Martinez and Hogan will be the hardest to replace in my opinion closely followed by Shittu and Scarlett. The other 6 will be greatly missed but we should have able bodied replacements with decent experience for those 6.
Given the lack of depth behind them, Shittu and Scarlett are easily the hardest to replace. It comes down to a post-ACL Phillips and Thomas and a bunch of question marks (either freshmen/redshirt freshmen or fifth year seniors who never cracked the lineup).
We have experienced depth behind Martinez; given that Davis was out much of the year, a MLB of Davis/Palma should be fine. Behind that, though, we will struggle with depth given that Perez has been out of his depth for much of the year.
Tough to replace Hogan, but we do have players (Chryst) who could potentially replace him. Still, tough to replace a QB with 3.5 years of starting experience in a pro-style offense.
