What appears to be a spring 2021 roster is posted. Some observations (feel free to correct me anyone):
Noteworthy Newcomers & Transfers
- Aulden Knight is a CB transfer from Cincinnati by way of FCS Hampton. Had nice stats at Hampton before transferring to Cincy where he was used as a kick returner. Injured in 2019.
- Jaohne Duggan is a DL transfer from Rutgers. Played in 21 games between '18 and '19. He'll bring some much needed experience.
- Mark Conley is a big boy OL. 6-9 330 transfer from St. Anselm. Played three high school sports with that size.
- Anfrenee Williams is back at RB. Was on the freshman All-American team with Edinboro way back in 2014. Could work his way to being starting RB.
Noteworthy Names Missing
- Kyle Schreiner is a huge OL. Not sure why he's missing but he may be up to graduate in May and not continue.
- Gilberto Ortiz is a huge loss on defense. Led the team in TFL and sacks.
Other Thoughts & Conjecture
- They'll have a tough time replacing Te'Nauz Gregory at receiver & returner.
- Leading receiver, defensive back, linebacker, and kick returner all gone.
- QB seems to be open. Andrew Tomko is gone and unfortunately never seemed to adjust to college ball. Cal transfer Jordan Castelli is probably the front runner as the only QB with experience.
- This is a SUPER young team with a new coaching staff. That's perfect for changing culture but I'm not sure that's what was needed. 42 guys on this roster weren't on the roster for the 2019 season. 30 true freshmen and 30 combined juniors, seniors, & grads. Maybe a young roster & young staff is the way to go? There's exactly one coach over age 40.
