The 2021 Roster has been updated on MeanGreenSports. The updates are a little confusing and will cause for more confusion down the line, but it’s consistent with what I’ve seen at other schools.

Most noticeably, Jace Ruder and Greg Francis have been added. Ruder is showing as a Junior but he technically still has 4 years of eligibility left.

A host of walkons added as well.

All players did have their grades rolled forward but any player who was playing in 2020 WILL get to have an extra season if they want. For example, Deshawn Gaddie is listed as a Junior but he still has three seasons left of eligibility if he wants. Originally it was announced that everyone’s eligibility would be frozen for a year due to COVID, but instead the players’ eligibility does advance forward a year like normal, they just get to take their extra season if they choose after their original eligibility clock would have expired.

The only players who aren’t eligible to return next season are listed as “5th” for their grade classification. The players listed as “SR” can come back next season if they choose.

After a brief review, my main thought is damn this is a very young team.

By my count, we have 82 scholarship players and 65 have 3 or more seasons of eligibility left if they want it.

Great to hear that. He is probably more mature.

Anyone know why Enoch Jackson the transfer from Arkansas is listed as OL and not DL?

Mayhaps it’s a typo? If not….are we really that desperate for O-lineman? Don’t answer that 🥲

He had a huge hit against UTEP in 2019, glad he’s on the special teams

Names, numbers, and classification have been updated. It looks like measurements have not. Can anyone confirm?
