  07/19/22 - Joey YellenrSr/2025, Transfer, 6-3, 210 (DS#999 QB) + More +

  In eight days, the University of Hawaii football team will open training camp with an open competition at quarterback. Head coach Timmy Chang and offensive coordinator Ian Shoemaker will wait until at least two weeks of practices before setting a depth chart at the signal-calling position. The Rainbow Warriors are seeking a replacement for Chevan Cordeiro, a two-time captain who transferred to San Jose State after the 2021 season. The Warriors listed six quarterbacks on their tentative training camp roster: Brayden Schager, Cammon Cooper, Joey Yellen, Jake Farrell, Connor Apo and Armani Edden. Chad Owens Jr., whose father was a standout UH slotback who enjoyed a lengthy pro career, appears to be moving to receiver.

As a true freshman in 2021, Schager was 2-1 as a starter in place of an injured Cordeiro. He directed the first series in the spring game in April. Cooper transferred from Washington State in January. Yellen joined the Warriors this summer after transferring from Pittsburgh, where he was the top understudy to Kenny Pickett, a 2022 NFL first-round pick. "Joey and Cam have a chance to compete (for the starter's job)," Chang said of the extended evaluation period. "We've got to give them that shot." - Honolulu Advertiser

  07/12/22 - Shane IllingworthrSr/2025, Transfer, 6-6, 233 (DS#999 QB) + More +

  Nevada historically has relied on an effective passing game, but last year's starting quarterback, Carson Strong, now is an undrafted free agent with the Philadelphia Eagles. Oklahoma State transfer Shane Illingworth is the most likely replacement. How effective will Illingworth be for the Wolf Pack? The ex-Oklahoma State backup was a four-star recruit coming out of high school and had plenty of Power Five offers. He didn't see the field much in Stillwater, Okla., aside from a start against Missouri State when the usual starter was in COVID-19 protocols. He'll have a tall task with an inexperienced offense around him. - The Gazette

  06/30/22 - Demarkcus BowmanrSr/2025, Transfer, 5-10, 193 (DS#999 RB) + More +

  Demarkcus Bowman is verified fast. The former Florida Gators running back posted sub-4.5-second speed in the 40-yard dash in the past and finished in 2nd place in the 2019 Florida 4A 100-meter event with a time of 11.01 - less than a second off Olympic qualifying time. That's why, three years since the state track meet, Bowman's speed is an impactful addition to UCF's running back room. He joins a running back room that features fifth-year senior Isaiah Bowser, junior Johnny Richardson, redshirt juniors Mark-Antony Richards and RJ Harvey, redshirt senior Trillion Coles and freshman Jordan McDonald.

With Bowser and Coles out of eligibility following this season, Bowman will have an opportunity to compete for the starting job as the Knights transition to the Big 12 Conference in 2023. Because he's transferred once before, UCF's inaugural year in the Power Five league coincides with when Bowman could first see the field in Orlando, unless he applies for a waiver from the NCAA for this season. What's most intriguing about Bowman is his potential. The 5-foot-9, 192-pound speedster has barely had the chance to use his elite speed in college. At Clemson as a freshman in 2020, Bowman only appeared in two games before deciding to enter the NCAA transfer portal for the first time in October that year. - Orlando Sentinel

  06/29/22 - Demarkcus BowmanrSr/2025, Transfer, 5-10, 193 (DS#999 RB) + More +

  Former Florida Gators running back Demarkcus Bowman is transferring to UCF, he announced on social media Monday. "Orlando vs. everybody," Bowman wrote on Twitter, tagging UCF coach Gus Malzahn among others in his announcement. Bowman is the second ex-Gator to head to the Orlando school this offseason joining tight end Kemore Gamble. This past season in Gainesville, Bowman saw action in five games, four of which he served as a reserve running back while rushing 14 times for 81 yards.

Prior to Florida, Bowman spent his freshman season at Clemson in 2020. Taking a redshirt, the 5-foot-9, 192-pound running back appeared in two games before transferring to Florida. Because he's transferred once before, Bowman will have to sit a season at UCF before seeing the field, unless he receives a waiver from the NCAA. UCF is his third school in two years. Regardless, the redshirt sophomore will have at least four years of eligibility remaining thanks to an extra year granted to athletes from the NCAA due to the COVID-19 pandemic. - Orlando Sentinel

  06/27/22 - Demarkcus BowmanrSr/2025, Transfer, 5-10, 193 (DS#999 RB) + More +

  The Gators' backfield took a hit Friday with Demarkcus Bowman's decision to transfer from the Florida football program, a source confirmed to The Gainesville Sun. Bowman is the fourth UF player to exit the program within the last week, following the departures of Mordecai McDaniel, Fenley Graham and Chris Thomas Jr. Bowman seemingly confirmed his imminent departure on social media, saying "I love the Ville", followed by a sad face emoji, on his Twitter account.

It's not Bowman's first time seeking out a new college destination. A former standout at Lakeland High, Bowman initially signed with Clemson University as a five-star prospect before opting to transfer after the 2020 season. During his first season with the program, Bowman found himself behind Dameon Pierce, Malik Davis and Nay'Quan Wright on Florida's depth chart, resulting in just four appearances during the 2021 campaign. He finished the season with just 14 carries for 81 yards, though Bowman was expected to compete for a larger role during coach Billy Napier's inaugural season with the program. - Gainesville Sun

  Tuesday was reporting day for summer football workouts at South Alabama, and the Jaguars added seven Division I transfers. Among the newcomers is defensive end Nathan Rawlins-Kibonge, an Oklahoma transfer with four seasons of eligibility remaining. Rawlins-Kibonge, originally from Portland, Ore., was rated a four-star prospect in the 2021 recruiting class. The 6-foot-6, 256-pound Rawlins-Kibonge did not see any game action at Oklahoma last season before entering the NCAA transfer portal at the end of April. He was a two-sport star at Jefferson High School in Portland, where he also excelled in basketball.

Also officially joining the Jaguars, but not previously announced publicly, are offensive tackle PJ Mixon (Jacksonville State) and kicker Jacob Meeks (Texas Tech). Mixon, originally from Montgomery, and Meeks both have one season of eligibility remaining. Rawlins-Kibonge, Mixon and Meeks join a group that also includes running backs Omni Wells (Mississippi State) and Marco Lee (Virginia Tech), offensive guard James Robinson (Tennessee) and safety Marvin Martin (Kansas State). All are expected to enroll in summer school classes and begin practice when the Jaguars open fall camp in early August. - Birmingham News

  05/29/22 - Tim LawsonrSr/2026, Transfer, 6-4, 290 (DS#999 OG) + More +

  Marshall football head coach Charles Huff continues to utilize the transfer portal for one of the key areas of need on the offensive side of the ball, adding a second former Power Five lineman to the mix Thursday. Tim Lawson, who spent the last two seasons with the Louisville Cardinals, announced his commitment to the Thundering Herd on social media Thursday morning. Lawson adds to a running list of transfer portal pickups for Marshall and is the second offensive lineman to transfer from a Power Five program after ex-Rutgers big man Cedrice Paillant, who committed in mid-April.

For Lawson, the decision was easy, but multiple factors played in to his decision, including good first impressions by the coaching staff, Marshall's proven ability to produce NFL-caliber offensive linemen and familiarity with the offensive scheme. Listed at 6-foot-6 and weighing 305 pounds, Lawson adds a good deal of size to the offensive line and said he believes his experience at Louisville will translate well in Huntington. "I'm used to the game now. I'm used to college football," Lawson said. "I had my times where I seen how fast the game moves, and pretty much the same way how the offense is here, they pretty much run there at Marshall." A native of Fort Washington, Maryland, Lawson committed to Louisville after graduating from the National Christian Academy and spent two seasons with the Cardinals without appearing in any games. - Charleston Gazette

  05/28/22 - Joey YellenrSr/2025, Transfer, 6-3, 210 (DS#999 QB) + More +

  The University of Hawaii football team is scheduled to appear four times on national television this season. The Week Zero season opener on Aug. 27 between UH and Vanderbilt will be shown on the CBS Sports Network. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. at the Ching Complex. CBS Sports Network also will air the Rainbow Warriors' Oct. 8 road game against San Diego State at the new Snapdragon Stadium. That telecast will begin at 4:30 p.m. Fox Sports Network will show the Warriors' road game against Fresno State on Nov. 5. No kickoff time has been announced.

The Warriors' Sept. 10 game against Michigan at the Big House will be televised on the Big Ten Network. That game will start at 2 p.m. FloSports, which owns the video streaming rights to New Mexico State's football games, is expected to pick up the Sept. 24 meeting in Las Cruces, N.M. That leaves seven UH games available to Spectrum Sports, which produces the pay-per-view telecasts. - Honolulu Advertiser

  Another day, another player transfers to SMU. Tulane DB Kevaris Hall announced his transfer to SMU on Tuesday after two uneventful years away from his home state. "I'm Back Where I Belong" The former three-star recruit and Red Oak standout had 1 interception and 8 tackles in his two years with the Green Wave and only played in one game for them last season. SMU has been very active in the transfer portal, adding seven transfer commitments during the beginning of May. Overall, they have added 15 commits and its transfer class ranks 16th in the country according to 247Sports rankings. - Dallas Morning News

  05/26/22 - James RobinsonrSr/2025, Transfer, 6-5, 325 (DS#999 OG) + More +

  Former Tennessee offensive guard James Robinson is moving to South Alabama a Division I transfer. Robinson, originally from Montgomery, has three seasons of eligibility remaining. He played in all 13 games - primarily on special teams - for the Volunteers in 2021 after redshirting as a true freshman. The 6-foot-4, 340-pound Robinson was rated a 3-star prospect in the 2020 recruiting class. He was a first-team Class 6A All-State pick as a senior at Carver High School in 2019. Robinson is the fourth Power 5 transfer to commit to the Jaguars in the current cycle, joining running backs Omni Wells (Mississippi State) and Marco Lee (Virginia Tech) and safety Marvin Martin (Kansas State). South Alabama is expected to add a half-dozen or so more by the time summer workouts begin in June. - Birmingham News

  05/24/22 - Kamarro EdmondsrSr/2026, Transfer, 5-11, 220 (DS#999 RB) + More +

  Just three weeks ago, UNC football player Kamarro Edmonds elected to enter the transfer portal. The announcement was rather surprising, given that the UNC football program had recently wrapped up its set of spring practices. After having what was reported as a good spring camp, it seemed as if Edmonds was set to make an impact in the Tar Heels backfield this season. However, Edmonds decided it was time to move on, and has officially found a new home.

Edmonds announced that he has committed to continue his academic and athletic career at East Carolina University. The former four-star recruit will now look to make his mark in the Pirates backfield for head coach Mike Houston. We don't know exactly why he decided to transfer, and of course, we don't wish to speculate. However, it could have something to do with the Tar Heels running back depth, as it will be tough for all the talented players to see the field as much as they would like to. - Keeping It Heel.com

  Poised for a 2022 standout season: TE Fred Seabrough, a freshman, emerged as a target for QB Devin Leary as Wolfpack coach Dave Doeren limited reps for older starters. Seabrough caught three passes for 38 yards in the spring game and could be an option this fall. - AP College Football

  05/16/22 - Rodney Groce Jr.rSr/2025, Transfer, 6-0, 220 (DS#999 ILB) + More +

  Six months after he announced his transfer to Arizona State, linebacker Rodney Groce is on the move again. Groce entered his name in the NCAA Transfer Portal on Sunday. Groce is a former three-star recruit who hails from Pleasant Grove, Alabama. He ranked as the No. 519 overall prospect and the 35th best linebacker in the 2020 class according to On3 Consensus. Despite this, he failed to make an impression in his first two years, appearing in just one game without recording any stats. This prompted him to enter the portal, and on Dec. 6 he announced that he would join Arizona State. Apparently that didn't work out the way he planned, and he is set to join his third school in as many years. - On3.com

  05/14/22 - Chase LockerSo/2025, Transfer, 6-3, 195 (DS#999 WR) + More +

  The University of Wyoming landed its second Power Five transfer in the past two weeks Thursday, as former USC wide receiver Chase Locke announced his decision to join the Cowboys. Locke joins Alabama defensive end Keelan Cox, who committed shortly after the spring game April 30, as the Pokes' most recent high-profile additions. Locke did not see the field in his three years at USC, but he enjoyed a successful high school career while playing in the two highest classifications in Texas.

The San Antonio product earned second-team All-District 26-5A honors as a junior in 2017 after catching 52 passes for 659 yards and seven touchdowns at Boerne Champion. He followed that up with first-team All-District 28-6A honors in 2018, as he hauled in 36 catches for 672 yards and eight touchdowns, while helping lead San Antonio O'Connor to an undefeated regular season. - Wyoming Tribune Eagle
