What to watch for at Beaver Stadium on Senior Day (other than the game on the field, obviously)

With a large incoming recruiting class (25+) expected on national signing day this February, there is speculation that several redshirt juniors will graduate this year and will not be returning for their final year of eligibility. In the past, the biggest indicator that a player will not return for their final year is if they are recognized on Senior Day.

Here is a list of possible redshirt juniors who may elect not to return:

1. Kevin Cousins (WR)
   
2. James McDonald (WR)
   
3. Ako Poti (OG)
   
4. Nerraw McCormick (OT)
   
5. Devin Fentress (DB/WR)
   

So, if you are one of the lucky 109,000 plus to be in attendance on Saturday, make sure you are in your seat before the Seniors are recognized and you will have a good idea which players won't be back in 2009. Personally, it would not surprise me if any variation of these players chooses to return or not return.

Edit (Nov. 22, 2008): As it turns out, none of the above players were recognized on Senior day. So, while we still do not know who may or may not return for their fifth year of eligibility, I would not rule out the possibility since we need to make room for a recruiting class that is probably going to be 27 strong.
