71 rostered 1/16/22
Needs:
-UR took big losses on its DL.Signee Camden Byrd could get an early shot at DE.
-Signee Aiden Mack at TE/WR could get an early shot at Air Raid offense
-Signing the 1 WRs as a graduate transfer from VMI would be a very nice complement to our WR corp.
We need immediate depth and size on the DL preferably at least 1 transfer that has already played 2 years.We need more depth on the OL.The 2nd team OL are all Rs Frosh.
Both OL and DL trench go through a ton of injury attrition during the season.Both position groups need to be “beefed up” in terms of both numbers and playing experience.
