Just wanted to post that the portal entry deadline has passed, but there may be some names that pop up over the next few days, as schools are allowed 48 hours to process entries.

Guys the staff likes from FCS out of all the guys they could have taken. Regardless of the school Ohio is not going to bring in someone just for the sake of bringing them in.

Have the transfers actually signed or just verbally committing?

The team’s official Instagram account has posted many of them, so probably pretty likely most will be here.

Cheap and we have a pretty good hit rate.

Give em to me hungry and a desire to prove they've been overlooked. Especially on defense. A worker is a worker.

I read a tweet or an article a week ago, but On3 still has him in the portal and no team destination. He also hasnt tweeted or posted that he’s back. Nor has OU. Feels like the returning leading rusher, presumed starter would send a brief note out into the world.

Poulos was there as well, so the QB room is (by class):
Poulos, Winters, Vezza, Grand, Davis

Edit: looks like Pappas is back as well.
