Squad composition

How the 32-player squad breaks down by position, as published by Eastern Ill. for 2026-27. Players listed at two positions are counted at both, since they provide cover in either.

• Goalkeepers4
• Defenders10
• Midfielders8
• Forwards10

Who is leaving, and when

9 of the 32 are in their final year, so on current form that many places open up next summer — 28% of the squad. A redshirt year does not change this: a redshirt senior leaves when a senior does.

Going by position: 5 defenders, 3 forwards, 1 goalkeeper. Which programmes lose the most at your position?

Final-year groups are shown in amber. A player listed at two positions is counted under each of them, since they provide cover in either, so the positions on a row can total more than the row itself. Redshirt players are counted in the year they are listed for.

Recent results

Overall record across the last 3 seasons. Soccer is a fall sport, so each season runs from August to a championship in December of the year shown. The NCAA files them by academic year, so the 2025 season appears as 2025-26 on its own site.
