Portal Movement in the NSIC

The brass is always shinier at D1…

I just hope he doesn't get lost in the DakotaDome. I feel like I had to pass through the 4th dimension twice, backwards and uphill just to get from one side of the place to the other!

Quite the building.

My son's band-mate, who was also a member of the USF pep band is transferring to USD in January. But I don't think that counts. lol

Heard the punter is in the portal. FWIW.

In conversation with an agent, it’s suggested by the agent to get your name out there for all levels….CFL, XFL, etc and for remaining bowl games.
At least they are trying and working at a goal.

I guess so. And like SW_Mustang said, I guess their is nothing inherently wrong with doing so. Just feels a little “look at me” for some social media notoriety. No offense to either of those players from Northern that “declared”, but I don’t think they are NFL draft caliber guys. Hope they prove me wrong. Love NSIC guys in the league.

Yes....we've noticed this trend since COVID...."declaring".which to most people would imply you are foregoing your final year to head into the draft. It feels like it's being done as a celebratory moment for the player as their college career ends and they hope that due to the success of it....they get a shot in the league.

Noticed it with an MSU guy last year, who was not drafted and besides a rookie camp invite was of no interest to the NFL.

I guess there is nothing inherently "wrong" with it, but I think it's a little awkward.

Yes, actually. That's a good analogy haha.

Not sure why D2 guys feel the need to announce they are "in the draft." Seems like a relatively new thing too. IMO, not that anyone pays that close of attention, but it looks awkward to declare for the draft, then not get drafted.

I too haven't heard of any portal movement at USF. Although most of my info comes from this site, so it's not like I have any inside information that anyone else doesn't have.

Saw Ian Marshall “declared” for the draft as well.

Is this like when Michael Scott declared bankruptcy? Can I declare for the draft too?

Your post made me lol. Thank you

Not a transfer, but NSU's Jake Oliphant declared for the NFL draft

Hopefully not jinxing anything but I haven't heard any USF players hitting the portal. Which is a good thing after last years mass exodus.

SMSU Outbound w/offers:

Shawn Martinez OL - Pitt State, Notre Dame College, Central Missouri

DI offers now coming in for Martinez with East Tennessee and East Kentucky. Also offered by Davenport.

I think I say every time that I don't really care where these guys land and probably shouldn't spend the time I do looking at their offers, but I am also a little curious to see where these folks go.
