Projected roster openings by sport
Every program's official roster says how many seniors and graduate students it has at each position. We count them (and only count them) to project where spots open for the incoming class. Pick a sport to see the programs losing the most players, by position.

What "projected opening" means
An estimate, nothing more: players listed as seniors or graduate students on the official roster this season, compared with everyone at the position whose class is listed. It does not know about transfers, early departures, injuries, walk-ons or recruits already committed, and a senior without a stated redshirt may still have a year left. Programs whose roster leaves too many classes or positions blank are shown on their own page but left out of the rankings. Coaches recruit for need and fit; an opening is not an offer.
