The Ncaa Roster limits are getting cut significantly down (23 spots I believe on average) and so a lot of players may be "encouraged" to hit the portal.

Going to be a bummer for the walk on program and PWO, and I'm curious how this will shake out across all of the college football landscape.

"Every FBS roster will now be limited to 105 athletes, a 23-spot reduction from the current average, and every one of those spots is entitled to a scholarship. While teams still have flexibility in how many scholarships they allocate, the new structure strongly incentivizes schools to fully fund all roster spots with scholarship athletes, leaving little room for non-scholarship players. This shift effectively reduces the incentive to field walk-ons, as teams will likely prioritize fully funded rosters over maintaining non-scholarship spots. As a result, the traditional pathway for walk-ons is quickly disappearing, putting the very future of the walk-on athlete in jeopardy. "
