I saw on the news last night that YSU football has 4 players in the transfer portal. I knew of Crenshaw but not any of the others. Anyone know who they are and effect of their loss?
I know the rules are changed for now on the portal. Football has 45 days now and 15 after spring ball for players to enter the portal. The school selecting the player out of the portal need to guarantee the financial support until the player exhaust eligibility, graduates, or leaves the school even if the player decides not to participate in the sport. Designed to cut down on transfers. Also in past years way less than 50% are picked up out of the portal so those entering have to be sure of the decision or suffer not being picked up.
I also saw the other MVFC schools and numbers of those entering the portal. Western was tops at 17 or 18 while SDSU had none. But they are in the playoffs and still playing. Also NDSU had 6.

Who are they? Names please
-
The ones I am aware of:
Demeatric Crenshaw (QB)
Jack Kenneally (WR) (FR) might be a loss, he is a 6'7 210 lb WR... but don't know enough to comment really
Andrew Hardin (DB) (I can't find him)
Jasiah Medley (WR) (Fr)
Marcus Finkley (DB) (I can't even find him on the 2022 roster so no idea)
Tre Radford (WR) (So)

How did you get that info? Good work tracking them.
-
Any of these guys are hoping to move up to FBS or are they just want to go D2 to get playing time.

Most are trying to stay in D1, whether that means still FCS OR even moving up to FBS though is case by case.

Info is not the easiest to come by, I don't have access to the transfer portal personally as it is not public. Mostly, I am hearing from other sources (who are the real persons needing commended), and then I'm able to verify based on finding social media accounts for the player where inevitably I have been able to find that they did indeed post they are in the portal and looking to leave.

With Phillips being so close with Fickell, it would be nice if Fickell introduced our staff to some potential former Cincinnati (or Wisconsin) players in the portal!
-
I had only just realized that Sac State's RB was in the transfer portal, only to look up his social media and find that he just committed to Arizona State (less than 2 hours ago)... Would have been a good RB if we could have gotten him.
-
I think no one publicly has access to the portal anyways. Good stuff tho. Let's hope that is all that entered the portal from YSU.

Crenshaw to Tennessee State.

Crenshaw to Tennessee State.
According to their website, they also signed another QB in this early signing period (with 6 players). I wish him well.

Actually Tennessee State is the same distance from his home as Ytown.

Tenn State opens with Notre Dame next year. How does that happen?

Really, I thought that ND refused to play FCS schools.

Lol, that’s the excuse they use if they don’t want to play you.
Who knows, may be ND had a late cancellation from a FBS school. Tennessee State guys probably said the same thing…..why would a FBS playoff team (or possibly National Champion), Ohio State, play play YSU in 2023?

Crenshaw will not play QB at Tennessee State. I bet they have another position for him. He was not that good at QB. That is why he entered the portal.
