Where can I find a complete list of guys leaving the team for graduation?

The 5th year status for some players confuses me, so does anyone know where I can find a list of all the guys that won't be here next year?

There is no list at this time. I can tell you who has used up all their eligibility or who has stated they will not be back. The 5th years for '06 have not be reported and won't be until after Signing Day. Those who want a 5th year have to apply to a University Committee not the Athletic Department for Approval. They have to be in good academic standing and have a scholarhip offer for another year of football. Some will be asked back; some will not. Some will chose to move on to follow a career choice (generally a job offer).

Out of Eligibility
FB Powers-Neal
WR Matt Shelton
OL Mark Levoir
OL Dan Steveson
DL Brian Beidatsch
LB Corey Mays
LB Brandon Hoyte
PK DJ Fitzpatrick

Those were all 5th years guys

Graduating Senior Out of Eligibility
WR Stovall

 

[BGIF]

Potential 5th Year Eligibility

RB Jenkins
WR McKnight
WR Woods (former walk-on)
TE Fasano (IF he doesn't go NFL)
TE Freeman
OT Mattes
OT Raridon
OG Santucci
OG Bonelli
C Morton
DE Frome
DE Schiccatano
DL Landri
CB Richardson
CB Harrison (former walkon publicly stated last Fall he would not be back)
S Jake Carney

and DL Travis Leikto IF readmitted to UND


That's 17


Assuming all are academically eligible I'd suspect about 10 would be asked back.

So who doesn't come back
Scratch the one year scholarship players to start: Harrison & Woods,
Jenkins
Schiccatano
Carney
IF Fasano stays/Freeman likely won't be asked back.
and Bonelli

With Fasano's announcement for the NFL, Freeman gets a 5th year.<!-- / message -->

is there any information out there regarding Leikto? i've read posts by a couple people hoping he would return, but i haven't happened upon any documentation on this. i assume his return would be a sudden announcement.

I don't recall ND releasing the names of 5th year guys until after Signing Day. Academically Leitko would be a Senior but he's already burned 4 years of eligibility, '02 DNP, '03, '04, '5 out of ND.

You might eventually see comment in a story by SBT, or one of the recruiting services that he's advised them he's been readmitted (if it happens) but we'll still have to wait on his status as an athlete.
