There are going to be a lot of upper-echelon players that are going to wind up missing this game for multiple reasons. Let's take a look at the Chanticleers and the Spartans rosters and discuss which key players are going to miss this game.

Top Coastal Carolina players not playing in the Hawaii Bowl

Evan Crenshaw, Punter

Sophomore punter Evan Crenshaw is not going to be playing in the Hawaii Bowl as he is one of the massive list of Chanticleers players that have entered the NCAA Transfer Portal.
