2024/2025 Transfer Portal

[Mule Dad]

Luke Sampson, MSSU's starting QB, has entered the transfer portal per his Twitter page. Huge loss for the Lions!

I would think he would enjoy playing in UCM's offense if he is going to stay at the D2 level. He would be a good transition for 1 year before the next young QB, Omolo, gets the start.

I thought he was pretty impressive the last couple of years.

I did too. Hate to see him go. He was impressive the year before too when he played. When Dawson Herl moved to UCO a couple of years ago, I fully expected Luke to step in and not miss a beat. I thought he had looked as good as Dawson with just a little playing time and would have a chance to out-perform Dawson ... and he did. We will definitely miss him, and don't have anyone with experience waiting in the wings

I'm not familiar with the other qb's on the roster. Of that group, who would likely be next year's starter?

[jimbo slice]

I forgot about Chase Faber, he finally found a home that wasn’t a JUCO?

yeh.. friggin ECU

a couple of the players said he was like 2 or 3 on the rosters in tackles? easy enough to check but, he doesn't work for us anymore lol and i didn't care enough.


but o man! him puckett and west with buckheit coming up from safety?!? that woulda been awesome.

Well, the actual backup this year was Donovyn Omolo, a true freshman. He probably wasn't ready to take over yet and I'd like to see him get another year as a backup before starting. He would be the most likely on the current roster to start next year, but I think a transfer for a year would be a perfect scenario.

They have another quality freshman, Dizzy Dean, who will be good as well in a couple of years. I hope the coaching staff can convince them both to stay for several years.

Excuse me, Dizzy Dean?! He a three-pitch QB? What's his velo? Has replaced Hayden Hawk on the UCM All-Name team.

These schools not know how bad the UCM defense was this year? Not sure I would be jumping on UCM DBs in the portal.

Fair enough, but the UCO defense got smoked by Northeastern State of all people and Ferris laid a basketball score on the Chos D. The Centrals both need major defensive help.

See 6'6", 305-pound OL DeAndre Harper (Northwest Missouri) just committed to Kansas.

I have to think we had some scheme issues. There isn’t an extreme lack of talent on that side of the ball. I mean we at least have arguably the best LB in the conference. I think we could get better on the back end for sure.

That one hurts. He was gonna be a good one for us.

Zach Atkins just committed to Colorado and Deion. Hard to know what separated him from all of the other TE transfers that allowed him to pick up like 20 D1 offers.

If one of you Bearcats can tell me what made him so special, I would be fascinated to hear it. He is average TE size, did not have great production this year, and didn't even make all league first or second team.

yeh.. friggin ECU.

For all intents and purposes ECU is a JUCO. So that checks out.

My guess would be speed and measurables.

Kitchen has one from Harding as well

Mizzou landed him, according to the KC Star.
