Portal players leaving

Its a numbers game. We need DL/LBs/OL, and then a QB, some WRs MORE than we need a RB. If 44 is healthy, we get the transfer RB from Missouri State, and the continued development of Sibley, new guy Hawkins it is a solid room.

He likely gets a scholly once they sort out the rest of the roster. But that probably isn't a great deal for him -- which is why he joins the portal. Its' really just checking his options. He wants to come back (sources) but this is the nature of D1 college football.

Porter was absolutely clutch this year doing a job he wasn't brought in to do. I feel he'll be back but is testing the waters. Looks like a guy who really just wants playing time considering he already spent 3 years getting minimal action at the P4 level.

If he returns, where do y'all think he is on the depth chart week 1 of 2025 after other guys get healtht?

The guys that were ahead of him to start last season are all gone.

Regarding Porter, we also have Grey coming back. Assuming the young players develop, it’d be tough for him to play. Wishing him the best.

They are converting Gray from QB. As of right now, I would guess he, Porter, would be in consideration for the two deep considering everyone on the current roster that wasn’t injured was behind him. I would like to see Sibley and McGill to continue to develop. Evan’s is the head scratcher to me. Not sure what the issue is, but he is far from what he was rated coming out of high school.

Have no idea what the HS recruit, Hawkins, brings to the table.

Don't forget about McGill, he was a pleasant surprise.

Forgot about Gray though he is a QB convert. Considering how many guys we lost to injury, I hope we don't become too thin at the position by him leaving. I'd also rather get Porter back than have some other guy transfer in since we know what he can do.
