  When Bowling Green State University's football team opened spring practice this week, a familiar face flew around the middle of the Falcons' defense. For a short stretch earlier this month, that wasn't going to be the case. But a change of heart brought back BGSU's best tackler over the past three seasons. Darren Anders, a 6-foot, 230-pound inside linebacker, withdrew his name from the transfer portal a week after entering it around Jan. 1. The Falcons' standout is excited to be finishing his career at BGSU, where he is hoping to lead his team to a Mid-American Conference title. "I got my degree, I graduated, so I was just thinking that possibly see what other options are out there," Anders said. "I think I was in the portal for six days or something, and I really just came to the decision that I didn't want to leave BG. This is the place that I want to spend my last year at, and I want to win a championship. "I don't think anything would be more sweet than winning the championship and turning this program around."

Anders' decision to return is rare in the Football Bowl Subdivision, but something the Falcons have certainly embraced. Head coach Scot Loeffler simply said "I'm jacked that Darren's back" in a recent interview with The Blade. According to the NCAA, only five percent of FBS student athletes withdrew or removed their name from the transfer portal in 2020 and 2021. Fifty-four percent reported to have enrolled at a new NCAA member school, while 41 percent were still active, may have transferred to a non-NCAA school, or may have left their sport. "To have him back on that defense, it means a lot," BGSU senior wide receiver Odieu Hiliare said. "The transfer portal, a lot of players leaving and we're bringing in new people. With him being a leader and knowing the system, he'll be able to bring guys up and tell guys what to do, so that's great having Darren back." - Toledo Blade

  Darren Anders' change of heart will be significant for Bowling Green. The three-year starting linebacker, who has racked up more than 200 total tackles the last two seasons with the Falcons, withdrew his name from the portal and will return to BGSU for the 2023 season. - Toledo Blade

  Darren Anders, one of the top tacklers the last couple of seasons not only for Bowling Green State University but in the Mid-American Conference, will be returning for the Falcons. After announcing a week ago that he was entering the transfer portal, Anders posted on Twitter on Sunday afternoon that he is withdrawing his name from the portal and playing for BGSU for his final season.

The 6-foot, 230-pound linebacker started all 30 games for BGSU the past three seasons, and he has appeared in 41 contests for the Falcons in his career. Anders, who was second in the MAC with 124 total tackles in 2021 in earning first-team all-league honors, was third for BGSU with 77 tackles in the 2022 campaign. For his career, Anders has tallied 276 total tackles (130 solo), including 19 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks. - Toledo Blade
