“…William and Mary is only team that could run the ball vs Spiders last year and they had a four headed monster RB group...”
Here’s one of those Tribe RBs that won’t be back:
Donavyn Lester - 2022 - Football - William & Mary Athletics
Donavyn Lester (4) RB - JUNIOR YEAR (2022) Second Team All-CAA … Appeared in 10 games … Finished the season with 533 yards on 76 carries with eight touchdowns

Good find on Lester. I have enough trouble keeping up with our guys, so thanks for all the info.
Looks like he ended up at UNLV as a FCS to FBS transfer.

Guess this explains how we got to 88 on roster. These numbers are a pleasant surprise.
from today's email from Huesman to Spider football fans.
Part of the natural cycle of our program is continually building the roster to replace the graduating class, and I’m happy to report recruiting has gone extremely well. The next class will arrive on June 18th (Father’s Day) and will be on campus for summer school. The incoming class consists of 25 excited new Spiders! 20 will be incoming freshman and five will be transferring in from other colleges. In addition to these 25 new players, we also signed two mid-year players, who were on campus for Spring practice. This means our roster will have 27 student-athletes ready to play their first year for Richmond. I am confident this class will complement our returning team very well and feel we will have a deep and talented roster that is very capable of competing for the CAA title.

I liked all of this but LOVED the last phrase.
Thanks for this and all the updates.
Even at 86 these numbers look a heck of a lot better as far as the two deep goes, than I thought the roster was going to look like when fall camp begins.

Spiders look to quarterback Kyle Wickersham to keep ball moving
The primary probe University of Richmond representatives handle during Tuesday’s virtual CAA Football media day probably will be related to the quarterback position. Starting with, who starts?
Seems obvious QB performance is biggest ? mark going into the season. Really hoping Wickersham can fill the role and grow into a strong leader. He seems to have the tangibles, size and arm strength.Spiders look to quarterback Kyle Wickersham to keep ball moving

Coach Huesman mentions Wickersham running inside. Seems dangerous. Who’s our back up?
Good luck Kyle, looking forward to your debut.
Go Spiders!
Don't forget satch, this kid runs like a big fullback, maybe we can get 32 to dig up his high school highlights; very impressive.
that's impressive...just worried about injuries...you're just one big hit away from a concussion, contusion or worse...
I hope we'll use his running skills just enough to keep the defenses honest...
Go Spiders!
Wickersham is a dual threat QB. Definitely do not want to see him running the ball consistently but his ability to scramble and his size and strength will definitely help in the red zone and short yardage plays where we struggled last year moving the chains. Looking forward to seeing him grow in confidence as the year goes on and the schedule is set up well for this outside of the Michigan State game.
Anna has TV looks and smarts for sure.
We've done this before, but not this well. Believe it one of the best info/promo pieces have seen from our AD in some time.
Agree with 32, Anna is great at putting everyone at ease and looks the part for TV. Great composure for such a young person and exudes personality.
For all my complaints/whining, give the Athletic Department high marks on this.

A+ to Anna and the AD for this one, If she hasn't considered she should consider a career in front of a camera
Her major at Penn State was indeed broadcast journalism.
Did not really know where to put this and it might be posted already but Spiders are really well represented Nationally and especially on the CAA all conference teams.

2023 PHIL STEELE/DRAFTSCOUT FCS PRESEASON ALL AMERICAN TEAMS - Phil Steele
Today’s blog features my 2023 FCS Preseason All American/Conference teams. I want to thank Josh Buchanan for his help in compiling these teams and I really enjoy watching and following FCS football during the season. These teams were brought to you by Phil Steele & the draftscout.com staff...

They doin’ something right for a school with only 2,300 undergraduates
A total of 129 players make up the roster, but NCAA rules cap the preseason practice roster at 110. Furman has 12 graduate players, 19 seniors, 21 juniors, 20 sophomores, and 57 freshmen in its program.
Furman, a consensus first place pick in a pair of recently announced Southern Conference preseason polls conducted by league coaches and media, returns 20 starters, including eight regulars on offense, 10 on defense, and the squad's two primary specialists.
The Paladins count 29 players who have combined to register 410 starts in their Furman careers. Thirty eight of the Paladins' 44 players on the squad's final two-deep from 2022 return.

They were good last year and will be again I suspect.
Amazing they have 129 on their roster as a private school, with only 63 athletic scholarships.
Virginia Tech football: VMI transfer Stone Snyder no longer on the roster
Snyder was a three-time FCS All-American at VMI.

“… Snyder doesn't count against Tech’s scholarship numbers, as he came to Blacksburg as a walk-on...”
He played QB at Monacan here in the area. Had good hands and could throw the ball. Always wondered why UR didn't go after him. At 6'3 and 235 he would be great on direct snap short yardage situations even if he came here as linebacker.Virginia Tech football: VMI transfer Stone Snyder no longer on the roster
