Travel Roster for Liberty

[OrangeXtreme]

Scholarship absences on Syracuse’s travel roster for Liberty: DB Cornelius Nunn, S Cam Jonas, QB David Summers, WR Russell Thompson-Bishop, RB Garrison Johnson, DB Adrian Cole, WR Cooper Lutz, DB Garrett Williams, DB Aman Greenwood, LB Geoff Cantin-Arku, LB Kadeem Trotter...
OL Wil Froumy, OL Qadir White, WR Kevin Mital, OL Mike Clark, DE Ishmael Goulbourne, DL Jason Munoz, DL Cooper Dawson, DL Steve Linton.

Also, obviously injured DT McKinley Williams, WR Ed Hendrix and DE Caleb Okechukwu (illness)

The only significant personnel note on first glance is that freshman walk-on Joey Kelly traveled, making it likely he’s the backup long snapper

Also worth noting: Nunn has returned to practice after missing time late in camp due to what SU Athletics called a personal reason. He just wasn’t selected for the travel roster.

True freshmen to make the trip to Liberty (an indicator that there's at least a chance they won't redshirt): LB Mikel Jones, LB Lee Kpogba, RB Jawhar Jordan, LS Joey Kelly, OL Anthony Red, OL Matthew Bergeron, DT Joe Rondi, WR Courtney Jackson, TE Luke Benson, DL Drew Tuazama

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is this a situation where they didn’t qualify due to discipline/academics or is it just that they didn’t have room for them on the plane so to speak

Or they're being redshirted (if they're true frosh).

We can't bring 105 guys to every game.

Most teams travel with 70-75.

I believe there are travel roster limits

It’s crazy to me that kids in the program for 1 year + are not traveling. Jonas, White, Clark, RTB ? For RTB that’s not good (is he injured?)

Was hoping Lutz would make the trip but I guess Courtney Jackson is the real deal.
