Looking at the 2019 FB roster. There are 22 Seniors. Noticed that both Fr QB's were redshirted along with most of the 2018 Signing Class.Grey shirts aren't listed, assumed they are part of the 2019 Class. Wondered if there were any early enrollees or anybody transferring in?
Thanks for posting Boca and alerting us to updated 2019 roster. I generally start looking around this time as well for the upgrade. I don’t see any surprises but if someone does please post. I reviewed vs 2018 and besides the known seniors, going pro, and transfers I cannot find any other deletions.
Go Rockets!!!
Ok..... I have found some deletions:
LB Tadarrius Patterson (high hopes but never played)
DL Lamar Davis
OL Chandler Cotterman - former starter lost to injury
Ronnie Jones is still listed on roster. He was a senior last year. Either this is a typo or he RS’d but I thought he played in 4+ games. I haven’t yet checked 2018 participation records to verify if it is in fact a typo.
I sincerely with CC great luck with his future outside football!
Go Rockets!
I was wondering what happened to the fellow from Switzerland - Kimpiabi, so I checked his twitter. Posted recently that he "lost the opportunity to play D1 ball". Hmm, wonder what that means. Says he is looking for D2 opportunities.

Jones was a Junior last year. Signed in the 2016 class.
Ok NC .... Jones did play in 12games in 2018. I hope he is indeed back for 2019.
FWIW... Patterson’s Twitter account still shows him as a Rocket but who knows how active he keeps his header. I suspect he is gone.
Go Rockets!
Others missing:
Anunike
Heuerman
Lancia
Long (the punter)
Roberts
Tilque
Also I see Atariwa still on the roster, so I guess that means he did get his 6th year granted?
I noticed Atariwa too and this is indeed good news if true as it really helps solidify the youthful OL.
Good catch on Anunike and Roberts. Both did not seem destined for PT. Heuerman was a true experiment so no loss from a W/L standpoint.
I wish all good luck
Atariwa back for 2019 will be huge for the OL. Really sucks to no longer see Tadarrius Patterson on the roster. I had HIGH hopes for him at our worst position, LB.
well if patterson couldn't crack that linebacker rotation i think your hopes were unrealistic, c'mon somebody step up, beuller??? anyone???
How about..... Beutler, Beutler, Beutler
A little bit of throwback humor
Go Rockets!

Biggest mystery in the Candle years has been his lack of attention to the Linebacker position.
Started believing Atariwa was coming back when he was not introduced with the other seniors in the final game of the year against Central Michigan. Was surprised that Chris Green was included as one of the seniors. Injuries limited his time on the field and it was likely he just had to move on at this point.
Heuerman was on the roster last week I was looking at it for Running Backs but you are right he definitely is not on it today.

I saw a tweet that indicated Patterson's name is in the NCAA transfer portal. So, it does appear he is gone.
Atariwa is a good player and leader. having him back would do a lot to solidify the oline.
I count 60 scholarship players currently on roster. If we add the 20 incoming freshman and the five gray-shirts from 2018 (Carey, Ragin, Barrow, Bisek, & Baker) that equals the 85 scholarship limit exactly. As an engineer I love simple calculations the give the desired logical results!!!
Go Rockets!!!!!!

I don’t see Sam Baker on the spring roster or Woody L. (OL from Kentucky).
