Rams now into third phase of offseason program
FORT COLLINS, Colo.—Head Coach Mike Bobo issued a post-spring depth chart on Tuesday, the Rams' first since the close of the 2018 season.
The Rams conducted their spring practice period from Feb. 14 to March 14, including three scrimmages that gave the coaching staff a solid look at their personnel at every position.
The first team includes returning starters at four positions on offense (QB Collin Hill, FB Adam Prentice, WR Warren Jackson and LG Barry Wesley) and four on defense (DE Emmanuel Jones, NT, Devin Phillips, DT Ellison Hubbard and CB Rashad Ajayi).
Injured players were not included on the two-deep, including the following returnees who were on the final 2018 depth chart: TE Cameron Butler, OL Jeff Taylor, CB Anthony Hawkins and DT Livingston Paogofie. On the roster but not eligible to be listed were S Jamal Hicks and RB Marvin Kinsey, Jr.
The two-deep features three incoming members of the #F19HTON class who enrolled in January and went through spring ball with the team: 1st-team left tackle T.J. Storment (Fullerton College), 2nd-team left tackle Alex Azusenis (Powell, Ohio/Olentangy Liberty HS) and 1st-team nickel back Xavier Goldsmith (Farmington Hills, Mich./Harrison HS). Also on the depth chart are mid-year transfers Jaylen Thomas (Air Force Prep School/Vista Ridge HS) at 2nd-team running back and Eman McNeal (McPherson College/Hinkley HS) at 2nd-team left cornerback.
"What it shows is the way guys made the most of their opportunities throughout spring ball to make an impact on this team," Bobo said. "And that evaluation continues every day, with everything you do to be accountable in all areas of your life. We had a good spring, and now I'm excited to get into the next phase of our offseason strength and conditioning program, 'Green Forge.'"
Seventeen players who joined the program in the summer of 2018, whether as members of #B18HORNS, by transfer or as walk-ons, also appear on the two-deep: CB Rashad Ajayi, DL Jan-Phillip Bombek, S Quinn Brinnon, LB Cam'ron Carter, S Tywan Francis, LB Troy Golden, WR Nikko Hall, OL Ches Jackson, LB Dequan Jackson, S Malcolm Magee, TE Trey McBride, OL Florian McCann, QB Patrick O'Brien, WR Thomas Pannunzio, DL Devin Phillips, LS Ross Reiter and DE Rushton Roberts.
The Rams began their third phase of the offseason this morning. Phase I, "Welcome to the #EDGE," was the initial period of strength and conditioning, while Phase II was the spring practice period. Phase III, "Green Forge," ramps up the strength and conditioning to a new level. The goal over the next eight weeks is to become a tougher, more calloused team, with the name deriving from the way metal is forged in fire and hammered to shape.
