Open practice No. 2 was Wednesday, and it’s probably the last time we’ll be able to see the Jayhawks on the field before their Sept. 5 season-opener against Northern Colorado.

Let’s get right to the depth charts from what I saw. Here was the depth chart from Aug. 11 if you want to compare.

First-team offense

Left tackle — Tanner Hawkinson
Left guard — Brad Thorson
Center — Jeremiah Hatch
Right guard — Sal Capra
Right tackle — Jeff Spikes
Tight end — Tim Biere
Wide Receiver — Dezmon Briscoe
Wide Receiver — Kerry Meier
Wide Receiver — Johnathan Wilson
Running back — Jake Sharp
Quarterback — Todd Reesing

Others who were with the first team, based on formation — WR Bradley McDougald, RB Toben Opurum.

Obviously, the big news here is that Brad Thorson has moved from backup center to starting left guard. On the last depth chart, Carl Wilson was the starter. I’d heard teammates talk about Thorson performing well in offseason drills, and this looks to be the coaching staff’s way of getting him into the lineup. He was with the first string every snap I saw, so if I had to guess, I would say he will be the starter at left guard come Sept. 5.

Also, McDougald and Opurum subbing into the first units tells me that they will most likely be playing as true freshmen.

The running-back depth chart at this point, if you’re interested, looks to be Sharp, Opurum, Rell Lewis then Daniel Porter.

First-team defense

Left end — Maxwell Onyegbule
Defensive tackle — Patrick Dorsey
Defensive tackle — Richard Johnson, Jr.
Right end — Jake Laptad
Linebacker — Drew Dudley
Linebacker — Arist Wright
Linebacker — Justin Springer
Defensive back — Daymond Patterson
Defensive back — Anthony Davis
Safety — Justin Thornton
Safety — Darrell Stuckey

Others who were with the first team, based on formation — Safety Chris Harris, LB Steven Johnson, LB Huldon Tharp, DE Jeff Wheeler.

KU coach Mark Mangino mentioned last week that Onyegbule had made progress, and it looks like that improvement has moved him up the depth chart.

Dorsey is definitely a surprise with the first team, though the D-linemen were rotating quite a bit.

The linebacking spots still look to be open as there was quite a bit of substituting there as well. Springer, who has been limited because of injury, had some snaps with the first team, so that should be a positive sign for Kansas fans. Don’t know if Angus Quigley is hurt or not, but I didn’t see him on any snaps with the first or second units.

Here are the unofficial second teams I had down. Take them with a grain of salt.

Second-team offense

Left tackle — Ian Wolfe
Left guard — John Williams
Center — Alex Smith
Right guard — Trevor Marrongelli
Right tackle — Michael Martinovich
Tight end — Ted McNulty
Wide Receiver — Isiah Barfield
Wide Receiver — Reece Petty
Wide Receiver — Chris Omigie
Running back — Rell Lewis
Quarterback — Kerry Meier

Others who were with the second team, based on formation — QB Kale Pick, RB Daniel Porter, WR Willie O’Quinn, TE A.J. Steward.

Second-team defense

Left end — Jeff Wheeler
Defensive tackle — Duane Zlatnik
Defensive tackle — Travis Stephens
Right end — Quintin Woods
Linebacker — Vernon Brooks
Linebacker — Steven Johnson
Defensive back — Ryan Murphy
Defensive back — Calvin Rubles
Defensive back — Greg Brown
Safety — Lubbock Smith
Safety — Phillip Strozier

I wasn’t able to get down most of the defensive second-team subs, so it’s likely I’m leaving out a few folks that were with the second team. I know I saw Steven Foster, a former fullback, play some defensive end, though I can’t remember whether it was with the 2s or 3s.

Some notes from the scrimmage at the end of practice:

• Dezmon Briscoe made two spectacular catches, taking in one ball after it was batted up in the air and another with one hand on a bullet pass.

• Freshman Chris Omigie had a highlight-reel catch of his own, snagging a sideline pass with one hand before pinning it to his arm. He also had the presence of mind to make sure he had a foot inbounds.

• Kerry Meier dropped a wide-open pass. Again, something you just don’t expect.

• Quintin Woods made an athletic play, knocking a Kale Pick pass up in the air before diving to intercept it himself.

• Pick did have one nice long throw, hitting Raimond Pendleton in stride on a pass about 40 yards downfield.
