05/09/22 - R.J. Adams, rJr/2025, Memphis + More +

Georgia Tech picked up an offensive lineman through the transfer portal as former Kentucky lineman R.J. Adams announced his commitment Saturday. Adams matches the profile of several players who have aligned with Tech out of the transfer market this offseason - players who were highly-rated as high-school prospects who have yet to play significantly at the college level. From Woodbridge, Va., Adams was the No. 460 prospect in the 2020 class, the No. 23 guard nationally and a three-star prospect, according to 247Sports Composite. He was rated a four-star prospect by Rivals and ESPN. - Atlanta Journal Constitution

05/09/22 - Andrew Mason, rJr/2025, Memphis + More +

Memphis football continued to mine the transfer portal by adding another receiver to a deep room. Andrew Mason, who was at Rice the past two seasons, announced Friday on Twitter that he had committed to the Tigers. He's the fourth player to commit to Memphis since spring practice ended. Mason, who attended Ravenwood High School in Brentwood, Tennessee, caught seven passes for 86 yards in two seasons for Rice. The 5-foot-10 sophomore has three years of eligibility remaining and was a three-star recruit in 2020. The Tigers have also added defensive lineman Kamren Washington, defensive end CorMontae Hamilton and defensive back Davion Ross through the portal. All four players are expected to enroll for preseason practice. - Memphis Commercial Appeal

05/06/22 - Davion Ross, rSr/2025, Memphis + More +

Memphis football added to its secondary with a commitment from Eastern Kentucky defensive back Davion Ross. Ross made his announcement on Monday via Twitter. The junior entered the transfer portal on April 26. As a sophomore cornerback last season, Ross played in 11 games with nine starts. He was named the ASUN Conference Defensive Player of the Year and tied for the national lead among FBS and FCS players with three interceptions returned for touchdowns. Ross also had 46 tackles with a fumble recovery and 13 pass breakups. The 5-foot-10 Georgia native switched from wide receiver to defensive back before the 2020 season and started eight games. He had a 94-yard kickoff return touchdown in the Opportunity Bowl that season and averaged 27.5 yards per kickoff return last season. - Memphis Commercial Appeal

05/06/22 - Quindell Johnson, rSr/2023, Memphis + More +

The University of Memphis is staying in virtual lockstep with the warp speed evolution of the collegiate athletics landscape in Tennessee. On April 20, Gov. Bill Lee signed an amendment aimed at further loosening NIL restrictions on colleges and universities. It clears the way for coaches - and all school employees - to attend NIL events, fundraise for NIL collectives and for NIL representatives to make presentations on campus to recruits and players.

In other words, NIL dealings between supporters, coaches and athletes must no longer be strictly confined to a third-party medium. On Tuesday, the Memphis athletics department announced the launch of its official NIL marketplace, which will be powered by the school's current partner, Opendorse, an NIL readiness company. Touted as a more streamlined avenue for fans, donors, brands and sponsors to browse, book, pitch and pay Tigers athletes for NIL activities, Memphis is one of the first schools in the country to offer a program of this kind. - Memphis Commercial Appeal

05/03/22 - Chris Howard, rSr/2023, Memphis + More +

Florida kicker Chris Howard will enter his name into the NCAA's transfer portal, the fifth-year senior announced Monday on social media. Howard arrived at Florida as a walk-on prior to the 2017 season, though he didn't see the field in either of his first two seasons, and he made just five appearances between his redshirt sophomore and redshirt junior seasons with the Gators program.

During the 2021 season, Howard appeared in nine games with the Gators while splitting time with transfer Jace Christmann. Howard converted 7-of-9 field goal attempts while nailing all four of his extra-point attempts, and he was expected to compete for the role of the team's starting kicker under new UF coach Billy Napier. But in Florida's Orange and Blue game on April 14, Howard missed a 32-yard field-goal attempt in the first half, while walk-on kicker Adam Mihalek converted a 52-yard attempt, followed by a successful 49-yard conversion. - Gainesville Sun

04/28/22 - Cormontae Hamilton, rSr/2025, Memphis + More +

Memphis added another transfer Monday with a local connection in former Ohio State defensive end CorMontae Hamilton. Hamilton, who announced his decision on Twitter, was a former three-star recruit as a tight end at Whitehaven High School. He signed with Ohio State in 2019 after earning a scholarship following a solo Greyhound bus trip from Memphis to attend a Buckeyes football camp in June 2018. Per Hamilton's post, he has three years of eligibility remaining and will be a junior this season. He appeared in 13 games over two seasons and entered the transfer portal in February. He's also the second defensive linemen the Tigers added after the spring game. Former Sam Houston lineman Kamren Washington, the reigning WAC Freshman of the Year, committed on Sunday. - Memphis Commercial Appeal
