# of Open Roster Spots

[Gophergrandpa]

This Post will simply keep track of the total number of open spots from the 2025 Roster. Won't track any transfers in or why spots are open. Just a "magnitude" measure, to track roster turnover. Could be several more additions to this list in the coming weeks, as we approach Transfer Portal opening.

[Gophergrandpa]

Adding Brun and E. Carrier
Also, forgot and now added Cam Davis RB

 

[Gophergrandpa]

Added WRs Cristian Driver and Legend Lyons. That's six WRs out the door through eligibility (2) or transfer (4). Only one of the six had significant playing time/yardage (Brockington). After a year in which our leading WR had under 500 yards, the WR "room" looks to be getting a "refresh."

I hope it gets taller, be nice to see a couple rangy guys.

 

[PMWinSTP]

Five WR in 2026 class. Assume at least the 4 will have a chance to start. Assume Fleck has a group of portal guys he is focused on targeting.

Added Fame Ijeboi.

Throw the stars out the window once they arrive. I wouldn’t be surprised if the two little guys got some run, Hendrix and Stevens, they look pretty speedy.

At this point (12/10), the Gophers are losing/shedding 10 receivers from this year's team: 6 WRs and 4 TEs. A real opportunity to reshape the passing game assets. Also appears to be a great time for the UMD TE to transfer in, if he is interested. He could take and very well possibly upgrade Gears' spot.
