01/19/23 - Demouy Kennedy, rSr/2025, Transfer + 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 - Zavier Carter, Sr/2025, Transfer + More +

LSU sophomore edge rusher Zavier Carter entered the NCAA transfer portal Thursday, according to multiple reports. Carter would have competed to replace BJ Ojulari as the starting Jack linebacker after appearing in 11 games. He made his first career sack in the Citrus Bowl. A four-star recruit from Atlanta, Carter played in 18 games over two seasons. He recorded nine tackles, one pass breakup and one forced fumble. He has two years of eligibility. Both of Ojulari's backups this season, Carter and redshirt junior Desmond Little, have entered the transfer portal. The Tigers brought in Oregon transfer Bradyn Swinson and five-star Da'Shawn Womack at the position. - Baton Rouge Advocate

01/13/23 - Michael Alaimo, rSr/2025, Transfer + 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 - D.J. Taylor, rSr/2026, Transfer + More +

On the first day new Bearcats coach Scott Satterfield's recruiting department was announced, the new staffers raided the Valley of the Sun for a pair of transfers, bringing the number of former Arizona State Sun Devils on the roster to three. Quarterback Emory Jones, who played one year in Tempe and was previously was a Florida Gator, was already here. By Monday afternoon, teammates Carter Brown and D.J. Taylor had joined him.

A 5-foot-10 cornerback from Tampa Catholic High in Florida, he has been at Arizona State three seasons and is a redshirt junior. His specialty has been returning kicks as he's averaged 24.5 yards over his three years. That includes a 100-yard return for a touchdown his freshman year. He also has averaged 9.1 yards on punt returns. Defensively, he had 16 tackles this past season and one tackle for loss. - Cincinnati Enquirer

01/11/23 - Isaiah Paul, rSr/2025, Transfer + 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

01/09/23 - Keyshawn Cobb, rSr/2026, Transfer + More +

West Virginia added a pair of commitments from transfers Sunday to bolster their defense. Defensive lineman Davoan Hawkins from Tennessee State and safety Keyshawn Cobb from Buffalo both announced their commitments to the Mountaineers via social media. Cobb's commitment came first. The 6-foot, 200-pound Atlanta native had 67 tackles last fall as a junior for the Bulls, as well as 1.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, seven passes defended and an interception returned 26 yards for a touchdown. Cobb tweeted Dec. 19 that he was entering the transfer portal and on Dec. 21 tweeted he received an offer from WVU.

01/09/23 - Chris Keys Jr., rSr/2026, Transfer + More +

Mississippi State football has put an emphasis on defensive backs in the transfer portal, and it's proving worthwhile so far. The latest addition: Indiana transfer Christopher Keys who committed to MSU on Sunday. Keys is the third transfer portal addition for MSU since the end of the regular season. He joins defensive backs Khamauri Rogers (Miami) and Ray'Darious Jones (LSU). Like Rogers and Jones, Keys is returning to his native state.

Keys is a Collins, Mississippi, native who was a three-star prospect out of Collins High School in the 2020 recruiting class, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. Keys spent the last three seasons at Indiana, where he appeared in 14 games with two starts. He redshirted his freshman season in 2020, though he did participate in three games, including an Outback Bowl loss against Ole Miss. Keys appeared in two games in 2021, but his year was cut short by a season-ending injury. - The Clarion Ledger

01/08/23 - Ahmad McCullough, rSr/2025, Transfer + 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 - CJ Montes, rSr/2026, Transfer + More +

University of New Mexico quarterback CJ Montes has entered the transfer portal. The rising sophomore from Pasadena, California, made the announcement Wednesday on Twitter. "Thank you to the University of New Mexico & the coaching staff for the opportunity to compete @ the highest level academically & athletically," Montes posted. "Thank you to all the fans for the love & support. Everything being said, I am entering the transfer portal with 3 years of eligibility."

Montes played in only three games as a freshman in 2021, retaining his redshirt status for that season. In his two seasons at UNM, Montes played in seven games and completed 37 of 84 passes with three interceptions and no touchdowns. His departure leaves the team with two returning scholarship quarterbacks, juniors Justin Holaday and Isaiah Chavez. - Albuquerque Journal

01/08/23 - Ky Thomas, rSr/2026, Transfer + 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
