It looks like Maye and Mooney are two OL that don't show up on the current roster.

“Offensive linemen Mike Maye and Bobby Mooney, defensive lineman Christian Burkhalter and defensive back Jaylin Marshall were not on the team's online roster after a recent update. All four had eligibility remaining, but saw little to no playing time last season.”

Four Georgia Tech players no longer on roster

Not a commitment tweet, but just happens to be there/have been there recently.



Not saying there was tampering...but given past events, kinda makes you wish the NCAA wasn't too scared to enforce their own rules, doesn't it?

Mooney is surprising as he is a legacy and seemed determined to play for Tech no matter what.

Anyone have any (non paywalled) insights?

He is finishing up his degree. Not sure what happened athletically, other than not getting off the Scout Team?

Maye has played a lot on the extra point and field goal teams over seaveral seasons, but not much else. Solid backup. Mooney saw very little PT in the Spring Game so maybe he was sent a message.

Is this a numbers situation? Too many on scholarship? Hate to see Mooney leave. His dad was a really good player and had hoped his kid would be too.

Thanks. I got some misinformation from a Hiver, who claimed Mooney would be kept through graduation. Unless he’s on a medical, I was thinking like you in that he was even late enrolling last year?

This will become more and more the norm. Guys that do not show progress on the field will be told to move on. With the portal, NIL and recruiting, roster refinement will be an ongoing process that occurs rapidly and it will make it possible to change your fate, for good or bad, a continual moving target. It is best not to fall in love with anyone in this environment.

Go Jackets!

He was a late enrollee.

I don’t have any insight into the rest, other than being aware that you can keep a player on scholarship while not counting against the limits if they aren’t allowed to play (basically, the same as a medical).

Why is anyone surprised anymore? The NCAA has been gutted (thankfully) so there are no rules which is fine by me. My question is and always has been why does a supposed smart school not use the tools within the system to get better? I have no problem with Ole Miss doing things to make Ole Miss better. That’s what everyone should be doing instead of hoping the tooth fairy will show up to enforce unenforceable rules.

Makes me wish the Jackets we have left can whip their arse on September 16.
