at certain positions yesterday, but it is nice to see some clarity at several spots.

Some of the notable decisions: Trond Grizzell (Z) atop the depth chart ahead of Brian Hightower and Taj Davis though there are "ors" separating each of them; Stanford transfer Barrett Miller nabs the starting left tackle job; no clear starters at the four positions up front with "ors" between every player — Ethan Saunders, BRETT JOHNSON, Myles Jernigan, David Reese all listed at the top of each position, however; Kaleb Elarms-Orr wins the starting ILB job next to Jackson Sirmon; SDSU transfer Patrick McMorris beats out Raymond Woodie III for a starting safety job; Lu-Magia Hearns isn't able to solidify the starting role completely as there is an "or" between he and Jeremiah Earby opposite Nohl Williams; junior college transfer Matthew Littlejohn beats out Colorado transfer Kaylin Moore and Cam Sidney for the starting nickel job; overall, 8 first-year freshmen are represented on the depth chart with long snapper David Bird being the only one to secure a starting role
