Thirty-eight names were officially listed on the roster of player representatives at the American Athletic Conference’s 2023 media days in Arlington, TX. Representing a university is typically a high honor held by seasoned veterans and team captains, who must spend two long days serving as a spokesperson for an entire football program.
Of those 38 players at AAC media days, four were incoming transfers yet to play a down with their AAC institution. Two of those players hailed from Charlotte — a team affected by an offseason coaching change and severe roster turnover, as roughly two-thirds of their projected starters arrived from the transfer portal.
