No telling how the NCAA decides what is worthy of an exception and what isn’t. Sounds like in this case he’ll have to sit a year unless an exception is granted. Here’s a short article on his journey so far.

The 2nd OL we’ve offered from FCS Stonehill.

OL from UCONN.

CB from Virginia.

DT Devon Robinson in the portal. I thought he was already out of eligibility.

DT from Syracuse.

There it is.

One of coach Wart’s DTs from New Hampshire coming in for a visit.

Starting Nickel/Safety for Buffalo in 2022 (signed as a JUCO). Transferred to West Virginia and saw action in 2 games. Back in the portal as a grad transfer.

About time we had one of these situations go in our favor.

I imagine he’s fill Corey Thomas role of sliding between Nickel and Safety. Great size and length. Definitely had the production at the FCS level as a CB, which should translate to success here.

17 transfers out so far (not including a few walk-ons who did not see the field). End of season starters are WR Jasaiah Gathings, S Corey Thomas, OL Nate Williams, CB Tyson Durant. The rest are depth players with varying range of potential. The only incoming portal addition to date (not including JUCO) is OL Laurence Seymore who is already on campus. At the moment, 13 HS prospects and 1 JUCO are publicly committed. WMU has the most portal departures with 18, but Ohio has been hit the hardest in terms of quality. Today marks one week the portal has been open and already over 100 MAC players have entered. Full MAC list can be seen here.

FCS All-American Safety from NC Central.

Western Michigan Safety. Played in every game on Special Teams, 5 games on defense, and started 1 in 2023. Excellent tackler.

Played his way into a P5 gig and probably a little NIL $. Too bad we didn’t get more out of him besides just a year of strong play.

CB from Furman. Grad transfer.

TE Nik Ognenovic in the portal. That’s leaves only two scholarship TEs and only one with significant game action on offense.

I think Witherspoon may become a TE. Have to see how how that one plays out.

JUCO Preseason All-America 3rd Team. Runs well, long arms, makes difficult catches. Good chance he helps us next year.

Vanderbilt TE grad transfer with 2 years of eligibility.

He’s a guy that visited a while back and it seemed like we were in the drivers seat before he committed to Monmouth. Will have to see if anything picks up here.

LB that we were in on late last year before he chose Army. Did not finish out the season with Army.

Safety from Western Carolina.

DT from Memphis.

Spoke to one of the portal DBs who is deciding between us and two other schools. He’s planning to commit next week.
