The UConn football team added to its list of new players via the transfer portal, getting running back Jalen Mitchell from Louisville. It's an important get for the Huskies, who lost their No. 1 back of a year ago, Nathan Carter, to Michigan State through the portal. Carter, and several other running backs were lost to injuries last season, underscoring the need for depth at the position. Mitchell was Louisville's top running back in 2021, gaining 722 yards for five touchdowns, catching 12 passes for another 121 yards. But he sustained a leg injury early in 2022 and never got back in the mix, carrying only 10 times for 48 yards. During three years as a Cardinal, Mitchell, 5 feet 10 and 214 pounds, had a knack for gaining yardage after contact, and averaged 5.14 yards over 217 carries From Rockledge, Fla., Mitchell was rated a three-star running back out of high school. At UConn, he will have two years eligibility and join Victor Rosa, from Bristol Central, who will be a sophomore, Devontae Houston and Brian Brewton, among others, in competition for carries. - Hartford Courant

01/20/23 - Trey Cleveland, rSr/2025, Transfer, 6-1, 193 (DS#999 WR) + More +

North Texas continued to add experienced players to its roster heading into Eric Morris' debut season as the Mean Green's coach on Tuesday, when former Texas Tech wide receiver Trey Cleveland committed to UNT. Cleveland announced his decision on his Twitter account. Cleveland caught 22 passes for 344 yards as a junior at Texas Tech last season. He entered the portal as a graduate transfer late last week. Cleveland has two seasons of eligibility remaining. The former Arlington High standout was a three-star prospect in the Class of 2019. He committed to Texas Tech over an offer from Southern Illinois. The 6-foot-4, 190-pound former Red Raider contributed throughout his time at Texas Tech. He caught eight passes in 2020 and 11 in 2021 before breaking out last season. - Denton Record

01/19/23 - Demouy Kennedy, rSr/2025, Transfer, 6-2, 215 (DS#999 ILB) + More +

Alabama inside linebacker Demouy Kennedy entered the NCAA transfer portal on Tuesday, On3 Sports reported. Kennedy, a junior who played at Theodore High School, was the No. 39 overall-rated player in 247 Sports' composite ranking of the 2020 recruiting class. Kennedy tore his ACL during an Oct. 1 game at Arkansas and missed the remainder of the season.

The 6-foot-3, 220-pound Kennedy worked primarily on special teams in three seasons for Alabama. He appeared in 23 games, all as a reserve. Some of his playing time in 2021 came as a running back after injuries at that position thinned Alabama's depth. Undergraduate players have until Wednesday to enter the portal under the NCAA's new transfer portal window, which opened for 45 days beginning Dec. 5. It will re-open April 15-30, although players transferring as graduates can enter at any time. - Birmingham News

At Bowling Green, the addition of wideout Abdul-Fatai Ibrahim, who had two 1,000-yard receiving seasons in four years at FCS Alabama A&M, is a good start. The Falcons also got a commitment from former Arizona State offensive lineman Armon Bethea, who was the No. 5 overall prospect in New York in 2021 by 247Sports. - Toledo Blade

01/13/23 - Michael Alaimo, rSr/2025, Transfer, 6-4, 225 (DS#999 QB) + More +

Freshman Purdue QB Brady Allen put his name in the transfer portal prior to the Citrus Bowl, a decision that made sense after Texas transfer Hudson Card committed to Purdue on Dec. 26. On Jan. 9, Allen, the 2021 Indiana Mr. Football winner after leading Gibson Southern to a Class 3A state championship, was reportedly returning to Purdue with four years of eligibility remaining. One day later, Purdue quarterback Michael Alaimo, who threw his first career touchdown in the Citrus Bowl, announced he's entering the transfer portal. Alaimo was speculated to be entering the transfer portal once the Purdue football season concluded. Card is likely penciled in as the 2023 opening-day starter and Allen obviously believes he can compete for the job as well. - Lafayette Journal & Courier

01/11/23 - Isaiah Paul, rSr/2025, Transfer, 6-1, 232 (DS#999 ILB) + More +

Washington State added another transfer linebacker with veteran experience, picking up a commitment Monday from former Incarnate Word standout Isaiah Paul. Paul is the third graduate transfer linebacker to join the Cougars this offseason. Devin Richardson, who spent the past two seasons at Texas after three years at New Mexico State, signed with WSU last month. Ahmad McCullough pledged to the Cougars' program last week after a five-year stay at Maryland.

The 6-foot-2, 230-pound Paul recorded 137 tackles and 20 1/2 tackles for loss over the past four seasons at UIW, an FCS program in San Antonio. He also notched three sacks, forced two fumbles, recovered two fumbles, broke up five passes and logged one interception during his Cardinals career. Paul has two seasons of eligibility remaining. - Spokesman-Review

01/08/23 - Ahmad McCullough, rSr/2025, Transfer, 6-1, 223 (DS#999 OLB) + More +

Ahmad McCullough, a linebacker who spent the last five years at the University of Maryland, announced Saturday via Twitter that he will be transferring to Washington State for his final season of eligibility. McCullough appeared in 33 games, starting seven, during his time with the Terrapins. The 6-foot-2, 225-pounder made two starts this past season, rotating frequently off the bench, and totaled 45 tackles with three tackles for loss, one sack and two fumble recoveries across 12 games. He entered the transfer portal on Dec. 1, missing Maryland's win over NC State in the Duke's Mayo Bowl.

McCullough played in 12 games as a junior in 2021 and appeared in all five games during the coronavirus-affected 2020 season. He saw the field in one game in 2019 after taking a redshirt during his first season at Maryland. McCullough, who prepped at Mount Saint Joseph in Baltimore, finished his Terrapin career with 89 tackles and 5 1/2 for loss. He pledged to the Cougars over offers from Baylor and Arizona State. McCullough had also drawn recruiting interest from Auburn. - Spokesman-Review

01/08/23 - Ky Thomas, rSr/2026, Transfer, 5-11, 200 (DS#999 RB) + More +

The Kansas football team will be without transfer running back Ky Thomas next season. Thomas, a native of Topeka who played sparingly during the 2022 season because of injuries but held a key role in KU's Liberty Bowl appearance last month, announced Tuesday night that he was entering the transfer portal. Wherever the redshirt sophomore running back lands in the coming weeks will be his third school since graduating from Topeka High in 2020. Because of his COVID year, he will have three years of eligibility remaining at his new destination. He redshirted the 2020 season at Minnesota before playing for the Gophers in 2021 and playing at Kansas this season.

Thomas' slow start was due in large part to the strong play of fellow-KU backs Devin Neal and Daniel Hishaw. Thomas carried the ball just 11 times for 25 yards in the first three weeks and then missed two weeks with injury before returning in Week 6 and receiving 42 carries the rest of the way. That included 11 touches and two touchdowns in KU's wild, triple-overtime loss to Arkansas in Memphis in late-December. What initially looked like an important pick-up at a position of need quickly turned into a situation where Thomas was fighting for playing time in a crowded running back room. - Lawrence Journal World

Mississippi State football landed a transfer commitment from LSU cornerback Ray'Darious Jones on Monday, according to Jones' Twitter page. "Raydar" had been on the Bulldogs' radar to fill a hole in the secondary. MSU is losing cornerback Emmanuel Forbes to the NFL draft in addition to the departures of all three starting safeties - Collin Duncan, Jalen Green and Jackie Matthews. Jones, a former four-star recruit from Horn Lake, was suspended for all of the 2022 season - his redshirt junior year - because of academic issues. He appeared in nine games as a redshirt sophomore in 2021 and played in three games the prior season and four in 2019. Jones took part in the 2020 game between LSU and Mississippi State in Baton Rouge. - The Dispatch
