| 09/04 | 2:38pm | Vaughn Dotsy | OL | Questionable | Back | Dotsy is supposedly recovered from March back surgery and was upgraded to probable for the season opener but did not play. Senior Jovon Hayes filled in vs. Toledo in week one. Dotsy is questionable for The Citadel. |
| 08/04 | 2:38pm | Delashaun Dean | WR | Out For Year | Suspension | Dean was suspended indefinitely after an arrest for weapons charges in June. The senior has decided to transfer to Texas A&M-Kingsville. He started 11 games in 2009 recording 42 receptions for 396 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

|
| 09/03 | 11:03am | Andrew Rodriguez | LB | Doubtful | Back | Rodriguez is nursing a back injury suffered with two weeks remaining in preseason camp. He is working toward a return but not likely to play on 9/4 against Eastern Michigan. The junior led the team in tackles last year. |

Next game: Auburn at Mississippi on 09/09
|
| 09/01 | 6:29pm | Trovon Reed | WR | Probable | Knee | Standout freshman WR Trovon Reed is suffering from a bruised knee, but he says it won't keep him out of the season opener versus Arkansas State (9/4).

|
| 09/01 | 11:45am | Danny Watkins | OL | Probable | Ankle | Watkins has taken limited practice reps through the end of camp to allow an ankle injury to heal, but he should have no problems starting on opening night. The senior made 12 starts a year ago and is considered one of the best offensive linemen in the country. | | 08/31 | 4:28am | Jay Finley | RB | Probable | Ankle | Finley is probable to be ready for the season opener despite a preseason ankle injury. The senior is the team's leading returning rusher from last year and expected to reprise that role. |
|
Next game: Marshall at Bowling Green on 09/18
|
| 09/04 | 9:22am | Calvin Wiley | WR | Probable | Knee | Wiley appears fully recovered from a knee injury that cost him his 2009 season.

|

|
| 09/02 | 9:15am | Brandon Maye | LB | Out | Knee | Junior WLB Brandon Maye is set to have arthroscopic knee surgery, which will keep him out of the North Texas game (9/4).

| 08/04 | 1:32pm | Jamie Cumbie | DT | Out For Year | Dismissed | Cumbie was dismissed from the team for a violation of team rules. The senior played in 13 games last year and had 53 tackles, more than any other reserve. He was likely looking at another year of backup duty in 2010. |

|
| 08/13 | 11:02am | Zak Hill | S | Out For Year | Knee | Hill will miss the 2010 season after tearing a knee ligament. The junior reserve will be scheduled for surgery after the swelling goes down. Sophomore Justin Webber and true freshman Derron Smith have been receiving more reps in Hill's absence. |
|
Next game: Georgia Tech at Kansas on 09/11
|
| 08/31 | 7:29am | Anthony Allen | RB | Probable | Head | Allen was held out of practice this week as a precautionary measure after taking a knock to the head. Allen made 14 starts last year and ranked third on the team in rushing (618 yards, 6 TD's). His status for the season opener vs. South Carolina State (9/4) has been upgraded to probable. | | 08/17 | 3:17pm | Daniel Drummond | BB | Out | Ineligible | Drummond violated an unspecified NCAA rule last year and is ineligible to play until the 11th week of the 2010 season. The RS freshman is trying to keep a positive mindset and will be prepared when his time comes. |
|
Next game: UTEP at Houston on 09/10
|
| 09/03 | 4:24am | Matt Nicholson | LB | Probable | None | Nicholson sat out the Cougars' final preseason scrimmage but it was more for precautionary reasons than due to an injury, which is good news for the LB who missed time in each of the past two seasons. Nicholson is expected to start on opening night against Texas State. |
| 08/05 | 4:10pm | Charles Sims | RB | Out For Year | Academics | The NCAA has ruled Sims in ineligible for the 2010 season. The conference freshman of the year had over 1,400 yards rushing/receiving and scored 10 TD's. Junior Bryce Beal likely re-takes the starting TB role - he was conference FOY two seasons ago. |

|
| 08/28 | 6:38pm | Chris Tolliver | WR | Out | Head | Tolliver has been sidelined with a head injury and coach Miles has already deemed him 'out' for the season opener. The sophomore reserve played in three games a year ago as a RS freshman. | | 08/28 | 6:37pm | Karnell Hatcher | S | Out | Knee | Hatcher is dealing with knee problems and coach Miles has already stated that Hatcher will not play in the season opener. The junior reserve has made 45 tackles in two years. |
| 08/22 | 10:13am | T-Bob Hebert | C | Questionable | Suspension | Hebert had been suspended from all football related activities following an arrest for drunk driving but has returned to practice at fall camp. Hebert, a junior, started 11 of 13 games in 2009 but was running second team during spring drills behind sophomore P.J. Lonergan. | | 08/15 | 6:43pm | Ryan Baker | LB | Out | Jaw | Baker suffered a broken jaw during a contact drill Friday and is expected to miss at least a month of action. The junior was projected to start at outside linebacker and will likely be replaced by Kevin Minter or Lamin Barrow, both RS freshmen. |
| 08/03 | 1:03am | Cordian Hagans | OL/DL | Out For Year | Transferred | Hagans has transferred from LSU to UL and will sit out the 2010 season per NCAA transfer rules. The sophomore and former blue-chip recruit wants to play DT and the new coaching staff at LSU want him to move to the offensive side of the ball. | | 07/28 | 7:53pm | Chris Garrett | QB | Out For Year | Left Team | Garrett has decided to leave LSU football. The RS freshman has little desire to wait in the wings of juniors Jordan Jefferson and Jarrett Lee. Behind those two QB's is walk-on RS freshman Barrett Bailey and 2-sport true frosh Zach Lee, who was drafted in the first round by the L.A. Dodgers in the 2010 MLB draft. |
| 07/28 | 7:42pm | Kyle Prater | LB | Out For Year | Left Team | Prater has decided to transfer from LSU, citing playing time as the main reason for his departure. The sophomore was not expected to make an impact for the Tigers this season. | | 07/28 | 7:40pm | Jhyryn Taylor | WR | Out For Year | Left Team | In an effort to find more playing time, sophomore Jhyryn Taylor has decided to transfer to another school. He was fairly buried on the Tiger depth chart. |
| 07/28 | 7:35pm | Stavion Lowe | OL | Out For Year | Left Team | Lowe has decided to transfer from LSU. Lowe was a Superprep All-American coming out of high school. He spent the 2009 season as a redshirt and has yet to decide where he will play next. | | 07/28 | 7:08pm | Clay Spencer | OL | Out For Year | Undisclosed | Spencer has taken a medical scholarship and will miss the 2010 season. The sophomore was on the team during spring practice but has left with an unknown injury. |
| 07/28 | 7:00pm | John Williams | WR | Out For Year | Undisclosed | Williams has taken a medical scholarship and will miss the 2010 season. He was hoping to provide depth at receiver. The junior has one reception in his Tiger career. | | 07/28 | 6:57pm | Dominique Allen | FB | Out | Suspension | Allen has been suspended indefinitely for a violation of team rules. The sophomore was expected to be one of the top FB's entering the season. Inexperienced underclassmen James Stampley and Kellen Theriot, along with converted offensive lineman Richard Dugas, are all likely to compete for playing time provided incoming freshman Brandon Worle, a top national recruit, doesn't claim the starting job. |
| 07/28 | 6:48pm | Thomas Parsons | FB | Out For Year | Undisclosed | Parsons has taken a medical scholarship and will miss the 2010 season with an unknown injury. The sophomore was arguably the Tigers' best fullback last year. |
|
Next game: Miami (FL) at Ohio State on 09/11
|
| 09/02 | 8:28am | Travis Williams | LB | Out | Lower extremity | True freshman LB Travis Williams will not play in the FAMU game due to a lower extremity injury. Despite being a highly-rated recruit at his position, Williams is not expected to see much playing time for the Hurricanes in 2010. |
| 09/02 | 8:26am | Kevin Nelson | LB | Out | Upper extremity | True freshman LB Kevin Nelson will miss the FAMU game with an upper extremity injury. Nelson is not expected to see much playing time in 2010 for the Hurricanes. | | 09/02 | 8:24am | Jermaine Barton | OL | Out | Lower extremity | True freshman OL Jermaine Barton will miss the FAMU game with a lower extremity issue. Barton is not expected to see much playing time this season for the Hurricanes. |
| 09/02 | 8:22am | Andrew Smith | DE | Doubtful | Upper extremity | Junior DE Andrew Smith is doubtful for the FAMU game with an upper extremity issue. Smith is expected to provide depth at DE for the Hurricanes in 2010. | | 09/02 | 8:16am | Micanor Regis | DT | Questionable | Upper extremity | Junior DT Micanor Regis is questionable for the FAMU game with an upper extremity injury. Regis, who has recorded 35 total tackles the past two seasons, is expected to provide depth at defensive tackle this season for the Hurricanes. |
| 09/02 | 8:13am | Jermaine Johnson | LT | Questionable | Upper extremity | Redshirt freshman LT Jermaine Johnson is questionable for the FAMU game due to an upper extremity injury. Johnson, a reserve OL, was originally committed to Auburn but did not qualify. | | 09/02 | 8:01am | Allen Hurns | WR | Probable | Hamstring | Hurns dealt with a bum hamstring for much of the fall camp, but he is available for the FAMU game (9/2). Hurns, a true freshman, is in a battle with Tommy Streeter for a second-string slot behind All-ACC second teamer Leonard Hankerson. |
| 09/02 | 7:57am | Brandon McGee | CB | Probable | Undisclosed | Sophomore CB McGee missed two weeks with an undisclosed injury, but it appears that he has secured a back-up spot in the secondary for the FAMU game (9/2). Former walk-on Cory Nelms had worked into the rotation in McGee's absence. | | 08/31 | 7:20pm | Jordan Futch | LB | Doubtful | Knee | Futch has been involved in very limited contact work all through fall camp while recovering from knee surgery. The junior has been downgraded to doubtful for the 9/2 game against FAMU. He started two games last year before suffering the season ending knee injury and is expected to provide depth this year. |
| 08/31 | 7:17pm | Davon Johnson | WR | Probable | Leg | Johnson had missed time in camp earlier this month with a leg injury. The sophomore's injury isn't deemed serious, and he is expected to play against FAMU (9/2). | | 08/30 | 12:06pm | Graig Cooper | RB | Probable | Knee | Junior RB Graig Cooper is expected to be ready for the season opener according to head coach Randy Shannon. Cooper has led the team in rushing three straight years but the 'Canes are pretty loaded at RB in 2010. |
| 08/27 | 2:50pm | LaRon Byrd | WR | Probable | Leg | Byrd missed a week of camp due to a leg injury but returned to practice yesterday and declared himself fit for the season opener. Byrd caught 33 passes last year, ranking second on the team. | | 08/24 | 2:05pm | Thearon Collier | WR | Out For Year | Dismissed | Collier was dismissed from the team prior to fall practice due to repeated team violations. The junior caught 18 passes for 250 yards in 2009, ranking fifth on the team. |
| 08/04 | 12:00pm | Steven Wesley | DE | Out For Year | Dismissed | Wesley has been dismissed from Hurricane football apparently due to academic issues. The senior was expected to in the DE rotation this season. He played in 11 games in 2009, recording 17 tackles - 6 for a loss. |
|
Next game: Eastern Michigan at Miami (OH) on 09/11
|
| 08/13 | 10:45pm | Andrew Phelan | OL | Out | Foot | Phelan might miss the upcoming season due to a recurring foot injury. The sophomore was likely to play a backup role in 2010. |
|
Next game: Mississippi State at LSU on 09/18
|
| 08/03 | 12:08pm | Malcom Johnson | WR | Out | Foot | Johnson is dealing with a foot injury and it is reported that the frosh will not join the team until classes start. It was not likely he would earn much, if any, playing time in 2010. | | 08/03 | 12:04pm | Dan Stegall | QB | Out For Year | Left Team | Stegall has left Miss State football. The sophomore was likely buried behind starting junior QB Chris Relf with RS freshman Tyler Russell and true freshman Dylan Favre (yep, son of...). |
|
Next game: FCS (1-AA) Opponent at Missouri on 09/11
|
| 09/01 | 11:31am | Derrick Washington | RB | Out For Year | Suspension | Washington has been "permanently suspended" for his role in an alleged sexual assault on campus. He will be allowed to keep his athletic scholarship, however the "door is closed" according to HC Gary Pinkel, regarding his potential return to the team. The senior led the Tigers in rushing in 2009 (865 yards, 10 TD's). Missouri has only two other scholarship RB's with game experience, junior De'Vion Moore and sophomore Kendial Lawrence, the latter displaying a string of impressive August performances. | | 08/31 | 11:27am | Jerrell Jackson | WR | Probable | Wrist | Jackson has been surprisingly upgraded to probable for the season opener on Sept. 4 against Illinois despite breaking a bone in his left wrist in practice back in mid-August. He was initially expected be out for nearly a month. The junior is the Tigers' leading returning receiver after his 37 receptions and 458 yards ranked him third on the team last year. Expect junior Wes Kemp and sophomore T.J. Moe to be more involved should Jackson be limited, which would not surprise anyone. |
| 08/31 | 11:26am | Jarrell Harrison | S | Probable | Knee | Harrison injured his knee in early August and will had surgery to repair a torn meniscus. The senior was originally expected to be sidelined through the season opener, however it appears he's recovered quickly, since Mizzou has listed him as probable to be ready for Illinois. Harrison made eight starts at SS in 2009, however Junior Kenji Jackson has performed well with starters repetitions and the duo might be sharing time at the safety position. | | 08/30 | 11:29am | Will Ebner | LB | Doubtful | Hamstring/Possible Suspension | Ebner aggravated a hamstring injury this preseason and has missed significant practice time. Now, reports are saying he is being charged with a DUI and could be facing a suspension. Regardless of what keeps him off the field, Ebner is not expected to play in the season opener against Illinois. The junior ranked third on the team last year with 78 tackles. |
| 08/29 | 9:34pm | Beau Brinkley | TE | Questionable | Shoulder/Suspension | Brinkley was arrested for drunken driving and likely faces a suspension from the team. The junior is the team's long snapper and a reserve TE. He probably would not have played Saturday vs. Illinois anyway after suffering a shoulder sprain in practice last week. | | 08/29 | 1:19pm | Munir Prince | CB | Questionable | Transient Quadriplegia | Prince suffered what's known as "transient quadriplegia," a temporary loss of feeling in all extremities, following a vicious hit during preseason practice. Feeling has since returned and Price is expected to fully recover, but there is no timetable for his return to football activities. The senior contributes defensively in nickel and dime situations, but his main value comes on special teams as the Tigers' primary punt returner and gunner. |
| 08/16 | 11:56am | Donovan Bonner | LB | Out For Year | Knee | Bonner suffered a torn ACL and will miss the 2010 season. The sophomore was likely to be the backup at weakside LB. | | 08/03 | 7:34pm | Tyler Crane | LB | Out For Year | Dismissed | Crane has been dismissed from the team due to undisclosed disciplinary reasons. The junior played in 11 games in 2009, recording four tackles, and was not expected to be more than a backup in 2010. |
|
Next game: FCS (1-AA) Opponent at Navy on 09/11
|
| 08/31 | 11:30am | Mario Washington | WR/PR | Out For Year | Dismissed | Washington has been dismissed from the Midshipmen for an honor code violation. He was expected to be the teams' primary punt returner and also factor into the passing game more as a senior. Considered one of Navy's best athletes, Washington had nine catches for 165 yards and led the team with 14 punt returns last year.
| | 08/05 | 5:28pm | Marcus Curry | SB | Out For Year | Dismissed | Curry was dismissed from Navy football due to detrimental conduct. The junior has transferred to Texas State. He rushed for more yards than any other SB last year and ranked third on the team behind QB Ricky Dobbs and FB Vince Murray. |
|
Next game: San Diego State at New Mexico State on 09/11
|
| 08/17 | 9:02pm | Lorenzo Caldwell | CB | Out For Year | Transferred | Caldwell has transferred to Central Washington. The JC transfer had one tackle in his Aggie career. |
| 08/17 | 8:34pm | Stephon Hatchett | FS | Out For Year | Academics | Hatchett has been ruled academically ineligible and will not play this fall. The senior ranked third on the team in tackles (98) last year and would have been the team's leading returning tackler. Expect junior Ben Bradley, who did not play in 2009, or freshman George Callender to emerge as the starter for 2010. |
|
Next game: FCS (1-AA) Opponent at Northern Illinois on 09/11
|
| 09/04 | 3:13pm | Patrick George | CB | Doubtful | Ankle | George has been out most of the past three weeks with a sprained ankle and did not play in the season opener. The senior was replaced by Kiaree Daniels in the starting lineup. George had 46 tackles and two INT's in 2009. |
| 08/21 | 2:52pm | Pat Schiller | LB | Out | Knee | Schiller had surgery in May for a torn ACL and is expected to miss the beginning of the season. The junior was third on the team a year ago with 82 tackles. Coach Kill is optimistic that Schiller will play at some point this season. Kill also said he is going to have to rely on a couple of freshman to step up until Schiller comes back. |
|
Next game: Michigan at Notre Dame on 09/11
|
| 09/03 | 8:34am | Kyle Rudolph | TE | Probable | Hamstring | A tight hamstring has limited Rudolph throughout the final days of preseason camp, but he's still expected to play on opening night after being pronounced "100 percent physically better" by HC Brian Kelly. Rudolph is an All-American candidate at his position, and his presence is doubly important on opening night with top reserve Mike Ragone questionable at best to be available. | | 09/03 | 8:34am | Mike Ragone | TE | Doubtful | Heat Issues | Ragone was hospitalized during preseason while recovering from heat illness suffered at practice, and is not expected to play in the season opener. He's being evaluated day-to-day to determine a potential return date. The junior started seven games last season and caught six passes for 60 yards. This year he's expected to play alongside All-American candidate Kyle Rudolph. |
| 09/01 | 4:34am | David Posluszny | LB | Doubtful | Hamstring | Posluszny is not expected to play on opening night due to a hamstring injury, decimating the Irish's depth at inside linebacker. The reserve MLB, originally third on the depth chart, has ceded his spot to true freshman Danny Spond, who is now the top backup to star Manti Te'o, since fellow LB Steve Paskorz is also injured. | | 09/01 | 4:33am | Steve Pastorz | LB | Out | Knee | Pastorz has been ruled out for three weeks with a knee strain. The senior began camp as the top backup to star MLB Manti Te'o. With third-stringer David Posluszny dealing with a hamstring injury, true freshman Danny Spond becomes Te'o's understudy. |
| 08/31 | 11:32am | Shaq Evans | WR | Out For Year | Transfer | Sophomore WR Evans was granted his release from the Irish and intends to transfer after not appearing on the initial two-deep roster. A highly touted recruit in 2008, Evans caught only seven passes in his freshman season. | | 08/24 | 5:31pm | Anthony McDonald | LB | Out | Knee | McDonald tweaked his right knee and has already been ruled out for the season opener. He has been competing with sophomore Carlo Calabrese for the first-team defense at inside LB. |
| 08/05 | 5:24pm | Chris Badger | DB | Out For Year | Mission | Badger will spend the next two years on a Mormon mission. The incoming freshman enrolled early for spring practice. He was not expected to contend for significant playing time in 2010. | | 08/05 | 5:20pm | Spencer Boyd | DB | Out For Year | Transferred | Boyd has transferred to USF. The true frosh was not expected to impact the Irish secondary in 2010. |
|
Next game: Toledo at Ohio on 09/11
|
| 08/17 | 9:08pm | AJ Oxley | DL | Out For Year | Dismissed | Oxley has been dismissed from the team. The senior spent all of the 2009 season under suspension and ends his Bobcat career with 43 tackles. |
|
Next game: Florida State at Oklahoma on 09/11
|
| 09/03 | 11:06am | Frank Alexander | DE | Questionable | Ankle | Alexander has an ankle sprain and is questionable to play in the season opener. Certainly not at 100%, if Oklahoma was healthier on the defensive line, Alexander might be held out, but with Adrian Taylor likely out, Alexander might be asked to gut out the game. If he cannot play, a rotation of inexperienced freshmen and sophomore will need to step up. | | 09/03 | 11:04am | Adrian Taylor | DT | Doubtful | Ankle | Taylor suffered a dislocated ankle in the Sun Bowl and is still walking with a bit of a limp. The senior, though he is making a speedy recover, is unlikely to be ready for opening day. Without Taylor, Oklahoma suddenly becomes very inexperienced on the defensive front, relying heavily on Casey Walker, who had a good fall camp but has only two career tackles, as well as Jamarkus McFarland, owner of eight career tackles. |
| 08/26 | 11:18am | Roy Finch | RB | Out | Ankle | Finch suffered a hairline fracture in his ankle and will miss the first half of the season, at the least. The true freshman was one of the Sooners' reserves behind starter DeMarco Murray before the injury. | | 08/26 | 11:16am | Mossis Madu | RB | Out | Suspension | Madu was arrested and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol in July. The senior had a strong spring and was expected to compete with sophomore Jermie Calhoun for carries behind DeMarco Murray. He will serve a one-game suspension during the season opener. |
| 08/18 | 9:40am | Austin Box | LB | Out | Back | Box is expected to be out 3-6 weeks with a back injury. Box, who has started 6 games the past two years, has dealt with injuries during his entire time at Oklahoma. |
|
Next game: Rutgers at Florida International on 09/11
|
| 09/02 | 9:24am | Robert Joseph | FB | Out | Leg | Joseph will be unable to play in Rutgers' season opener due to a leg injury. He is a reserve in the fullbacking corps. | | 09/02 | 9:24am | Phil Lewis | WR | Out | Upper Body | RS Freshman Lewis will not play in the season opener due to an upper body injury. He was merely slated to provide depth this season. |
| 09/01 | 11:56am | Rob Horrell | LS | Out For Year | Knee | Horrell, the Scarlet Knights long snapper, is out for the season with a knee injury. Rutgers has not announced who will fill the void on special teams. | | 09/01 | 11:54am | Kordell Young | RB | Doubtful | Personal | Senior RB Young is unlikely to play on opening night as he's missed nearly a week of practice while attending to a personal matter. When healthy, Young serves as a capable third-down back for the Scarlet Knights. |
| 09/01 | 11:51am | Casey Turner | RB | Doubtful | Groin/Leg | Turner has been in and out of practice because of a nagging groing/upper leg injury and is unlikely to be able to play in the season opener. As part of a crowded backfield, the loss of repetitions will only hurt Turner's chances at productivity. Joe Martinek and Jordan Thomas will carry the load for Rutgers. |
| 09/01 | 11:51am | JT Tartacoff | WR | Doubtful | Leg | Freshman WR Tartacoff is listed as doubtful to be able to play in the season opener against Norfolk State, according to the team's official injury report. Tartacoff has impressed as a slot receiver, and the true freshman would likely be in line for some playing time if healthy, as the Rutgers' WR corps has been banged up this preseason, most notably losing Quron Pratt for an extended period. | | 09/01 | 11:50am | Steve Shimko | QB | Probable | Shoulder | Shimko has been sidelined with a shoulder injury and missed a significant portion of fall camp, but is listed as probable to able to play on opening night. True freshman Chas Dodd is Rutgers' other option should Savage need relief. Surgery does remain a possibility for Shimko, in which case his season would be over. |
| 08/31 | 11:36am | Mark Harrison | WR | Probable | Head | Harrison suffered a head injury in a preseason scrimmage but is expected to be ready for the season opener against Norfolk State. The sophomore was expected to replace Tim Wright in the starting lineup, but it is unclear if he'll earn that role right away. True freshman Jeremy Deering has taken over the starting No. 2 wideout role while Harrison was on the shelf. | | 08/31 | 4:17am | Joe Martinek | RB | Probable | Hamstring | Martinek's hamstring is fine and he's back on the practice field preparing for the season. The junior led the team in rushing last year (967 yards, 9 TD's). Coach Schiano does not seem too concerned about Martinek's availability for the season opener. |
| 08/30 | 11:38am | Antwan Lowery | OL | Probable | Finger | Lowery has missed most of the past week after a procedure was done to his finger, but should be available for the season opener if needed. The RS freshman is expected to be a backup this year. | | 08/22 | 10:27pm | Quron Pratt | WR | Out | Shoulder | Pratt injured his shoulder and will be out for a month. The RS freshman was going to be Rutgers' main slot receiver this season. The starting job will likely be won by true freshman J.T. Tartacoff, RS sophomore Keith Stroud or RS freshman Aaron Heyward. |
| 08/14 | 6:01pm | Tim Wright | WR | Out For Year | Knee | Wright suffered a knee injury in practice this week and will miss the 2010 season. The sophomore was named the team's most improved player during spring practice and was projected to start this year. Fellow sophomore Mark Harrison is expected to be inserted in the starting lineup. | | 08/04 | 10:34pm | Richard Muldrow | OL | Out For Year | Transferred | Muldrow has transferred to the University of Richmond. The junior played a supportive role last year and more of the same was forecast for the upcoming season. |
