Aside from age, Barton also had a pretty brutal injury. Unless there was a graduate degree he really wanted, he had only downside to coming back.

The third unannounced senior is the injured player on the lower right that I can't identify with certainty. The other 17 players in the picture are the 17 announced players.

I assume those 3 joined the picture to be with their classmates and not because they are planning on leaving.

Collin Riccitelli is in the transfer portal. This doesn't impact us very much as he's a walk-on who lost the backup K job to frosh Sanborn.

I wonder if he has had injury issues. As a basis for comparison, Stewart Head leads all of our safeties with 39 tackles in 8 games.
Bentley is a three year starter at S Carolina, but got injured this year and Hilinski took over. Hilinski's 113 PER shouldn't scare anyone, though.

Scholarship math:
76 scholarship players with eligibility remaining
-2 in the transfer portal
+17 commits so far
==============
91
That means we will need at least six more slots, more if we get some more last minute commits. I expect at least one medical retirement and up to four players declaring for the NFL, but we will see.

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.

Don't think so; have a look at slide's reply to your post earlier in the thread.

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.

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?
