Depending on drop offs going into the summer, our roster is pretty full. I counted 114 total players compared to 109 from 2026. My count includes:

-All players on the official 2026 numeric roster. (87)

-All incoming freshmen announced as part of the 2026 recruiting class. (21) I also included Hudson Schraeder who was announced but isnt on Payton's List

-Wallace, Tupou, and Sandford who are spring/summer transfers but are not on the online numeric/TBD roster.

-I also included Jaquwan Breckenridge, Walter James, and Ka'onohi Casco who were on the spring game roster, but do not appear on the online numerical/tbd roster.

I would guess that we need to be down to 109, but I am not sure if we had gray-shirts that were part of the roster that I didn't know about.

Why do you say down to 109? Grandfathered walk-ons? I am just asking. I don’t know.

I am pretty much going off the roster size from 2025. When UM opted into the house settlement it was allowed to tag players over the 105 limit. That number increased the UM roster size to 114. So I guess we can carry 114 as long as all those tagged players remain on the roster.I think it has shrunk due to tagged players leaving the team.

I cant get the AI response to paste in here unfortunately.

Where do you get the 114 figure? Again, I am not questioning it .
