There was one other kid that had to medically retire as well…Ian Ector. He was a DB.Leatherneck57 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 19, 2023 10:51 amWe currently have 97 kids on the roster but can have 105 this year. Shawn Lee and Wentric Williams III medically retired from football. I would imagine they are looking for good kids at any position that will be good practice players, teammates and potentially earn playing time down the road.sealhall74 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 19, 2023 8:19 amWhat do you think they are looking for?

Texas A&M has the 12th man given to a walk-on that plays special teams. Every school has a coach assigned to on campus recruiting. It’s very common.

I think I might consider letting a few grad students from the Computer Science and Math departments "walk on" to help the program with their Artificial Intelligence expertise. Probably get more bang for the buck.
Embrace the pace of the race.
