More additions (all freshman signees)
TE : Tucker Kyne
DL : Marlon Huff (DE)
DB : Kaiki Baker, Dominique Dixon, Taeshawn Jefferson
* NOTE : the RB transfer from Stetson was removed; maybe a technicality where he'll be added back at a later date.

Also, DB Byron Davis. Says his prior school was Kentucky Wesleyan. I can't recall if he was listed during spring practice or not. I thought I remember seeing his name added before. That's why I didn't include him in the prior post.

It'll be interesting to see whether Jalen Bell and Emmanuel Baez are able to return to form after season-ending injuries last year. I know they've been kind of "sout of sight, out of mind", but if both are healthy, the defensive front should be really good again.
Whatever happened to Jaalon Gupton? Was he ineligible last year? Did he try to get back eligible?

I expect Bell and Baez to start along with Eriq George (DE) and Kierron Smith (NG). Players still have to go through Summer workouts/conditioning and Fall camp, so the depth chart could see changes.
I always wonder about Gupton too. I was told he graduated and decided to move on. But never got an official word. That was just word of mouth/rumor.

As long as he is doing well, I am happy for him.

So the roster has been update/altered a little. A couple of names have been added back (RB - Rouse & transfer safety - Roof). Also, a couple of names were removed.
Added: Jalen Rouse - Senior RB (added back; had entered the transfer portal) Saidou Ba - transfer OL Anthony Smith - transfer OL Spencer Roof - transfer DB (added back; participated in Spring ball; then was removed from the roster)
Removed: Jay Stevenson - freshman RB signee Marlon Huff - freshman DE signee Jayt Jackson - transfer CB signee
* a few others were removed; but these are the ones I caught off the top of my head

Probably wasn't getting as much motion in the portal as he thought he would and decided to come back while he could. It definitely won't be a bad thing for us. There could be others who may also look to come back.
I was wondering about him. We lost quite a bit in the secondary, so his 14 starts at Lehigh could be useful. Interesting. I wonder if 1. it may be academics and he needs juco or 2. he sees the depth at the position (especially if Rouse is back) and figures he can get more touches elsewhere. He does still have some of the TSU tweets on his page, so we'll see. I also wonder would the staff had signed some of the transfers that we signed if Rouse would not have initially decided to transfer...
Same as Stevenson. There won't be much room for a young guy to get snaps on the d-line unless we have injuries. Still has TSU commit in his bio, so we'll see. Seems like the staff was high on him, so hopefully he makes it to campus.
Again, we lost a lot in the secondary, especially corner, so I wouldn't want to lose him. By him being a veteran who went through spring practice, I'd imagine that the staff was hoping that he could be a plug and play guy. Also still has TSU in his bio as of now, so we'll see.

Something tells me the freshman were expected to report during the summer but may be reporting in the fall. I lowkey still expect Stevenson and Huff to be on the roster come Fall. Jackson is the interesting one...I'm wondering if he didn't get the starting CB spot coming out of the spring or maybe it's academics. Maybe he's re-added to the roster as well. Something tells me if the UT transfer Gallaway signs (in addition to the SEMO transfer signing); that CB room got too crowded. Others added since I last looked: Freshmen - Owen Borba (OL), Veguer Jean-Jumeau (OL) Transfers - Keandre Booker (DE), Ramirez Young (OL) Seems like they've been active updating the roster today! Thanks for pointing these out. I'm glad they're continuing to update the roster. Love the color coding Junkie! Same, love that Funkie!

Summer school is a great point; technically, players have to be enrolled in summer school to participate in summer workouts/practices.
That's another area where fundraising has to improve...at most FBS schools, the entire roster is now in summer school and practicing, with scholarships covering it all. Financially, we're not there yet.

A lot of additions. Finally, see some TEs added. Feeling much better about the depth at that position. Also, good to see Kobe Chambers added at receiver. I hadn't heard about him signing after he committed. So it's good to see him on the roster. Kyle Hicks is listed as a Long Snapper...though I'm sure he could help at TE if needed. I'm moving him to special teams on signees & commits post for Class of 2024

Ethan Jones is one name that I no longer see on the roster... Yeah, I noticed he was removed after spring ball. Unsure of the reason or if he hit the portal. Maybe playing time. Seems like the freshman, Tyler Moore, jumped him in the depth chart. So he might've been buried down the depth chart with Moore, Bell, Snipes and the transfers in the interior DL.
