LAWRENCE — Kansas football coach Charlie Weis released the program's first preseason depth chart on Wednesday. And the Jayhawks' two-deep lineup features a large collection of newcomers — transfers and freshmen.

Three notable spots: Josh Williams, a senior transfer from Nebraska, is listed as a starter at defensive end. Tight end Mike Ragone, a senior transfer from Notre Dame, sits atop the depth chart at that position. And linebacker Anthony McDonald, another senior transfer from Notre Dame, is listed as the starter at middle linebacker. (A brief explanation from Weis on how to read the chart: Many positions, first-string and second-string, are too close to differentiate at this time. In each case, there's an "OR" listed at that spot.)
