Projected Roster: 2025

Griz need a whole passel of unknown, untested players to become all world over the summer or next year could be very, very ugly.
 
2021 Roster: 111 players
2022: 113 players
2023: 112 players
2024: 114 players
Current Roster: 95 known players

I expect 2-5 more freshman to join the team between now and fall camp. That leaves ~13-16 roster spots for transfers, assuming the staff is targeting the ~113 player roster size again.

I foresee 1-2 offensive players listed moving to defense.

Offense(43 players)

QB: Ah Yat, Huot, Flowers, Sliter, Schweikert

RB: E Gillman, Fonoti, Rocker, Reynolds

WR: Racanelli, Deck, Finch, Bridges, Davis, Alford, Dever, B Lang, Gurnsey, Phillips, Toney, Running Rabbit, M Gillman, Walker

TE: Olson, Grezmak, Weida, Sirmon, Keim

C(Players might play multiple OL positions):

McCabe, Ray, Cohen

OG(Players might play multiple OL positions):

Grimsrud, Brown, Freitas, Johnson, Henriksen, Templeton, Hilden

OT(Players might play multiple OL positions):

Panfiloff, Buehler, Amick, Steinbach, Jeske

Defense(31 players)

DE: Nuce, Mata’afa, Detrick, Wilson V

CB: Loud, Lawler, Brady, Ford, Huff, Speer

Special Teams(5 players)

There's not a chance all of these guys are back. Some will leave on their own, and others will be told they are leaving.

Really, you're going out on a limb and suggesting there might be some roster turnover?

He literally states these are the "KNOWN PLAYERS". He's adjusted the roster a number of times as the inevitable changes happen.

I predict there's a 100% chance the sun will rise in the east tomorrow.

It's interesting that the title of the post says: Projected Roster 2025.

2021 Roster: 111 players
2022: 113 players
2023: 112 players
2024: 114 players
Current Roster: 102 known players

I expect 1-2 more freshman to join the team between now and fall camp. That leaves ~9-10 roster spots for transfers, if the staff targets a ~113 player roster size again.

If the University of Montana opts in to the house settlement(I assume it will) the roster will be capped at 105 players. If that happens, and 1-2 freshmen join the team, only 1-2 roster spots for transfers remain.

Offense(43 players)
QB: Ah Yat, Flowers, Sliter, Schweikert, Jensen

RB: E Gillman, Fonoti, Rocker, Reynolds

Defense(37 players)
DT: Ramos, Mason

LB: Leonard, Otlewski, Stevenson, Opitz, Oven, Tolbert, Running Rabbit

🤦‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️
I thought the same. Way too thin in the D line dept. Needs addressed badly, compared to any other positional group.

How many more should be considered through the portal/ high school recruitment for next season?
 
DT: Ramos, Mason

Regarding Wilson V, does anybody know what really happened last season? I heard 2 stories 1) injured in fall camp and lost for season 2) got in coaches dog house. If story 2 is true, you have to wonder if the guy will ever see the field.
 
At DT, we are 1 injury away from a catastrophic situation. This group as a whole completely lacks the bulk needed to hold up against prime (run first) competition. How many dudes do we need to add? Depends on what the team’s goals are. If we add 1-2, we’ll have a similar team as last year. 4-5 we got a chance to be stout. 0….there’s a chance we miss the playoffs this year.
