What are your takeaways? Class info updated, signed players with bios at bottom now....

-Looks like all the guys that entered the TP have been removed from roster (regardless if they've committed to new school or now). Guys like Mejia, Da. Gandy, Rose, KB, etc.
-Kuntz back, listed as Sr.
-Bryson Summers listed as a Jr.
-Burnett, Borders, Johnson, and Morris returning RBs

 
The DeSean Watts redemption arc is still the most fascinating story with the team this season. That dude is a Hornet.

The new potential safeties were listed as DBs. All returning safeties are listed as safeties except for Davion Ross who is listed as an DB. And we still have NB Designations as well. I will be very interested to see the scheme we will run in the back. I think it’ll be five guys, but early things I’m hearing is it’s going to be unique without defined SS and FS roles. Stay tuned.

I think the new RBs are the top three on the depth chart, and I would be SHOCKED if Jamar Curtis is not RB1. With a couple smaller receivers also joining the mix, I am saddened for a guy like Curron Borders. Love watching the kid play and his heart. But it’s a numbers game. Zeke might be the best fourth string RB in FCS Football next season (if he can stay healthy).

Our WR room looks to be the worst room we’ve ever had. Hope these new kids who got no reps in the FBS come in and surprise me. Makai’s YouTube channel has a good series on his post surgery rehab if you guys haven’t seen it. He’s a hard worker for sure.

We have a passing QB and the best RB room in the FCS and no proven wideouts. I think we won’t be showing our hand to much in the spring game as to what we are actually planning to do next year, but we have 8 TEs on the roster for a reason. My prediction for 2025. We are run heavy and throw bombs on play action. 70/30 run but equal yardage because we are going to work on Carson’s deep ball accuracy all offseason.
 
I didn't major in mathematics, but best I can tell that is 104 names on the spring roster. With a few guys apparently committed, yet still unsigned.

FCS allows 63 scholarships. However, from what I've read, if opted into the recent House/NCAA settlement, those scholarships can be spread among 105 players.

FBS increases from 85 to 105 scholarships, beginning this upcoming 2025–2026 season.

What? Half scholies for football like with baseball and softball? That's a HUGE development that I hadn't seen.

Does that schollie increase essentially eliminate walk-ons? Or is it anything goes?

FCS was allowed to split the 63 schollies between 85 players. Not sure what is allowed, or if it changed, with the new roster limits.

I think the tight ends blocking & receiving will will be very active in pass game too.
I’m excited and can’t wait to see the new offense
 
I think as a make good for his demotion, Fresques nephew Jaxon is on the roster at WR. Small kid but had 10 TDs his senior year.

We now have 9 TEs on the roster.

Additions subtractions from the last spring roster that were Hornets in 2024 (non exhaustive, this is off of memory.)

Subtractions
Davion Ross
Isaac Espinosa
Dawit Crain

Additions
Zelmar Veddar back officially
Josh Cashiola back officially
Aidan Meek back officially

Curious that Hayden Anderson, Jojo Solis, Fresques and Elijah Huddle are listed on the spring roster and all the other freshman signees are not… are we actually expecting them this spring? Did these guys early enroll?

Anybody who is a freshman who is on the spring roster early enrolled... They cannot list them on an official roster until they are admitted and enrolled in classes.
