2019 Stanford Football Personnel

[McKenwood]

Thanks Langdude. Your work is really appreciated.

A couple of takeaways.

At 80 scholarships, before off season transfer and injury attrition is a of immense proportions red flag.  Stanford will likely end up at 75 scholarships before some walk-ons are awarded scholarships. Not good and a repeat of 2018. Stanford needs the depth to play its challenging schedule.

Both lines are short players. The defensive line shortfall is particularly galling because Stanford's recent shortcomings on the defensive side can be traced to a lack of bodies and talent. The offensive line, besides QB, is where Stanford should have its greatest recruiting advantage and yet again there is a shortfall in numbers and maybe talent. Stanford's success with walk-ons does not usually include lineman, so recruiting should focus on making sure all the scholarships are allocated the lines (15 OL, 10 DL).
