Miami defensive lineman Akheem Mesidor is the most notable change on the Friday Student-Athlete Availability Reporting Update for the game versus Stanford on Saturday. Backup tight end Jack Nickel was added to the Friday update as out after not appearing on the initial report on Thursday.

Armond Blount, Malik Bryant and Marquise Lightfoot would have increased snaps if Mesidor is out. Stanford is tied for 11th in the ACC, allowing 5.71 TFLs per game and 16th with opponents averaging 3.14 sacks per game.
Linebacker Carter Davis and tight end Reiman Zebert are additions to the Stanford Friday Student-Athlete Availability Reporting Update as out. Davis and Zebert were on the Initial Student-Athlete Availability Reporting Update as questionable.
