Also, he just entered a few days ago and somehow ends up at Texas? Feel tampering-ish to me. Edited 14 hours ago by LZIp 1 Quote

Could just be a walk on, but giving up scholarship + exposure at Akron vs likely being buried on depth chart aand paying your own way at Texas feels like a head scratching move. 1 Quote

He may actually be on scholarship. SEC schools have the option to go up to 105 if they choose to do so. Edited 10 hours ago by catdaddyp Quote
ZippyDoo Posted 9 hours ago Report Posted 9 hours ago no offense by any means, but that would be a long shot by Texas considering Boz didn't do a whole lot at a group five school. I wish him well not gonna bash him at all but you have to admit it is a very surprising move today the very least... Quote

I wish him well not gonna bash him at all but you have to admit it is a very surprising move today the very least... No offense taken. Here’s the reasoning behind why Boswell could now be on scholarship at Texas. In years past, roster limits were set at 85 scholarships, with anything above that number filled by walk-ons. Now, there’s a hard 105-man roster cap, and schools—depending on their conference—have the option to remain at 85 scholarships or expand all the way up to 105. I’ll use South Carolina as a comparison since I still have some inside info there. Carolina just took a receiver from Holy Cross as a scholarship player who, in previous years, almost certainly would have been a walk-on. For reference, that receiver has totaled just 25 receptions over three years. South Carolina also has more kickers on scholarship than ever before. I don’t believe Carolina will hit the full 105 scholarship limit this year, but they are clearly pushing beyond the traditional 85. With that in mind, it wouldn’t be a reach to think that one of the biggest spenders in men’s athletics—Texas—is also putting players on scholarship who would have previously been walk-ons. Quote
catdaddyp Posted 1 hour ago Author Report Posted 1 hour ago (edited) If my math is correct, as well as all the players who should have graduated or hit the portal is also correct, we are currently sitting at 69 scholarships and still have some spots to fill. I’ve listed below what that could look like from here. QB = 1 (maybe) WR = 1 TE = 1-2 OL = 2-3 DL = 4-6 LB = 1 (maybe) DB = 4-6 ST = 2 (probably walk-ons) Edited 1 hour ago by catdaddyp 1 Quote
