Texas Tech has released the post spring depth chart. If you need a point of reference, I'm going to refer you to the positional write-ups from this spring:
PREVIOUS ROSTER REVIEWS
Quarterbacks | Running Backs | Offensive Line | Receivers
Defensive Line | Linebackers | Secondary | Special Teams
This is more about you than it is about me and love to know your thoughts on the depth chart. I've done some tables after the jump to hopefully help you visualize the positions.
So much internet good-good is after the jump.
DEFENSE
LE | DT | NT | RE | ||
Sam Fehoko | Kerry Hyder | Donald Langley | Dartwan Bush | ||
Jackson Richards | SAM | Lawrence Rumph | Pearlie Graves | MIKE | Aundrey Barr |

Jared Flannel | Giorgio Durham | Brett Dewhurst |
This is probably just me, but I really can't see Fehoko starting at defensive end full time. Once DE Scott Smith and DE Leon Mackey either get back into the good graces of the staff or arrive on campus, I think that defensive end rotation changes a bit. I also don't necessarily think that the absence of a player necessarily means that the player isn't in the rotation. Guys like Chris Perry, Coby Coleman and Dennell Wesley will make an impact this fall, as well as the aforementioned Mackey and Smith (assuming they both see the field).
I'm a little surprised not to see Tyrone Sonier on the depth chart and that he's been supplanted by some younger players. I don't know if and where he fits on the field. Linebacker is a pretty thin position as far as depth so it's something to watch during the fall.
Go back and look at the secondary review and you'll note the number of options available at these positions. Lots of depth here, the question is if they can play and I think we may not know this answer until Glasgow is given more than a month to put in his system. It's supposed to be a more simple system, especially for the defensive backs (we'll get into that later in the summer).
OFFENSE

Darrin Moore | Y IR | Terry McDaniel | Lonnie Edwards | Justin Keown | Deveric Gallington | Mickey Okafor | H IR | Eric Ward |

Aaron Crawford |
Surprisingly, the first thing that jumped out at me was Ontiveros at the "Big H" running back position. If you don't recall, Ontiveros is a former walk-on defensive tackle and I guess now he's a running back, which probably makes more sense. There's not a lot of surprises on the line, other than Gallington didn't take the back-up center position and David Neill, who I think I forgot to mention on the offensive line, is the back-up center.
The position battles at the X WR and Z WR look delicious.
