Share of last season's production each unit returns. Higher means more continuity: 70%+ is healthy, 45–70% a normal rebuild, under 45% a major turnover.

6 proven transfers in, carrying the production below from their prior school.

• Nico Brown WR ← Yale 100 impact
• Leroy Bryant CB ← Washington 49 impact
• Dara Adeyemi OL ← Bucknell
• Aidan Kilstrom OL ← Harvard
• Carter Shaw WR ← UCLA
• Davis Warren QB ← Michigan

Impact scores offensive skill additions (QB/RB/WR/TE) — prior-season production normalized within position (100 ≈ a 90th-percentile producer at that spot) and discounted for non-FBS competition, so a top back counts alongside a top quarterback. Defensive and O-line additions count as transfers but aren't box-score measurable, so they carry no impact score. The rating figure is this class's portal contribution vs. the FBS average, capped at ±2.5.

• 3rd-down conversion 33.8% 31th — below avg
• Red-zone TD rate 10.4% 18th — bottom tier
• 4th-down aggression 40.8% 69th — average
• Late & close 4.5 yds/play 33th — below avg

Percentile is across all FBS teams with play-by-play data for the season. "Late & close" is yards per play in Q4+ with a one-score margin — a proxy for clutch offensive performance.
