Up to 17 in the portal.

Just of note...

So, 17 in portal. Maybe 2 or 3 we go "damn, hate to see it". Not to say these guys could not develop or been good for depth.

I’m seeing a word that doesn’t exist in college football anymore- depth. Most players have little desire to exist down a depth chart and to be “depth”. Honestly I always thought it had to be really hard for a player to bust his tail for 4-5 years and barely (some never) play. Obviously nothing is guaranteed and the value of a free ride used to mean something to many but still, not every player wants to be Rudy. Portal taketh and the Portal giveth.

I'm beginning to think that either the school PR person is writing these post for these guys or they are just using AI to generate them. All say the same things all while saying ZERO.

Ummm…. we lost our starting 3 DTackles in 2 days.
Our best position group disappeared overnight. I seriously don't think we have a DT on the roster now.

This bowl game going to be bad.

GaSo had their top 7 DL out against us and had no issues with us.

Yeah…starting to get really worried about DT. Not just for the bowl game, but going forward. Seems like we could throw some resources at one of these dudes to keep at least one to build around.

Definity AI generated - Asked Copilot to draft a sappy over the top post to announce my entrance into the portal while thanking my coach, teammates, and fans:


With a heart overflowing, I’m announcing my intention to enter the transfer portal with two years of eligibility remaining.

To my coach: thank you for believing in me when it was hardest, for pushing me past who I thought I could be, and for teaching me how to lead—with humility, courage, and relentless love for the game.

To my teammates: you didn’t just share a locker room—you became family. We bled, laughed, cried, and grew together. Every early morning, every late night, every rep and every huddle stitched us together. I carry your voices in my head and your brotherhood in my heart.

To the fans: you are the soul of this place. Your cheers felt like home, your faith carried me when doubts got loud, and your energy made every moment bigger than football. Thank you for letting me play for a place I truly love.

This program changed me. I am proud—proud of the jersey I wore, proud of the standard we chased, proud of the person this journey helped me become. These memories aren’t a chapter closing; they’re a lighthouse I’ll look back on for the rest of my life.

With gratitude and respect, I’m ready for the next step. Thank you for everything. Forever grateful. Forever proud. 💛🙏 #TransferPortal

Use Nano Banana and you'll get a great graphic to go with it!

I use Nano Banana a lot for pics. Been great so far.

Are they not allowed to play? The portal doesn’t open until a few days after the bowl

Allowed, technically yes. But up to the player if they want to and the coaches if they let them.

[BallantyneApp]

I’d assume unless they have a firm offer in hand they’d like a chance to show out. I’m also hopeful we can pull at least one out of the portal by matching an offer but we’ll see

May have some that don't have offers yet, but expect them and don't want to take a chance on getting hurt. And there has to be some dislike for App at this point by some of them.
