The Portal, 2025 Style

IUP signed a transfer kicker/punter today.

It appears Tort beat out a lot of D2 schools for him. Big leg.

Still waiting for some Big Uglies to join up.

Former Clarion WR Trevon Tate has signed with UTEP.

Interesting story, Tate transferred to Tennessee Martin (FCS) after the fall and had a really strong spring. So much so that he decided to re-enter the portal and got a ton of FBS attention.

Oct 4 should be a interesting fall day with QB Nico returning to Miller Stadium as a Scot.

I totally missed that. Great pickup for the Boro and an early win for Coach Scott. For some reason, I had assumed Nico was going to Clarion.

Right now Boro has 3 QBs on its roster, only one (Swartz) of which has seen game action at that position going 2 of 6 for 9 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT. He went 2-2 for 9 yards & 1 TD against IUP :) Swartz was an effective wildcat & RB/WR, accounting for over 100 yards and 9 TDs.

They did not sign a QB this recruiting class, so Nico is a good addition and should push for the starting job. Since the entire coaching staff is new, I don't know what to expect.

Unsure about grad transfers - those usually aren't as talked about. I think I saw the DB Grimes say he was doing a grad transfer but didn't post anything official (i.e. the screenshot of the portal notification).

I'm not an SRU basher. I have a lot of respect for their program and I think highly of Lutz. I dislike them, of course, but realize they are good. I'd go as far to say Lutz should be a low-level D1 HC.

That said, they have taken some serious losses here this off-season.

They obviously have some money and Lutz is a good recruiter. But, they've lost three serious dudes here.

Also Cal U lost 4 legit starters WR UTEP, DL Akron , DL Marshall and CB Pitt…

Wow, and I thought the QB transfer would be an issue. Solomon not surprising transferring to YSU, that is where position coach went and he took Kylon Wilson with him in early transfer portal window. Miller was good against run but did not start until injuries pummeled the LB corp.

Wilson had a very nice spring game for YSU.

WR Mike Solomon. Entered April 30, committed to YSU May 4 hmmm

Also lost LB Jake Miller to Mercyhurst.

If I’m reading the 2024 stats page at the SRU website correctly this means that between graduation and transfers they’ve lost their starting QB, two leading rushers, and four leading receivers from last year. That’s an awful lot of production to replace even for a strong program.

Hilarious ... I guess he can say he's D1

However, the D2 team he just left would beat the pi$$ out of his new D1 team.
