2023 football roster.
Updated on the website. As of now the following players will not return for the 2023 season.
Zyquan Bessant
Kane Everson
Trey Watkins
Caylin Newton
Carl Fowler
Tye Freeland
Zach Shumate
Cam Spangler
Ethan Chang
Colby Sorsdal
Justin Johnson
Hunter Klein
Sam Trainer
Ifeanyi Ogudo
Lachlan Pitts
Jackson McCarthy
With 16 starters returning we are poised for another strong year. 6th year guys include Malcolm Spencer, Ryan Poole, Kevin Jarrell, Will Whitehurst, Isaiah Jones, Marcus Crowell and Tyler Oedekoven.
Key spots...
- Assume Marcus Crowell will step in at RT.
- Colton Turner and Trey McDonald see roles expand at TE.
- Carson Jenkins, J.J. Johnson and Tyler Oedekoven look to fill for Newton. Jenkins and/or Jalen Jones could pick up punt return spot.
- Plenty of competition on DL with Dzidzienyo, Malone, Sarantis and Zahid vying to start along with Lynn. Huyck and DeBuglio will figure and two strong potential freshmen coming in.
- Staib, Washington and Osborne look to take Watkins' spot. Desmond Cook may figure as well.
- David Roulley back in the mix to replace Tye Freeland.
- Bryson Harvey or transfer to replace Chang.
- In addition to Crowell, Roulley and Huyck, guys returning from injury include Drew Babcock, Jonathan Egwuatu, Tanner Slavic and Drew Sotka.
Team should again have significant depth just about everywhere. Lots of leaders ready to replace a memorable group of captains.

This is a great breakdown. Hate to see Klein leaving.
Love that Lynn and Pius will remain at W&M. They could definitely move "up" somewhere but they know they are in an amazing situation, especially together. 20 sacks between them, opposing teams will have to pick one to focus on. Dzidzienyo looks ready to make huge strides!

RE: 2023 football roster.
We are loaded. Just need to fill in depth where players are moving up the depth chart. My only real "need" looks like kicker.
Too bad for Everson. I guess his knee injury was pretty bad.

Lester can go, since he is a "bigger" back, that can get lost. Imoh changes direction so quickly.

Note CB Latrelle Smith back on the team. Good to see, always need DB's.

In case anyone forgot Latrelle started 9 games as a true freshman and racked up 47 tackles, 9 PBUs, 2 INTs, 2.5 TFL and forced a fumble.
The CB room is as deep and talented as we've ever had. Ryan Poole and Jalen Jones backed by Latrelle Smith, Ethan Yip, Imari Smith and Jaedon Joyner all of whom have starting experience. Add to the mix talented freshmen TJ McGill, Sascha Garcia and Brendan Robinson all three of whom may pan out at either CB or Safety.
Safety not as deep but very solid with Malcolm Spencer and Marcus Barnes backed by David Roulley, John Kearney and Joe Groves. Fully expect Roulley to be a breakout player.

Yes, hoping Roulley roars back after injury.
Remember Smith starting as TF and playing well.
