Tulane enters 2025 with a TON of starters to replace. I can’t remember the last time this team had this much turnover, but that is life in the transfer portal era. A quick glance at the offensive leaders from last year gives you a sense of how much production has departed from Sumrall’s first season uptown.

The top passer, the top runner and the top pass catcher are gone. In fact, the top 5 pass catchers are gone. Williams, Brown, Fleming, Bauman and Hughes for those playing trivia at home.

The question becomes who will be the leaders of the new look wave. Last year I started early with the depth chart before the spring portal turned things upside down. I had been waiting to put this out until there was a little more clarity at the games most important position. With the massive Retzlaff news, I knew it was time to publish the depth chart. Here is my best guess at the two deep with new players highlighted.

QB Jake Retzlaff Kadin Semonza

RB Maurice Turner JaMauri McClure Arnold Barnes (expect all 3 to get snaps)

WR-X Shazz Preston Jimmy Calloway
