BGSU faces even steeper numbers crunch as season winds down

BOWLING GREEN — Bowling Green’s football team is down to 70 scholarship players following a handful of transfers and departures from the team.

Football Bowl Subdivision teams are allowed to have as many as 85 players on scholarship at one time.

Two offensive linemen — freshman Grant Abbott and redshirt sophomore Zach Dziengelewski — both left the team, according to Bowling Green. Redshirt senior Charles Lamar, who shuttled between running back and linebacker during his time at BG, also left the program.

Dziengelewski, a Swanton High School graduate, played in five games this season. Abbott was a true freshman who signed with BGSU earlier this year and had not appeared in a game.
