Notes on the 2024 Stanford Football Personnel grid:
1. The grid lists players by class year and not eligibility. In the era of transfers and NIL, this seems to be a better way to keep track of players.
2. To the 2023 Stanford Football Personnel grid, I have added 35 players.
a. The 33-person incoming “CardClass24,” consisting of 25 scholarship players and eight preferred walk-ons (PWOs).
b. Four transfer student-athletes
==> Rising junior ILB Jahsiah Galvan (Northern Iowa)
==> Rising junior S Jaivion Green (UW)
==> Rising senior TE Griffin Waiss (UW; non-scholarship)
==> Rising 6th year DL Clay Patterson (Yale)
Note: Green played significantly his freshman and sophomore seasons, so does not have a redshirt. Galvan has three years of eligibility remaining, Waiss two, Patterson one.
3. From the 2023 Stanford Football Personnel grid, I have removed 35 players; those who regularly started marked in bold.
a. One scholarship player declaring for the NFL draft (with eligibility remaining); NFL draft status and team will added parenthetically
==> Senior K Joshua Karty (6th round, Rams)
b. Thirteen players who transferred or are seeking a transfer; new schools added parenthetically.
1) Eight seniors
==> RB E.J. Smith (TAMU)
==> TE Benjamin Yurosek (Georgia)
==> OT James Pogorelc (Duke)
==> DL Zephron Lester (Maine; non-scholarship at Stanford)
==> S Alaka'i Gilman (Utah)
==> OLB Lance Keneley (Zona)
==> S Jimmy Wyrick (UTSA)
==> DL Aaron Armitage (Utah State)
2) One junior
==> QB Ari Patu (North Alabama)
3) Four sophomores
==> RB Jacob Lowe (St. Anselm College; non-scholarship at Stanford)
==> DL Jaxson Moi (Tennessee)
==> CB Terian Williams (Bucknell)
==> ILB Benjamin Hudson (TBD)
c. One player who exhausted his eligibility
==> ILB Spencer Jorgensen (5th year)
d. Ten players graduating (with eligibility remaining); senior scholarship player unless noted
==> OT Alec Bank (5th year)
==> OLB Spencer Lytle (5th year)
==> QB Beau Nelson (non-scholarship)
==> RB Casey Filkins
==> WR John Humphreys
==> WR Silas Starr
==> C Logan Berzins (non-scholarship)
==> DL Matthew Merritt (non-scholarship)
==> OLB Kiersten Lee (non-scholarship)
==> LS Bailey Parsons
e. Ten players retiring from football
==> TE C.J. Hawkins (sophomore)
==> OG Lucas Heyer (sophomore)
==> CB Joshua Thompson (sophomore)
==> S Jaden Slocum (junior)
==> CB Caleb Ellis (sophomore)
==> CB Caymus Rooney (freshman; non-scholarship)
==> DL Pat Caughey (sophomore)
==> RB Brendon Barrow (junior)
==> QB Brayden Hagle (freshman; non-scholarship)
==> ILB Carson Berger (freshman; non-scholarship)
4. Positioning
a. Sophomore Tre Williams has switched from OLB to ILB.
b. The official roster does not designate specific positions for offensive linemen. I have listed OL players at specific positions in the grid to help us discern depth, pipeline, and possible starting combinations, though the grid designation of specific players will likely change as positions are determined by the coaching staff.
5. The grid is fluid. Players projected to graduate or transfer could return, transfers could join, or players could retire. I will update the grid as decisions are made.
6. Rostering
a. When a player is listed on the official roster at two positions, I have listed them in the grid according to the position named on the front side of the slash. For instance, if a player is rostered as cornerback/safety, I have them listed as a tackle.
b. The Devery Hamilton Rule: If a player ends up getting more playing time at the position named at the backside of the slash, they are considered rostered at that position; e.g., if a tackle/guard ends up playing guard, I switch them to guard in the grid.
c. If a player's listing on the roster is ambiguous (e.g., "defensive back" or "athlete"), I have listed them in the grid according to where they receive the most playing time.
7. I have removed all injury designations, though I realize that some players are still injured. I have kept other positional responsibility designations when the player is returning.
8. You will note that starters may be marked for some positions based on past starts or various projections. I will adjust once position status clears.
9. As always, I appreciate any corrections or input.
