Tulsa Spring Roster Analysis

• Sophomore defensive tackle Garrett Flanary is no longer on the roster due to medical reasons. He played in 10 games and had five starts as a true freshman, but only played in two games last season due to injury.

• Like Flanary, redshirt sophomore offensive lineman Waahid Muhammad is also done due to medical issues. In 2017, he played in eight games with three starts.

• Redshirt sophomore tight end David Fitzwater has transferred to Northwestern State in Louisiana, an FCS program that competes in the Southland conference. Fitzwater is from Shreveport, La. The Demons are scheduled to play at Tulsa in 2020.

• As we first reported in November, sophomore cornerback Malik Welch is transferring. He signed with TU in 2018 out of Long Beach Community College. The California native played in just three games with one tackle.

• Redshirt freshman running back Reed Martin has decided to transfer. The local product out of Tulsa Lincoln Christian played in eight games, but had just two carries for 16 yards and one touchdown in TU's loaded backfield.

• Junior offensive lineman Tristan Wyatt has graduated and will not return for his final season of eligibility. He started three games at left guard last season after senior Tyler Bowling went down with an injury.
