Good news.

Haines back as punter.

Hale back on the DL.

A bunch of graduate OL players.

Rodarte back in.

Made my day.

Things of note

-No Odjugo

-Poulos back. Six quarterbacks on the roster.

-I assume the handful of 2026 freshmen signees not appearing are not early enrollees. Hopefully.

-12 OL with two under 260 lbs. Would feel better about the position with 15 or so.

-Safety is a ? beyond DJ Walker

-LOTS of receivers to choose from. Should be high level competition for the rotation.

-Running back depth, but who will emerge as the starter?

Papas is on the roster as a QB. I know he went into the portal. Does this mean it is not up to date, or is he back on the team? It's a minor issue, but it tells me if this is up to date or not.

I think Odjugo is waiting to hear if he has another year.

At least 4 Freshman OL not listed.

Some of the DB transfers not listed…at least one would make a decent safety starter.

I was most worried about depth at Kicker and OL but it seems that need has been addressed.

That will be quite a battle between Brune and Rosa and Taylor for starting RB.

KSU kicker went 8/11, only attempting 1 from 40 or longer which he missed. Stats that will do nothing to reduce the number of kicker-related Xanax prescriptions of bobcat attack posters.

Really excited to see how the RB situation plays out. And 6 QB's !! Gotta think the transfer has to be the favorite for now.

And thrilled to see Dukes for another year.

Your starting QB... Victor Rosa.

He has played some QB….I guess in high school.

Don’t underestimate Vezza at QB.

Looks like a winner judging by his 2025 stats. Definitely a welcome addition.

Handled placekicking duties in all 12 games.
Made all 31 PAT attempts.
Kicked off 51 times for 3,176 yards (62.3 avg) with 27 touchbacks.
Attempted 11 field goals, making 8 (72.7%)

Almost all of the transfers appear on the initial 2026 roster...which to be honest is pretty surprising.

The only two names that are not present...

Eli Thompson (Holy Cross)
KJ Sjour (Chatanooga)
