  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

  05/08/22 - Antoine BoothrSr/2026, Transfer, 5-11, 172 (DS#999 CB) + More +

  Growing up, Antoine Booth took any opportunity to visit James Madison in order to catch a game inside Bridgeforth Stadium. A young football player at the time, Booth watched as the Dukes battled Colonial Athletic Association foes like Richmond and William & Mary. As he sat in the stands, Booth had the thought of playing at JMU creep into the back of his mind. Booth's father, Tony, starred for the Dukes during his four years in Harrisonburg. The older Booth was a two-time All-American, set the single-season interceptions record in 1997 (now second-most) and was drafted in the seventh round by the Carolina Panthers the following season.

Fast forward to this week and Antoine, a Michigan State defensive back, announced he was transferring to JMU, following in his father's footsteps. Booth said his dad never pressured him to pick the Dukes, but was happy when he told him he was trading his green and white in for purple and gold. "To be honest, it was a dream come true to be able to commit to JMU," Booth said. "This was something that I loved. I've always had love for JMU." The former Spartan only spent a couple weeks in the transfer portal after entering the NCAA's revolving door after Michigan State's spring game. - Daily News-Record

  05/08/22 - Cody BrownrSr/2026, Transfer, 5-10, 215 (DS#999 RB) + More +

  There's a lengthy tradition of superb running backs at Parkview High in Lilburn, Ga. Cody Brown was the latest in line, and ninth-year Panthers coach Eric Godfree said Brown possesses a distinct trait that should allow him to succeed at his next stop in college. Earlier this week, Brown announced his decision to transfer from Miami, where he spent his freshman season this past fall, to Virginia. He'll be eligible right away for the Cavaliers, who have a need at the running back position. "He has tremendous balance in his lower half and he does such a great job with it," Godfree said Friday. "He stays square with the balance he has and then as soon as he gets to the next level, he can finish his runs. I think that's what's really unique about him is how many long runs he did have and did finish.

At Parkview, Brown racked up 5,221 career rushing yards and tallied three straight seasons of 1,500 yards on the ground or more to become the next great running back for a prep program that produced Chris Carson, who currently is with the Seattle Seahawks and formerly starred for Oklahoma State, in addition to past Auburn standout Brad Lester as well as Brett Millican, who played at Georgia and in the NFL, too. - Charlottesville Daily Progress

  05/07/22 - Eric Reed Jr.rJr/2025, Transfer, 6-0, 196 (DS#999 CB) + More +

  A second former Auburn defensive back is transferring to Georgia Tech. Eric Reed Jr., a former four-star prospect, committed to the Yellow Jackets on Wednesday night, he announced on Twitter. Reed joins Ahmari Harvey as former Tigers defensive backs to make the move to Georgia Tech this offseason. Harvey transferred after the end of the season and committed to Georgia Tech back in January.

Reed, meanwhile, originally entered the transfer portal in early January before withdrawing his name shortly thereafter. He was never listed on Auburn's spring roster and reentered the portal March 28. Reed, who signed with Auburn in 2020, saw limited playing time during his two years on the Plains. - Birmingham News

  05/07/22 - Cody BrownrSr/2026, Transfer, 5-10, 215 (DS#999 RB) + More +

  Former Miami running back Cody Brown announced via Twitter his decision to commit to UVa. Brown played in 10 games for the Hurricanes this past fall as a freshman and carried the ball 34 times for 139 yards and three touchdowns. He averaged 4.1 yards per run, and saw his most extensive action in Miami's blowout win over FCS Central Connecticut State in late September, scoring twice on the ground. He tallied his other touchdown in the Hurricanes' loss to North Carolina in October. A product of Parkview High School in Lilburn, Ga., Brown was a consensus four-star prospect by recruiting services and racked up 21 total scholarship offers, including ones from Auburn, Georgia, Ohio State, Penn State and Tennessee. Before signing with Miami, he was previously committed to Tennessee. - Charlottesville Daily Progress

  05/06/22 - Shane IllingworthrSr/2025, Transfer, 6-6, 233 (DS#999 QB) + More +

  The Wolf Pack quarterback room just got a bit bigger - and, perhaps, a lot more competitive. Nevada officially announced the addition of Oklahoma State transfer Shane Illingworth, a verbal commitment from earlier in the year, on Tuesday. He'll join the team in time for summer camp, which usually has an early August start. In two seasons in mostly a reserve role for the Cowboys, Illingworth completed 69 of his 120 attempts, good for 939 yards and seven touchdowns. His best outing was a 315-yard game in OSU's opening win over Missouri State last season. As a first-time transfer, he will be immediately eligible to play in the fall; he has three seasons of eligibility remaining.

"Excited to have a quality athlete with Division I experience competing for our quarterback position," Nevada coach Ken Wilson said in a news release. "Shane is a fierce competitor with great intelligence who I have known for a long time. "Competition at all positions will make our team better. His presence will certainly help all of the players competing to be our starting QB." Illingworth joins a Nevada roster with an overall shortage of quarterback experience. Nate Cox, who backed up Carson Strong the last two seasons, led the first team during spring camp. He also started Nevada's bowl game loss to Western Michigan in late December that ended the 2021 season. - Reno Gazette Journal

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

  The University of Hawaii football team has secured a commitment from Joey Yellen, a transfer quarterback from Pittsburgh. Yellen was a Class of 2019 four-star recruit coming out of Mission Viejo High School in California. He originally signed with Arizona State and played one game for the Sun Devils, completing 28 of 44 passes for 292 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions in a loss against USC on Nov. 9, 2019. Yellen transferred to Pittsburgh following prior to the 2020 season and played four games for the Panthers. Yellen played in one game in 2021 and entered the transfer portal once again following the season. Although Yellen has three seasons if NCAA eligibility remaining, his status for the 2022 season has yet to be defined. - Khon2.com

  The University of Hawaii football team's quarterback competition is heating up with the addition of a transfer from the University of Pittsburgh. "I'm very excited," said Joey Yellen, a former four-star prospect, of his commitment to the Rainbow Warriors on Monday. "I'm excited about the staff over there and the team we've got. I feel it's a good opportunity." Yellen was the backup to Kenny Pickett, who was the Pittsburgh Steelers' first-round draft pick last week.

Yellen said there were several factors in deciding to transfer, notably offensive coordinator Mark Whipple's move to Nebraska. Whipple recruited Yellen to Pitt in 2020. "I'm definitely thankful for Pittsburgh, and all the experiences they brought me," Yellen told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. "There are only so many people who can say they played under a first-round draft pick for a couple years. Even though I didn't play, I wouldn't trade the experience there." Yellen joins Washington State transfer Cammon Cooper as UH quarterbacks who began their careers at Pac-12 schools. - Honolulu Advertiser

  Former Mississippi State wide receiver Teddy Knox, a four-star recruit in the Class of 2021 out of The Woodlands, announced his intention to transfer to SMU on Tuesday. Knox spent one season at Mississippi State and appeared in one game, returning one kickoff for 31 yards. Knox was the No. 7 transfer available, according to 247Sports' rankings. SMU didn't add a wide receiver in the Class of 2022, but it has utilized the transfer portal to fill the departures of Danny Gray, who was selected in the third round by the San Francisco 49ers, and Reggie Roberson Jr., who signed with the Tennessee Titans. - Dallas Morning News

Gilbert sat out last season but had 35 catches as a freshman at LSU in 2020 before having to lose weight and handle other personal issues while not playing last season. - AP College Football

  05/05/22 - Aaron WillisrSr/2026, Transfer, 6-0, 220 (DS#999 OLB) + More +

  Tennessee sophomore linebacker Aaron Willis, who has survived a coaching transition and a multiweek suspension during his time with the Volunteers, announced Friday on social media that he will be leaving the program. Willis is Tennessee's highest-rated member of a volatile 2021 signing class that contained 17 enrollees but would be down to nine if Willis departs. The 6-foot-1, 225-pounder from Colonial Heights, Virginia, played in eight games last season and recorded his lone tackle during the 60-14 thrashing of South Alabama in late November.

The loss of Willis, the nation's No. 16 linebacker and No. 137 overall prospect in the 2021 signing cycle, would leave Tennessee without its four highest-rated members of that class, with athlete Kaemen Marley, quarterback Kaidon Salter and tight end Julian Nixon having already departed. Nixon entered the portal earlier this week with this Sunday's eligibility deadline for the one-time transfer waiver quickly approaching. - Chattanooga Times Free Press

  Less than 24 hours after Kenny Pickett was drafted by the Steelers and four weeks after Davis Beville entered the transfer portal, Pitt lost a third scholarship quarterback. Joey Yellen, who transferred to Pitt from Arizona State in 2020, also entered the portal, according to multiple reports on Friday. Yellen will have three years of eligibility available but might have to sit out a season if he joins a Football Bowl Subdivision team due to the NCAA's transfer rules.

Yellen's decision isn't necessarily a surprise considering where he stacks up in Pitt's quarterback room. USC transfer Kedon Slovis and 2021 backup Nick Patti are competing to replace Pickett. Slovis came to Pitt with pedigree after performing at a high level with the Trojans in 2019 and 2020. Meanwhile, Patti was the next quarterback up and started the Peach Bowl when Pickett opted out this past December. - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

  05/04/22 - Kamarro EdmondsrSr/2026, Transfer, 5-11, 220 (DS#999 RB) + More +

  It appears as if we will not get the chance to see Kamarro Edmonds play in a UNC football uniform. Earlier this week, Edmonds announced that he will enter the transfer portal. After earning a redshirt during his freshman season, the Havelock, North Carolina native will have four years of eligibility remaining. The announcement is rather surprising, given that the Tar Heels recently wrapped up their set of spring practices. After having what is reported as a good spring camp, it seemed as if Edmonds was set to make an impact in the backfield this season.

However, Edmonds decided to explore his options, as the former four-star prospect should draw plenty of interest from other college programs. His departure leaves a hole in the Tar Heels running back depth chart, but fortunately, the program returns the likes of British Brooks, Caleb Hood and D.J. Jones while also adding two incoming freshman to the mix. The Tar Heels have done well in the transfer portal as of late, as Mack Brown and his staff have earned commitments from Ohio State transfers Lejond Cavazos and Jacolbe Cowan. - Keeping It Heel.com

  Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi likes to add a quarterback to his roster every year, and he received a verbal commitment for the class of 2023 on Saturday when Kenny Minchey announced his plans to enroll next year. Minchey (6-foot-3, 200 pounds) is a three-star prospect, according to Rivals.com. He threw for 3,280 yards and 32 touchdowns last season for Pope John Paul II High School in Hendersonville, Tenn. While approaching his senior season, he has 17 scholarship offers, including from Power 5 schools Michigan State, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Virginia, Virginia Tech and West Virginia. Minchey's commitment surfaced after Pitt lost quarterback Joey Yellen and Davis Beville to the NCAA transfer portal and Kenny Pickett to the NFL this offseason. The Panthers have only three scholarship quarterbacks on their roster, including Kedon Slovis and Nick Patti at the top of the depth chart and Nate Yarnell, a redshirt freshman from the class of 2021. - The Tribune-Review
