Who are new heavy's?

100% on the cuts. I was a college coach. Most of the attrition that happens occurs in March through May. There are lots of situations that players control that determines whether they can return too. Graduation, retirement, flunking out, etc. Coaches make roster decisions after spring practice is concluded, they then go into player meetings and the good news/bad news conversations happen. No coach loves this time. Fewer happen than one would think, but they do occur.

I guess if I saw a team that was going through this, but I haven't found anything concrete or reputable. I have searched as hard as I can for even one example with a name, school, and program and have found nothing about scholarships being withdrawn from incoming freshmen. UM had over 20 recruits for 2026 and another 20 for 2027 signed prior to the 5 to play 5 participation rule taking affect in June and not one player has had a scholarship revoked yet. If anyone sees or hears of anything I would love to look into it.

As far as scholarship offers and whatnot, I also agree. They are usually taken care of prior to May. However, not every player at UM is on scholarship. FBS is a whole different world, but I think our conference rules only allow like 68 scholarships. We have many players who see significant time that don't get a full ride.

FCS allows 63 full scholarship equivilents irrespective of conference. Some conference limit beyond the 63, e.g., 0-63.

Heavy transfers Zaiden Wallace and Manase Tupou. From Payton's post:

DL- Manase Tupou 6'0" 340 (Utah State), 4 to play 4
DL- Zaiden Wallace 6'5" 290 (Nevada)

I hear transfers Tyler King (CW) and Nui Tovey (Utah Tech), DE's, look good. Also returning DE Schwartz. Pifferini still recovering from being hurt, but working hard to get there.

Solo will play the same position, DE/ LB hybrid.
