Navy inside linebacker Tama Tuitele has entered the NCAA transfer portal, according to a published report. Rivals.com reported via its NCAA Transfer Portal Twitter feed that Tuitele, a junior who played in 14 career games for the Midshipmen, was considering a transfer. Navy athletics spokesman Scott Strasemeier declined to comment on the report, stating that Tuitele remains on the football roster. Tuitele, like all juniors, is due to sign the two-for-seven papers binding midshipmen to two more years at the Naval Academy and five years of military service. Tuitele can leave the academy with no repercussions before signing those papers before classes start for the fall semester. Tuitele's career at Navy has been beset by injuries. The Colorado native started four of six games as a freshman before suffering a season-ending injury against South Florida. He totaled 19 tackles that season and led the team with five solo stops against Memphis. - Capital Times
