There’s turnover every year for every team.
Some players graduate. Some players go pro. Some players transfer. Some new players come in, and some old players return.
With the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, future rosters are more uncertain than ever as the offseason nears. Players who would normally be expected to leave could return thanks to a blanket waiver approved by the NCAA Division I Council.
At Western Kentucky, nothing official has been announced by the football program or coaching staff about who will or will not be back for the 2021 season, but if Tuesday’s regular-season finale at Charlotte is the final game this season for the Hilltoppers – bowl eligibility requirements were waived by the NCAA this fall, and WKU is not sure what its postseason possibilities could look like – then it could mark the final time together for an experienced offensive line.
