There are a bunch of guys who either won’t be brought back for a 5th year or who will look elsewhere as a grad transfer to actually play. I track the roster very accurately and I get 25 spots pretty easily.
Again, who?
I already posted the list of possibilities:
Possible attrition:
1 NFL 7 Al Blades, Jr. Cornerback 6-1 186 lbs. Junior Fort Lauderdale, Fla. St. Thomas Aquinas
2 NFL 21 Bubba Bolden Safety 6-3 184 lbs. Redshirt Junior Las Vegas, Nev. USC Bishop Gorman
3 ??? 22 Robert Burns Running Back 5-11 217 lbs. Redshirt Junior Miami, Fla. Gulliver Prep
4 ??? 65 Corey Gaynor Offensive Line 6-4 299 lbs. Redshirt Junior Parkland, Fla. Douglas
5 ??? 57 Kai-Leon Herbert Offensive Line 6-5 298 lbs. Redshirt Junior Plantation, Fla. Plantation American Heritage
6 ??? 75 Zalon'tae Hillery Offensive Line 6-6 298 lbs. Redshirt Junior Brunswick, Ga. Glynn Academy
7 ??? 44 Bradley Jennings Jr. Linebacker 6-1 222 lbs. Redshirt Junior Jacksonville, Fla. Sandalwood

9 ??? 18 Tate Martell Quarterback 5-11 198 lbs. Redshirt Junior Las Vegas, Nev. Ohio State Bishop Gorman
10 ??? 5 N'Kosi Perry Quarterback 6-4 181 lbs. Redshirt Junior Ocala, Fla. Vanguard
11 ??? 51 DJ Scaife, Jr. Offensive Lineman 6-3 298 lbs. Junior Miami, Fla. Southridge High School
12 ??? 17 Waynmon Steed Linebacker 5-11 232 lbs. Redshirt Junior Miami, Fla. Miami Central
For possible non-NFL attrition, I only looked at Juniors.
I already removed Rousseau. We need half of this list to leave just to get to 25.
We'd need almost everyone on the list to leave if we got 5 extra counters.
There's 4 not-great OLs on the list, but they won't all leave at once. 2 QBs, but I bet one stays.
We need the LBs and DBs to step up this year.
