Transfer Portal?

Was a second-team JUCO All-American.  And the 56-yarder is nice.  But it doesn't sound like he was particularly good at kicking touchbacks which is our more immediate need.  Might be a replacement for Culp down the road - four years of eligibility left plus a redshirt.

 
Competition is good. 
As far as proven? He made 41-44 PATs and has a strong enough leg to sniff the spot of of the famous Henery57 in collegiate games. 

gotta keep getting the best players at each position, I like it. 
 

 
I wonder how many kids in the portal will be left off a roster next year?  How many go D-2 or lower?  How many have to walk-on?  The portal stuff the next few years should have less players in it, if a lot of kids get left out.

This could be interesting to watch.

Quick Google search, SI from February:

Since Aug. 1, about 1,500 players have entered the transfer portal, according to a 247Sports database that tracks portal movement. That’s just 200 players shy of the total number who entered the portal all of last cycle, from Aug. 1, 2019 to July 31, 2020.

However, portal numbers can be skewed. As many as one-third of those players are walk-ons, according to an SI examination of the portal. As of last week, only 964 of the 1,500 FBS players in the portal garnered a recruiting ranking from 247Sports (a vast majority of the other 500 are walk-ons).

Of the 964, nearly 60% (558) are uncommitted and still searching for a landing spot. The 964 players are split between those transferring from the Power 5 (557 players) and those transferring from the Group of Five (407 players). In a striking statistic, of the 299 Power 5 players who have committed to a new school, 60% took a step down in level, their next destination a Group of Five or FCS school. Just one-third of Group of Five transfers stepped up to the Power 5.

There’s also a collection of portal entrants, the number of which is unknown, who have had to swallow a very difficult medicine: They’ve become walk-ons. Some, like Netherly, may soon be out of football completely.

“Right now, there are a lot of kids in the portal that are not going to find scholarships,” Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby says. “There may be twice as many people in the portal as there are places to transfer. There will be some who won’t be able to go to college if they don’t get a scholarship.”

It would be really interesting if there were a web site that would track this as an on going thing.

This would be VERY useful to kids in a program and they think they want to enter the portal.  Well....OK, here's the stats on how many land at a P5 program, G5, D2....unsigned....etc.

I'm pretty sure I've seen a graph with a more detailed breakdown.  But I couldn't find it right off hand.
