At first, after it was revealed by 247Sports that former University of Miami quarterback N'Kosi Perry had withdrawn his name from the NCAA Transfer Portal on Tuesday afternoon, word spread what Perry's return would mean for the Hurricanes. Would it be a huge security blanket for the Canes, whose starter D'Eriq King just began rehabilitating from reconstructive knee surgery and hopes to be ready for Alabama on Sept. 4? Or was it a bad decision, as he could still end up sitting behind King in what would be Perry's fifth year of college? Turns out it was a false alarm of sort. Yes, Perry, who entered the portal on Jan. 7, did remove himself this week - but no, he is not returning to play football at UM, according to at least two UM sources. - Miami Herald

One of the FAU Owls' top running backs from the last two seasons won't return to the program in 2021.

2020 ALL-CONFERENCE USA FOOTBALL SECOND TEAM (COACHES): DE-Leighton McCarthy, R-Sr., Florida Atlantic,...McCarthy ranks No. 1 in C-USA, and tied for fourth nationally in all of FBS, with 9.0 sacks, and also leads C-USA with 12.5 tackles for loss (16th nationally). He actually played game one at a new position, outside linebacker, and earned C-USA Defensive Player of the Week honors with a career-high 10 tackles, 4.0 of which went for loss, and 3.0 sacks (both of those latter numbers second highest by a league player in a game). Since, he has played a hybrid role, mostly on the line, but hasn't missed a beat, with at least one TFL in every game but one. That included four consecutive games with sacks, including 2.5 in a Shula Bowl win over rival FIU. - Florida Atlantic Football

12/04/20 - Andrew Boselli, rSr/2022, Florida Atlantic, 6-5, 344 (DS#999 C) + More +

Florida State offensive lineman Andrew Boselli is the latest Seminole to enter the transfer portal. Boselli, a former three-star center from Jacksonville and the son of NFL offensive line standout Tony Boselli, has appeared in three games last season and started one, FSU's 41-24 win over Jacksonville State. Boselli originally enrolled at FSU in 2016, but left the program ahead of the 2018 season after minimal playing time through his first two seasons. He returned as a walk-on in 2019 and earned his scholarship back before the season. That year, he appeared in 10 games and made two starts at center. This season, though, he was beaten out for the starting job by redshirt freshman Maurice Smith and has played very little. - Times Union
