Ahmad McCullough, a linebacker who spent the last five years at the University of Maryland, announced Saturday via Twitter that he will be transferring to Washington State for his final season of eligibility. McCullough appeared in 33 games, starting seven, during his time with the Terrapins. The 6-foot-2, 225-pounder made two starts this past season, rotating frequently off the bench, and totaled 45 tackles with three tackles for loss, one sack and two fumble recoveries across 12 games. He entered the transfer portal on Dec. 1, missing Maryland's win over NC State in the Duke's Mayo Bowl.

McCullough played in 12 games as a junior in 2021 and appeared in all five games during the coronavirus-affected 2020 season. He saw the field in one game in 2019 after taking a redshirt during his first season at Maryland. McCullough, who prepped at Mount Saint Joseph in Baltimore, finished his Terrapin career with 89 tackles and 5 1/2 for loss. He pledged to the Cougars over offers from Baylor and Arizona State. McCullough had also drawn recruiting interest from Auburn. - Spokesman-Review

01/08/23 - CJ Montes, rSr/2026, Transfer, 6-2, 205 (DS#999 QB) + More +

University of New Mexico quarterback CJ Montes has entered the transfer portal. The rising sophomore from Pasadena, California, made the announcement Wednesday on Twitter. "Thank you to the University of New Mexico & the coaching staff for the opportunity to compete @ the highest level academically & athletically," Montes posted. "Thank you to all the fans for the love & support. Everything being said, I am entering the transfer portal with 3 years of eligibility."

Montes played in only three games as a freshman in 2021, retaining his redshirt status for that season. In his two seasons at UNM, Montes played in seven games and completed 37 of 84 passes with three interceptions and no touchdowns. His departure leaves the team with two returning scholarship quarterbacks, juniors Justin Holaday and Isaiah Chavez. - Albuquerque Journal

01/08/23 - Ky Thomas, rSr/2026, Transfer, 5-11, 200 (DS#999 RB) + More +

The Kansas football team will be without transfer running back Ky Thomas next season. Thomas, a native of Topeka who played sparingly during the 2022 season because of injuries but held a key role in KU's Liberty Bowl appearance last month, announced Tuesday night that he was entering the transfer portal. Wherever the redshirt sophomore running back lands in the coming weeks will be his third school since graduating from Topeka High in 2020. Because of his COVID year, he will have three years of eligibility remaining at his new destination. He redshirted the 2020 season at Minnesota before playing for the Gophers in 2021 and playing at Kansas this season.

Thomas' slow start was due in large part to the strong play of fellow-KU backs Devin Neal and Daniel Hishaw. Thomas carried the ball just 11 times for 25 yards in the first three weeks and then missed two weeks with injury before returning in Week 6 and receiving 42 carries the rest of the way. That included 11 touches and two touchdowns in KU's wild, triple-overtime loss to Arkansas in Memphis in late-December. What initially looked like an important pick-up at a position of need quickly turned into a situation where Thomas was fighting for playing time in a crowded running back room. - Lawrence Journal World

12/14/22 - Raydarious Jones, rSr/2026, Transfer, 6-1, 180 (DS#999 CB) + More +

Mississippi State football landed a transfer commitment from LSU cornerback Ray'Darious Jones on Monday, according to Jones' Twitter page. "Raydar" had been on the Bulldogs' radar to fill a hole in the secondary. MSU is losing cornerback Emmanuel Forbes to the NFL draft in addition to the departures of all three starting safeties - Collin Duncan, Jalen Green and Jackie Matthews. Jones, a former four-star recruit from Horn Lake, was suspended for all of the 2022 season - his redshirt junior year - because of academic issues. He appeared in nine games as a redshirt sophomore in 2021 and played in three games the prior season and four in 2019. Jones took part in the 2020 game between LSU and Mississippi State in Baton Rouge. - The Dispatch

12/02/22 - Avantae Williams, rSr/2025, Transfer, 5-11, 198 (DS#999 SS) + More +

Another Miami Hurricane is headed into the transfer portal and this time it's a player who once seemed to be on a star trajectory. After falling out of favor and seeing a shrunken role as a sophomore, Avantae Williams is transferring from Miami, he announced on Twitter. Williams had a tumultous career with the Hurricanes - including a health issue, a domestic-violence accusation and, ultimately, an impressive freshman season in 2021 - and is now planning to head elsewhere to wrap up his college career. The safety will have three years of eligibility left after a medical issue kept him off the field for the entire 2020 season.

Williams is the seventh Miami to announce his intentions to transfer this month and the fourth defensive back. The others so far are running back Thaddius Franklin Jr., defensive lineman Allan Haye and Elijah Roberts, and defensive backs Gilbert Frierson, Jalen Harrell and Keshawn Washington. Williams is also maybe the Hurricanes' highest profile entrant so far. The 6-foot, 198-pound defensive back was Miami's top-ranked addition in the Class of 2020, according to the 247Sports composite rankings. - Miami Herald
