Football Roster

[72 Roo]

I noticed that RJ Kelly from Akron Hoban is no longer listed on the roster. Does anyone know why he left? This surprises me because I thought he was a great recruit who could be a four year contributor after red-shirting. As I recall he was a three star recruit and two time All-Ohio. I saw him play many times and was very impressed.

If history is any reference, there is the chance it is an oversight on the roster.

 

I recall he was recently (Arth era) featured as a UA Football Student of the Day?

According to 247Sports RJ was the 105 best OG in his class and ranked 2367 overall. 

Hate to lose a guard of that quality.

I have 2 from a distance guesses about the motivation for his disappearance. The kinder one is that he was a big fan of the old coaching staffs local recruiting efforts and was unhappy with the changing of the guard.

Speaking of the roster, I've updated the chart (except for assumed walk-ons) based on everything we know and it seems like we have 4 open scholly's. The program now announcing walk ons that get put on scholarship (see Muldowney and Boogie - though I/we already guessed that was going to happen) makes this a little easier and more accurate. I hope there are some transfers with immediate eligibility in the pipeline to supplement holes on this year's team. Note - Wooldridge is on here for now as he is still listed on the roster. 94zipgrad may know something we don't, though. I finally got around to updating the colors on it as well ?
