Enlightening math. How many of the 76 will be 5th year seniors? How many of the 4th and 5th year guys have a legit shot of playing time? How about walk-ons? A guy in my freshman dorm walked on, tho didn't get any playing time until his fourth and fifth years. Not sure if he ever was on a scholarship though.

21 are academic seniors with one year of eligibility left (all but Colby Parkinson, who is an academic junior with a year left).  Two (Peek and Powell) have entered the portal.

Academic seniors with eligibility remaining (excluding transfer portalites):
KJ Costello*
Jack Richardson†
Trevor Speights†
Dorian Maddox†
Scooter Harrington
Donald Stewart†
Devery Hamilton*
Henry Hattis*
Michael Williams*
Jovan Swann*
Thomas Schaffer
Jordan Fox*
Curtis Robinson*
Andrew Pryts*
Obi Eboh*
Treyjohn Butler†
Malik Antoine*
JJ Parson†

Guys with a * have started or are current starters.
Guys with a † I would think have little chance to have substantial playing time, but that's subjective.  You can make an argument that some of the guys with a * should also have a †.

Among the rising academic seniors, that's a really strong class.  I think most are either starters or significant contributors.  Looking at the roster, I think only Ryan Johnson, and Noah Williams are unlikely to see much playing time unless injuries or early departures open up those positions.

Thanks. Seems like quite a few with little or no chance of seeing a decent amount of playing time. Are our commitments to the scholarship athletes for four or five years? I'd imagine if we ask them to redshirt it'd be for five. Is there any appropriate way to say, hey, it doesn't look like you'll be playing next year and we need the scholarship space, then help them financially in a graduate program and not have them part of the football program?
