FBS Teams Overhaul Rosters for 2025 Season

Jacksonville State is preparing for a rebuilding year in 2025 after significant player departures and a coaching change, as Charles Kelly takes over to implement a new offensive approach. Ohio State, led by head coach Ryan Day, enters the season with high expectations following a national championship, facing pressure to beat Michigan and remain in playoff contention amid an ongoing quarterback competition. Old Dominion is positioned for a breakout Sun Belt season with a strong running game and robust defense under coach Ricky Rahne, though questions linger about their receiving corps. Kent State is enduring another major rebuild after a period of poor performance and coaching instability, with interim coach Mark Carney seeking to establish offensive consistency despite a thin roster. Across these programs, transitions and roster overhauls are shaping the outlook for the 2025 college football season.
