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 Edmonds, rSr/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

05/04/22 - Joey Yellen, rSr/2025, Transfer, 6-3, 210 (DS#999 QB) + More +

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

04/30/22 - JaLen Sims, rSr/2026, Transfer, 6-1, 220 (DS#999 ILB) + More +

Memphis linebacker Ja'Len Sims confirmed to The Commercial Appeal that he's entered the transfer portal. Sims wasn't listed on the Tigers' roster prior to spring practice. Last year as a sophomore, he appeared in all 12 games, mostly on special teams, with just one tackle. He played in 16 games over three seasons. Sims, a former three-star recruit from Fultondale, Alabama, was the Tigers' third-highest ranked player in their 2019 class, the last signed under former coach Mike Norvell. Interestingly, the four highest-ranked players from that class are no longer at Memphis. Linebacker Cole Mashburn, the top-ranked 2019 signee, announced before the spring that he had to medically retire. Defensive end Jalil Clemons transferred to Southern Miss after this season and defensive end Joseph Honeysucker transferred to Middle Tennessee State in 2020. - Memphis Commercial Appeal

04/23/22 - Amari Johnson, rSr/2025, Transfer, 5-10, 160 (DS#999 WR) + More +

Amari Johnson has had to wait his turn. In a new college football world in which players regularly enter the NCAA transfer portal instead of riding the bench, the Miami native has stayed loyal to UCF. Despite a coaching change halfway through his four years and sitting on the depth chart behind wide receivers such as Gabriel Davis, Jacob Harris and Tre Nixon - all in the NFL now - Johnson never wavered. "That was pretty much the best thing for me," Johnson said. "Just to learn from those guys and be able to take what those guys did on the field, [I] implement it into my style of play." Johnson showed why the wait was worth it during Saturday's spring game when he caught 4 passes for 66 yards and 2 touchdowns, including the first score of the intrasquad scrimmage. "It felt really good," he said. "Going into my senior year, it just felt good to be able to perform at a high standard for the crowd and for my coaches and improve from last spring. Everything felt good." Johnson arrived at UCF in the summer of 2019 and caught a 49-yard touchdown pass in his debut against FAMU. That season he appeared in seven games as a receiver and on special teams. The next year he saw the field in two more games, but only caught 3 passes for 12 yards while mostly playing on special teams. In Gus Malzahn's first year in Orlando, Johnson's role expanded as he became a jack of all trades. - Orlando Sentinel

04/21/22 - Antoine Booth, rSr/2026, Transfer, 5-11, 172 (DS#999 CB) + More +

The Michigan State football roster continued to churn Tuesday when cornerback Antoine Booth entered the NCAA transfer portal. The 5-foot-11, 175-pound cornerback redshirted last season after joining the program as a three-star prospect from Maryland prep power DeMatha Catholic. Booth is the fifth member of the Spartans' 2021 class to leave the team since last summer. Previously, tight end Kameron Allen, defensive tackle Tyson Watson, edge defender Alex Okelo and safety Michael Gravely Jr. entered the portal. Booth followed only days after the conclusion of spring practice, as he remained buried on a depth chart that includes each of the starting cornerbacks from last season as well as promising transfer Ameer Speed. - Detroit News
