A few notes on the 2021 Stanford Football Personnel grid.
1. Obviously I could not decide whether to do a grid according to eligibility or class, so I did both. I put the grid by class year first simply because it is looks cleaner. Not sure which is more useful. Let me know; I'm happy to tweak.
2. To the 2020 Stanford Football Personnel grid, I have added 23 players
a. The 23-person incoming “CardClass21”
b. If we have more additions, I will add them as well
3. From the 2020 Stanford Football Personnel grid, I have removed 18 players
a. Fifteen who graduated and declined to return
1) Five fifth-year players who have declared for the draft; possible UDFAs
==> TE Scooter Harrington, DE Thomas Schaffer, ILB Curtis Robinson, S Malik Antoine, K Jet Toner
2) Two fifth-year players, retiring from football
==> CB Treyjohn Butler, S J.J. Parson
3) Four seniors who declared for the NFL draft; likely drafted
==> QB Davis Mills, WR Connor Wedington, OT Foster Sarell, C Drew Dalman
4) One senior, retiring from football
==> WR Osiris St. Brown
5) Two walk-on seniors seeking transfers
==> OLB Caleb Phillips (University of Hawaii), TE Kyle McCombs
6) One walk-on senior, retiring from football
==> OG Jake Koffman
b. One junior who declared for the NFL draft; likely drafted
==> WR Simi Fehoko
c. One sophomore who has elected to transfer
==> DE Joshua Pakola
d. One walk-on freshman who has stopped out for church mission work
==> ILB Anson Pulsipher
4. Other seniors who opted out of the 2020 season
==> OT Walker Little is a significant NFL draft prospect
==> CB Paulson Adebo is a significant NFL draft prospect
==> S Stuart Head is transferring to Appalachian State
==> Walk-on DE Dylan Boles is transferring to Northern Iowa
5. When a player is rostered at two positions, I have listed them according to the position named on the front side of the slash. For instance, if a player is rostered as offensive tackle/guard, I have listed them as a tackle. The only exception to this rule is if a player ends up getting more playing time at the position named at the backside of the slash, for instance, if a tackle/guard ends up playing guard, I switch them to guard in the grid (the Devery Hamilton Rule).
6. I have removed all injury designations, though I realize that some players are still injured. This is a projection for the fall, when I am hoping we will have a healthy roster, though recent history suggests it will be otherwise. I have also removed the "other positional responsibilities" (holder, nickelback, returns) designations until those are established.
7. You will note that I have projected starters marked for some positions, but not others. I have only marked starters at positions where I think we are reasonably sure who the starters will be. I am happy to designate starter status to players if and when it seems we are reasonably sure who the starter will be, e.g., it is announced by coaches, a possible starter transfers leaving an obvious candidate, an injury or poor spring performance removes a player from consideration, etc.
8. As always, I appreciate any corrections or input.
