Some uncertainty in the count right now. From Snyder himself we're told that they have held back two scholarships, so we should be at 83. About most of the 83 we're fairly certain, assuming they all qualify as expected...
QB: 3 - Ertz, Delton, S.Thompson
RB: 6 - Silmon, Warmack, Barnes, McCoy, T.Burns, Goodwater
FB: 3 - Dimel, C.Johnston, Barta
WR: 9 - Pringle, D.Heath, Reuter, Zuber, Sutton, Harris, Strickland, Render, Taylor
TE: 4 - Valentine, Lenners, Kochevar, Misko
OL: 16 - Najvar, Brager, Risner, Beecham, Fitzner, Ruth, Matthews, Frantz, Holtorf, Mitchell, Curl, Kaltmayer, Adler, Rivas, Creed, Kuduk
DT: 7 - Geary, Price, Reese, Dishon, Robertson, Huggins, Wiley
DE: 8 - Wood, D.Clark, R.Walker, Ball, X.Davis, Massie, Hubert, Payne
LB: 9 - Tanking, Kirby, Sizelove, Patton, Hughes, Sullivan, Rudzik, Green, D.Walker
CB: 5 - C.Moore, Shelley, Reed, Durham, Parker
S: 8 - Newlan, K.Adams, Noil, E.Walker, Goolsby, J.Brown, Stewart, Owens
ST: 4 - Walsh, McCrane, Lochbihler, Scott
That totals 82, so I'm missing one. Candidates for that spot, as well as the two as yet unpromised scholarships include...
QB S.Wheeler - initially reported as a 2018 grayshirt, now believed to be 2017, but unconfirmed?
TE B.Gammon - soph walk-on saw decent playing time as RFr...could earn scholarship
OL A.Mills - 2017 recruit now expected to become 2018 grayshirt
LB X.Phillips - Baylor walk-on transfer would become a counter with a scholarship in the fall
CB J.Craft - expected on scholarship this semester as grayshirt, but not announced...walk-on?
CB A.Oliver - 2017 commit had his signing delayed...2018 grayshirt or qualification concern?
CB T.Richardson - 2017 commit to be placed at juco or could he qualify late?
I guess it seems like Wheeler is probably #83. And it sounds like we'll continue to search for quality recruits on whom to use the final two scholarships (juco DT, juco CB?). If we can't land any to our liking, or if we do but more spots become available due to roster attrition, then maybe we use one or more on some other(s) from the list above. Or else we pocket whatever remaining spots we have and add them to our small 2018 class.
