Northwestern offensive tackle Rashawn Slater is opting out of the 2020 season and will declare for the 2021 NFL draft. In light of the Big Ten postponing its football season to the spring, Slater chose to forgo his senior season after discussing the matter with coach Pat Fitzgerald, according to Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports. Slater officially announced his decision Thursday afternoon on social media and thanked his coaches and teammates. "I'm so glad I found my home at Northwestern and will always cherish my time here and the relationships I've been blessed to be part of that I know will carry on," Slater said. "My experience was everything I dreamed of and more. I'm a Wildcat for life." After starting 37 games for the Wildcats at both left and right tackle, Slater leaves Evanston as one of the best offensive lineman in program history. - Daily Northwestern

The Bowling Green State University Department of Athletics has approved the return of Falcons' football players to campus beginning June 22, the school announced Friday. The Bowling Green coaching staff will return to campus in a limited capacity on Monday, a week ahead of the student-athletes. The return of football players is part of the phased-in approach for Bowling Green students, faculty, and staff members and once the first-phase of off-campus football players' return to campus is successful, the school will move on to the next phases. - Toledo Blade

05/29/20 - Peyton Ramsey, rSr/2021, Northwestern, 6-2, 215 (DS#15 QB) + More +

After announcing his transfer to Northwestern in March, Ramsey sent a text to every player on the offensive side of the ball to introduce himself. Since then, he has worked out in Cincinnati, including sessions with junior quarterback Andrew Marty and junior tight end Trey Pugh. Every Thursday, Ramsey participates in Zoom meetings led by the quarterbacks. The players go over signals and break into position groups, but they also catch up with each other. "(Relationships) have been the hardest part of all this," Ramsey said. "Not learning the playbook or anything like that."

The quarterback still has 99 days before Northwestern's scheduled start to the 2020 season and the season opener at Michigan State. He still has time to acclimate himself to the new environment, but Ramsey transferred to Northwestern intending to start from the jump. A three-year starter at Indiana, Ramsey threw for 2,454 yards last season, completing 68 percent of his passes. He was named honorable mention on the postseason all-Big Ten team. He brings a track record of success to a Northwestern team whose quarterbacks threw for just 1,404 yards and six touchdowns combined last season. "He fits Northwestern's profile," Bajakian said. "He's tough, smart, athletic, and he's played a lot of football and won a lot of football games. (He) did a good job at Indiana, had been the starter for all or parts of three seasons, so he's a guy that can that can come in here and compete right away and make an immediate impact." - The Daily Northwestern

04/05/20 - John Raine, Sr/2021, Northwestern, 6-1, 231 (DS#6 FB) + More +

FAU's tight end contingent has taken another big loss. John Raine announced on social media that he's entered the transfer portal as a graduate transfer. He recorded 38 receptions for 343 yards and six touchdowns last year en route to the Owls winning the 2019 Conference USA title and 2019 Boca Raton Bowl. "I am thankful for everything, FAU," Raine tweeted on Saturday. "Excited for the next chapter!"

Raine's departure leaves a significant hole in FAU's tight end unit for the 2020 season with the Owls having zero career receptions returning at the position next year. Harrison Bryant, who became the first FAU football player in program history to be a unanimous All-American after leading all FBS tight ends in receptions (65) and yards (1,004), while scoring seven touchdowns last year, used his final season of eligibility in 2019 and has his sights set on the NFL. The Owls have three tight ends on their official roster and received a commitment from one in February that should be able to contribute immediately. Redshirt junior Logan Peterson, and redshirt freshmen Ryan Cameron and Rahmod Smith are expected to return to FAU next season. - Sun-Sentinel

Northwestern wasn't the only team that contacted Ramsey the day he entered the transfer portal. Former Michigan State head coach Mark Dantonio called Doug Ramsey the week before Dantonio retired. Ramsey also heard from several other Big Ten schools, multiple ACC schools and Washington. But Northwestern left a great first impression. In early February, Bajakian and wide receivers coach Dennis Springer visited Ramsey in Bloomington, Indiana. "Honestly, that was one of the main reasons that I felt so strongly about them and wanted to visit them before I went anywhere else," Ramsey said. Other college football coaches visited Ramsey in Bloomington. But Ramsey scheduled his first visit to Northwestern on March 7, and it wound up being his only visit. - The Daily Northwestern

As a graduate transfer, Ramsey will be eligible to play this fall. He has one season of eligibility remaining. - The Chicago Tribune

Nearly every week last season, the drill was the same for Bowling Green running back Andrew Clair. Clair almost always was in full pads with his helmet, but he spent most practices on the sidelines and went into most games knowing he wouldn't play. A chronic foot injury kept Clair to just four games - allowing him to redshirt last season - and for the first time, Clair was watching and not playing, including missing out on BG's 20-7 victory against Toledo. "That was the hardest one," Clair said. "Pregame before the Toledo game, I was in the locker room crying because I wasn't playing. "Since I was 6 years old, that was the first year I ever missed out." When he's healthy, Clair is among the top offensive players in the Mid-American Conference - and the good news for Bowling Green is that Clair feels like himself again. - Toledo Blade

Indiana quarterback Peyton Ramsey has entered his name in the transfer portal, a source confirmed Monday. This is a significant but not unexpected development for the Hoosiers’ quarterback room. Ramsey, the redshirt junior, lost his starting job to redshirt freshman Michael Penix Jr. in the preseason, though he proved to be an invaluable backup throughout the 2019 season and ended up totaling 2,454 yards and 13 touchdowns passing in relief. If he had stayed at IU for the 2020 season, Ramsey could have very well found himself backing up Penix. Instead, the 6-foot-2, 216-pounder can search for a situation where he is more likely to be the starter in his final collegiate season.

Ramsey’s spectacular play in 2019 just adds to a sense of loss. Despite multiple injuries to Penix, the Hoosiers were able to finish the season with the No. 2 pass offense in the Big Ten. Ramsey’s production was especially vital in road wins at Maryland and Nebraska, as well as the season finale at Purdue where he scored the game-winning touchdown in double overtime. On the year, the Hoosiers’ backup surpassed 300 yards passing three times, including a career-high 371 yards at Penn State. Along with his passing production, he was also a daring scrambler, amassing 252 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground. - Indy Star
