Team News - Roster Update

Now that camp has come to a close, there have been some updates to the 2015 Golden Rams' roster. As expected, tight end Tim Brown is no longer listed due to the recent ineligibility ruling by the NCAA. Also no longer listed is junior quarterback Andrew Derr, nor his brother John Derr who was expected to play tight end. With Tim Brown and John Derr both gone, sophomore Brandon Spatz has been moved from shark to H-back.

Spatz being moved to the offensive side of the ball and sophomore Dan Sherry not being dressed for either scrimmage has created a void at one of the inside linebacker positions. Ralph Reeves will occupy the one spot, but the other will likely be shared among Delaware transfer Justice Smith, true sophomore Sean Steinmetz or true freshman Zack Hockman.

It's unknown how severe the injury to left guard Vince Lostracco is, but it's expected that Alex Host will move into the starting spot if LoStracco can't play. However, this further highlights the youth and depth issues at both guard spots.
