Injury update
The Flames are looking pretty good on the injury front with Coach Gill only listing tight ends Will Johnson and Garrett Long. Both are probable and should be ready to go Saturday against Indiana State.
Change at returner
The only notable change on this week’s depth chart is at returner. With Zac Parker’s struggles returning kicks, he is no longer listed on the depth chart at returner. Alpha Jalloh and Joshua Smith are listed as starting kick returners with Dakota Kelly and Isaac Brown as their backups. Parker is listed alongside Kelly as starting punt returner.
Woodrum was named Big South POW
