The 2020 football season is in the rear-view after the Flames finished 10-1 with a second straight win in the Cure Bowl, this time coming over No. 12 Coastal Carolina 37-34 in overtime. Liberty’s football team is now into the offseason where numerous roster decisions will be made. This offseason will be one like no other seen before after the NCAA deemed that the 2020 season would not count against player’s eligibility.
This will be your one-stop shop this offseason for Liberty Flames football roster movement. Every player on the 2020 roster is listed below, as are the class of 2021 signees. If a player will not be returning to Liberty’s team in 2021, that information will be listed beside their name. Also, once a new landing spot for a player that transfers from Liberty is decided, that will be listed as well.
All players are sorted first by position group and then alphabetically. Year listed is what that player was in 2020, which will not change for 2021. This list includes scholarship athletes and walk-ons.
