Team News - 2019 Roster Changes

With recruiting season complete, there are some additional roster changes worth noting:
  • Kyle Boney (Millersville) - It was just over a year ago when Boney announce his plans to transfer from Lackawanna to West Chester. An all-state running back at Emmaus High School in 2015, he moved to linebacker at Lackawanna. He never appeared on the Golden Ram roster. Boney is slated to be a fullback for the Marauders.
  • Amara Kenneth (California) - Kenneth was part of the 2017 recruiting class and redshirted as a true freshman that season. He did not appear on the 2018 roster. Last week, he was introduced as a member of California's recruiting class.
  • Nate Barnes - As a true sophomore this past year, Barnes started every game and was second on the team in tackles with 82 including 8.5 sacks. Due to a legal issue, he has subsequently been removed from the Golden Rams' 2018 roster.
  • Tommy Bramwell (Delaware) - Offensive lineman Bramwell originally tweeted his plan to play for the Golden Rams, but has since tweeted an update about going to Delaware. However, his name is not mentioned among four additional signings that the Blue Hens made on Wednesday.
