This list includes players listed at lock who could cross over. What it doesn't include are players who are really close, but still wrapped up in college, or not quite eligible yet, or perhaps a shade young. This isn't the 2020 depth chart; it's the right now depth chart. 

Also not in this list if Andrew Durutalo or Danny Barrett or Ben Pinkelman, players who could be in consideration but have stated their commitment to the US sevens team.
