I believe 2024 is a typo though. Names like Larison, Hastings, Tompkins, Hutton, Davis, Bains, Cotton are all missing.

Did we lose Winston Williams? Having only played in five games prior to 2024 year, and this being his fifth year, he is definitely eligible,
Robbie may or may not be a loss, we will see. He didn’t play enough for us to judge.
I’m with you 100% on playing talented players so they feel they aren’t wasting years here.

Must have been a work in progress when i saw it, as it still had Cotton on it.
They have gone back to listing players by eligibility, so a lot of players’ class didn’t change.

Winston Williams is on the updated Spring roster. The young guns in the WR room are going to have to step up because the guys that are returning cumulatively had less than 1000 yards on the season. I was hoping that we could have enticed a transfer portal guy looking for big time snaps given the exodus of receivers.

I’m more concerned about the CBs, very little experience there.
We have two starters at corner back, and a starting safety, who are not on the spring roster, even though all three have remaining eligibility.. This in addition to losing our starting Nickel and backup corner back to transfer..

We also don't have any punter currently listed haha

Man, not that we should be in the business of punting, but if can't find a guy for next season who can consistently murder balls - I'll be disappointed. Davis is a special teams paradise. From Colton Schmidt to Colby Wadman to Daniel Whelan - we should have a NFL quality punter on the team at all times.

Interviews set to take place this week with Dalton Turay and Todd Sloat of the Football Collective and Bob Larison, Lan’s Dad. Send your questions!

I’m going to miss seeing the Larison and Hasting clans at the games!

I think the biggest news in Aggie land has been the possibility of football to the mountain west. What are their thoughts on that potential move and what hurdles/obstacles do we need to get over to make it happen.

Ask Bob how Lan's ankle is doing...and if Lan ends up in the Seahawks organization, would that be the coolest thing ever or what?

For those who don't remember Dalton Turay was a FB for the Ags from 2011 to 2014, I personally loved watching him block - he did a lot of dirty, tough work for the running game.

Taylor was a TE for Davis 2010-2013, basically TE1 in 2013. Hails from up around Dan Hawkins country (Bieber, CA) in McArthur, CA, NE of Redding a bit in Shasta County.

Dalton and Taylor played in the tail end of the Biggs years and into the early Gould years so go easy...put in a lot of work and didn't have a ton of wins to show for it.

2010 UC Davis: 6-5 Overall, beat San Jose State 14-13, won at North Dakota, won a close one late at Poly, beat Sac State in a close one.
2011 UC Davis: 4-7 Overall, got to play at Arizona State, @ Hawai'i, L to Humboldt State, beat Poly, beat Sac State.
2012 UC Davis: 5-6 Overall, L @ SJSU, W @ South Dakota State 12-8, beat Weber, lost a tough one to Montana State at home 41-48, L @ Cheney 28-31, beat Sac State 34-27
2013 UC Davis: 5-7 Overall, L heartbreaker @ South Dakota 7-10, played @ Nevada, whooped by Portland State at home, whooped by Montana at home, lost vs. Poly 16-34, beat Sac 34-7.
2014 UC Davis: 2-9 Overall, blanked @ Stanford, played @ Colorado State, the game where Prukop and Montana State dropped 77 points on the Aggies at home, beat Poly 48-35, lost to Sac 30-41.

I think the theme here is this was a tough stretch for the program and for Bob Biggs - they were consistently playing two FBS teams a season to raise money, they had fully transitioned but the program was sputtering to gain any kind of consistency in the FCS.

To that effect, Dalton and Taylor played in an era that helped build the program we all see now.

How do they see UC Davis Football in 5-10 years?
How do they think the University will handle the move to the Mountain West?
Biggest facility upgrade they'd like to see on campus? (any sport, or spec. football related)
Favorite food spot in Davis when they were students?
