Defensive Depth Chart

Stephen Tsai has UH's defensive depth chart, which was released last night. The biggest news:

Brashton Satele, who started eight games last season, is moving from middle linebacker to left end.

He is listed No. 1 on the Warriors' defensive depth chart that was released last night.

The move enables Mana Lolotai to ascend to No. 1 middle linebacker.

"We want to get our best 11 guys on the field, and this is one of the ways to do it," UH head coach Greg McMackin said. "Brashton Satele is one our top players. He's one of our playmakers. We think he can do a really good job over there."

Thanks again to ST, as I shall be excerpting the whole depth chart. I'm also adding the player's year next to their names:
