Update on NCAA Division 1 College Roster Sizes.

-Roster sizes any where from 24-28. Some Power 4 conferences are voting on a smaller number.

-They will NOT grandfather in the current roster. What does this mean? That if there are current rosters beyond the roster limit they will have to make cuts. Not just with their current team but with their 2025 verbally committed class.

-2025 D1 commits, you’re never officially safe until you sign your national letter of intent in November. If they limit the roster and they do not grandfather the current rosters, your coach has to decide between keeping a current player or you. To the Power 4 commits and most mid major D1 commits, count the current roster and how many 2025’s coming in. Anything beyond 30+ you could be in trouble.

-2026 Class, there will be delays in your class. Colleges are waiting on the final verdict before offering any 2026’s because this will affect your class the most as coaches will have to be even more selective with their recruiting classes.

-One D1 coach DM came in that they believe the roster cap will be voted on conference by conference whether or not to limit the roster as some D1 schools rely on enrollment to help with their budgets.

-Overall, making a D1 Power 4 roster just became more difficult. Kids that were making these rosters as the bottom 4-6 will now slide down to mid-major D1. Those bottom 4-6 on mid-major D1 will slide down to D2, and so on and so on. College Soccer will be more competitive on the field and off the field for recruits to make the desired rosters. The committed 2025 D1 class should be paying close attention in the coming weeks because you could be looking for a new home. Current athletes on college rosters are not safe from just being on a roster. For the 2026 class expect a delay from visits or offers until the schools know how to move forward. The D1 or Bust mentality just became more competitive.
