Official 2026 Roster Movement Thread - Who's In and Who's Out?

We can be fine without him but would be a big bummer (for a couple reasons) to lose him. I guess it also depends on his salary here. If he demands a crazy salary maybe he isn't worth it?

The bummer in losing him is that he's an in-state kid. There are a lot of his jerseys at gopher games.

but I'm not real worried if he does.

if he left, and they used that money on a good, solid defensive tackle......I'm all in

Wolfson says Jaxon Howard is back and deal was reported on a couple weeks ago.

Well shit, it sucks to lose Howard

Isn't his brother coming to The U next year to play baseball? Would think he would want to spend a year on campus with him.
I also wonder if he would have played in the bowl game if he wasn't planning on returning. We will see.

Don't even joke about this and put it out there.

You might be thinking of Asuma, on the hoops team

Yep, in the B1G, spending on OL/DL is a necessity while spending on S is a luxury. I’d hate to see Perich go but if those dollars to get sent to the trenches instead, its probably a net positive for the team.

I find it odd that players even announce they are NOT transferring. It’s not like he has to do that to return.

Everyone is pretty much on a year to year contract now

You may be thinking of Asuma on the basketball team with the brother coming to play baseball. Koi’s brother is a WR at Mankato St.

My bad. I was.
