Quarterback's:
Starter: Jalen Milroe
Reserves: Ty Simpson, Dylan Lonergan, Austin Mack

Analysis: Outside of specialists, this is about as easy to predict as any position on the roster. Milroe is the guy and has a chance to thrive under DeBoer, new offensive coordinator Nick Sheridan and offensive analyst Mitch Dahlen, a former collegiate quarterback who also worked with Michael Penix Jr. for two seasons.

Running back's:
Starters: Jam Miller, Justice Haynes
Reserves: Richard Young, Daniel Hill, Kevin Riley

Analysis: Get ready for the Jam and Justice show this season. Young is going to have a role in the offense too, though. Consider it a three-headed monster with Miller and Haynes leading the way.

Receiver's:
Starters: Germie Bernard, Kendrick Law, Ryan Williams
Reserves: Kobe Prentice, Emmanuel Henderson Jr., Caleb Odom, Cole Adams, Jaren Hamilton, Amari Jefferson, Rico Scott, Bubba Hampton

Analysis: Williams might not start against Western Kentucky, but it seems inevitable he's going to be a top weapon in the not-so-distant future. Not to put too high of expectations on Williams, but he's got a chance to be a generational talent. Overall, expect a variety of players to have opportunities at receiver. It's quite possible five or six receivers have a sizeable role in the offense.

Tight end's:
Starter: CJ Dippre
Reserves: Robbie Ouzts, Josh Cuevas, Danny Lewis, Ty Lockwood, Jay Lindsey

Analysis: Dippre could be a valuable target for Milroe, especially in intermediate throws. Washington had plenty of talented receivers in 2023, but tight end Jack Westover still caught 46 receptions for 433 yards and four scores.

Offensive line:
Starters: Kadyn Proctor (left tackle), Tyler Booker (left guard), Parker Brailsford (center), Jaeden Roberts (right guard), Wilkin Formby (right tackle)
Reserves: Elijah Pritchett, Geno VanDeMark, Miles McVay, Naquil Betrand, Casey Poe, Roq Montgomery, Olaus Alinen, Joseph Ionata, William Sanders

Analysis: Proctor should regain the starting left tackle spot by the time the season starts. The main battle figures to be at right tackle between Formby and Pritchett, and the competition could continue into the season.
