Inside Texas State's roster turnover in Year 1 under head coach G.J. Kinne
Texas State sits just second behind Colorado and Deion Sanders in the number of transfers brought in during the 2023 offseason. How head coach G.J. Kinne transformed the Bobcats' roster before coaching a game in San Marcos.
SAN MARCOS – Texas State head coach G.J. Kinne has added 51 new scholarship players to his roster, and 20 pounds to his frame, since accepting the job on Dec. 1 of 2022. He credits the roster turnover to research. He blames the extra weight on frequent trips to the hibachi grill during official visits.
Such is life as a new head coach in modern football. The old days of turning over a roster in three or four recruiting cycles are disappearing in the rear-view mirror. Colorado set the pace this offseason with 70 incoming scholarship players. Kinne’s Bobcats sit in second with 51 new additions. Arizona State is at 50, while Auburn sits at 41.
