# 1996 Florida Roster Audit

Generated from the current Atlas roster dataset on 2026-10-06. This is a field-level screening of every one of the 89 catalogued roster entries against the modern official Florida roster page, with deeper historical review of the identified Kearse/Wright number conflict. It is **not yet a full 89-player comparison against the printed 1996 media guide and game books**. “Not recorded in Atlas” means the field is absent from the normalized Atlas data; it does not mean the underlying source lacks the value.

## Summary

- Total roster entries screened: **89**
- Fully verified across all requested fields: **0**
- Partially verified: **89** (including one row with a resolved jersey-number claim and otherwise partial fields)
- Resolved conflicts: **1** (Jevon Kearse 1996 number; modern roster #4 vs historical/game #42)
- Unresolved conflicts found in this pass: **0**
- Requested fields absent from the normalized roster data for every player: **height, weight, redshirt/eligibility status, actual deployment/role, letterwinner status, documented game participation, starts** (623 player-field gaps)
- Suspected spelling issues found in the roster-name comparison: **0**; all 89 display names were compared with the current official roster page. Independent historical name verification remains open.
- Suspected jersey issue: **1** identified conflict (Kearse). Duplicate #4 is not itself a conflict once Kearse is corrected; Tennessee’s 1996 game record lists Wright #4 and Kearse #42 simultaneously.
- Hometown/high-school discrepancies: **0 identified** in the limited modern-page comparison; independent historical cross-check remains open for all entries.

## Conflict decision

**Jevon Kearse — No. 42 for the 1996 on-field jersey.** The modern Florida roster page gives him No. 4, also assigned to Lawrence Wright. The University of Tennessee’s official September 21, 1996 participation record lists both players in that game as #42 and #4 respectively. Florida’s 1997 media guide and 2024 retrospective identify Kearse as #42. The Atlas preserves the conflicting modern database value in `data/roster-1996.json` under `fieldClaims.number.conflictingValues`, with sources, dates, resolution, and rationale.

## Field limits

- Roster position is preserved separately from actual deployment; deployment is not yet normalized.
- Academic class is preserved as listed and is not treated as redshirt/eligibility status.
- “Hometown” and “last school” retain the modern roster’s labels; hometown is not inferred as birthplace, and last school is not assumed to mean hometown.
- Height/weight are season-sensitive and are not yet in the normalized Atlas roster, so no values are copied from later career pages.
- Roster listing, letterwinner status, game participation, and starts remain separate concepts.
- Name-variant records are not present for this roster; no variants have been invented.

## Next archival pass

Transcribe the printed 1996 media-guide roster row-by-row, then compare each field independently with 1996 game books and contemporary roster sheets. Add claim-level citations for number, position, class, height, weight, hometown, and school separately. Resolve every discrepancy without replacing one source’s underlying observation.
