The eligibility in this roster reflects what it would look like without the NCAA decision to grant an additional year to everyone who played in 2020. For every non-freshman on the roster except Kurt Hinish and Jonathan Doerer you can add an extra year of eligibility.

The reason for this is that the majority of players like won't take advantage of the additional season, either by their choice or the school's. There won't be roster limits in 2021, but according to reports the rosters must get back to 85 scholarships by 2022, which means very few players will get that extra season. One position to keep an eye on in regards to taking advantage of the additional time is linebacker (Bo Bauer, Shayne Simon).
