2025/26 Transfer Portal & Roster Changes Thread

It's likely because whoever made that depth chart believes that Campbell will bring in the starter at that position before the end of the portal session.

I think there is a possibility of that at a few positions. But I also think it is just as probable that the person who made the chart had Amare Campbell there and then removed them when he went into the portal. You've already pointed out a number of areas that this chart may not be capturing and I agree with that. And they only list 2 LB slots. That is what we ran last year but is that what Lynn will be running in 2026? I think this was just an effort from someone who may have a 75% solution. Either way, it's something to look at and crack a joke when a player is 2nd team behind no one.

Yep, even if Lynn plays 2 LB's most of the time it's very likely that the team will also practice a 3 LB set to use against more run oriented teams. And even if Bacon ends up the starter at Mike, or if an incoming transfer yet to decide ends up at Mike, Tatsch would likely have the opportunity to be the 3rd LB in 3 LB sets. We've also seen some PSU LB's move from Will to Mike, and if that were to happen with Rojas we could see Tatsch at Will. Should be an interesting Spring as the LB positions within Lynn's defense get sorted out. The PSU transfer Ta'Mere Robinson that went to USC before the 2025 season couldn't crack the starting lineup for Lynn in 2025 but he doesn't show up in their portal entrants so it looks like he'll give it another try for their new DC.
 
By position look at Returning, Added, and Gone.... Helps to see the total numbers at each position with the current projected roster.
