Cal Poly Mustang Football Announces Departures of Five Players
San Luis Obispo, CA – The Cal Poly Mustangs football team has announced the departure of five players as they prepare for the upcoming season. The program, which competes in the Big Sky Conference, confirmed that the players have opted to pursue opportunities elsewhere, creating both challenges and opportunities for the team moving forward.
Among the departing players are key contributors who played significant roles last season. Their exits come at a critical time as the Mustangs aim to strengthen their roster ahead of the new campaign. Head Coach Beau Baldwin expressed his gratitude for the contributions of the departing athletes, stating, “We appreciate everything these players have done for Cal Poly and our football program. We wish them the best in their future endeavors.”
The players leaving include standout wide receiver Jake Garcia, who was a consistent target last season, and defensive lineman Marcus Reed, known for his strong presence on the field. Additionally, quarterback Alex Martinez, who played a pivotal role in the offense, has decided to transfer, adding uncertainty to the quarterback position for the Mustangs.
With these departures, the coaching staff will be focusing on recruitment and development to fill the gaps left by these athletes. The Mustangs will also be looking to their returning players to step up and take on larger roles as they gear up for the season.
As the team navigates these changes, fans remain hopeful for a competitive season ahead. The Mustangs will kick off their campaign later this year, and the coaching staff is committed to building a strong team dynamic with the talent they have on board. More updates are expected as the program continues to evolve through the offseason.
