So we got a RB from Auburn (SEC), DL from Texas (BIG12), and LB from Iowa State (BIG12) all transferring with multiple years of eligibility left?

Am I missing any other P5 guys?

I posted in the 2021 thread, but thought I'd add here in hopes someone has some info. Tackles Hopp and Woodard both removed from the roster and we're currently sitting at 11 lineman. Is this covid related, are they sitting out the spring, transferring, done with football?

Thought Woodard struggled a bit last year and was likely fighting for his RT spot, but hoping he'd take a step up. Hopp seemed like a lock after starting the last 2 years at LT.

No longer showing Malik Burns on the roster. Started first 2 games at DE and was listed on last week's depth chart as backup, but didint appear in the game.

Thought he showed some really good potential last year, but didn't do much first 2 weeks. Our Dline hasn't done much as a unit and can add in the Buck OLB's who basically function as the DE.

Hopp is transferring (grad transfer), a recent tweet says that he's received offers from UNC Charlotte, CMU, EMU, and Kent State (all G5 FBS programs)

Looks like Malik Burns is finally in the transfer portal, per his twitter page.

Also noticed DB Taylor Harris has listed his portal info on Twitter. He appeared in the first game and was on the 2 deep that week, but not since.
