Oregon State transfer RB Damien Martinez has committed to Miami. Huge get for the Hurricanes. The first-team All-P12 rusher was the No. 1 player in our @TheAthletic best available ranks: bit.ly/3Ul6hZE

By my count, 82 players selected in the 2024 NFL Draft transferred during their college careers. Obviously a new record. It's 32% of all picks. Back in 2022, the total was 37. @FSUFootball led the way with a remarkable 9 portal additions drafted this year.
Dylan Raiola. The stars are mattering.
Colts GM Chris Ballard went on a rant about the anonymous criticisms of Adonai Mitchell's character. "It’s bulls—. Put your name on it. We tear these young men down ... This is a good kid." 🎥 @Colts | H/T @NFLscheme
Among this year's top 100 NFL Draft picks, 23 transferred during their college careers. Interesting note: 19 of them played 2+ seasons at the program they joined via the portal.
Stud. Steelers are gonna love this dude.
James Madison CB D'Angelo Ponds (@DangeloPondss) has officially entered the transfer portal, @TheAthletic has learned. The Freshman All-American and All-Sun Belt performer becomes one of the best available DBs in the portal: theathletic.com/5423135/2024/0…
SOURCE: Maryland is expected to hire Brian Ferentz as an analyst for the Terps. The 41-year-old, a former Patriots assistant, spent a decade at Iowa working as the Hawkeyes OL coach and later OC. He’d also coached TEs, RBs and QBs there. Pat Harty first reported the move.
Washington QB Dermaricus Davis has re-entered the transfer portal, @TheAthletic has learned. The true freshman enrolled early, briefly hit the portal after the coaching change and is now back on the market.
South Alabama LB Khalil Jacobs has re-entered the transfer portal, @TheAthletic has learned. Jacobs briefly went in the portal in January after Kane Wommack went to Alabama. Coming off a productive year with 56 tackles, 8.5 TFLs, 3 sacks, 3 FF, 1 INT.
Not shocked that Michael Penix Jr went top 10. Great arm talent. He's had the roughest road of any QB to get here (and been the most candid talking about it), and for the NFL, that ultimately may prove to be a blessing. #Falcons theathletic.com/5228052/2024/0… theathletic.com/5228052/2024/0…
Amazing
The Falcons called Kirk Cousins when they were on the clock to let him know. From what I learned, Cousins understood a QB would be considered but he did not believe his successor would be taken in the first round. I’m told he’s a bit stunned.
It''s Draft Day. We made it. Here's my final 1st round mock (including a few trades). Bring on the chaos. theathletic.com/5442096/2024/0…
Kicker recruiting may be downstream from the biggest transfer portal stories, but I was curious how this new world impacts the recruitment of prep specialists. Turns out, it's put it in critical condition. "It feels like there’s just nothing out there.” theathletic.com/5442552/2024/0…
How a gambling sting ensnared 2 dozen athletes & raised questions for the NCAA, law enforcement. Attorneys representing those athletes will file a federal lawsuit this week. Noah Shannon became collateral damage but still harbors NFL hopes. @TheAthletic theathletic.com/5436872/2024/0…
Arizona State transfer QB Jaden Rashada has committed to Georgia. @SethWEmerson on what this means for the Bulldogs and next year's QB competition: theathletic.com/5443545/2024/0…

Recently talked some NIL with Coach Traylor. The college football world has turned upside down. What was once about relationships is now all about the almighty dollar. The truth of the matter is that it's gonna take 'San Antonio' to stay competitive. It's what it is. #BirdsUp

The New England Patriots are listening and taking calls from teams looking to move into 3. While GM Eliot Wolf is running point, I’m told Patriots’ President Jonathan Kraft is heavily involved in the decision making.
