Old Dominion football coach Ricky Rahne released his depth chart Monday morning for ODU's opener at Wake Forest Friday night, and although it doesn't say who will start at quarterback, it confirms how important it was for the Monarchs to recruit well in the transfer portal.
At least five transfers from Football Bowl Subdivision schools are starting, including two on the offensive line and two in the defensive backfield.
Virginia transfer Gerrik Vollmer (6-foot-5, 313-pounds) will start at center, and that will free sixth-year senior Isaac Weaver (6-6, 303) to move to left tackle, the so-called "Blind Side" tackle, considered the most important position on the offensive line.
