Transfer portal guys, week 1 (completed)
Starting a new one for this year. I made another thread earlier, but it was too early and incomplete.
If anyone has more info, please help fill it out.
Offensive MVP: Steve Angeli
Defensive MVP: Kennedy Urlacher
QB Drew Pyne, BGSU - Played against Lafayette, 12 of 18 passing for 109 yards, 4 rushes for -3 yards.
QB Steve Angeli, SYR - Played against Tennessee, 23 of 40 passing, 274 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, 7 rushes for -24 yards.
WR Deion Colzie, MIA (OH) - Played against Wisconsin, 1 reception for 11 yards
OL Ty Chan, CONN - Didn't start against Central Connecticut
C Pat Coogan, IND - Started at C against Old Dominion
DL Tyson Ford, CAL - NSR (no stats recorded) against Oregon State
WR Micah Bell, VAN - NSR vs Charleston Southern
WR Rico Flores, UCLA - NSR vs Utah
WR Braylon James, TCU - NSR vs UNC
WR Tobias Merriweather, UTAH - 1 reception for 36 yards vs UCLA
TE Holden Staes, IND, 1 reception for 4 yards vs Old Dominion
DL Aiden Gobiara, JMU - 1 tackle (1 assist) vs Weber State
CB Jaden Mickey, BSU - NSR vs South Florida, but he did play some.
OL Sam Pendleton, TENN - Started at RG vs SYR
OL Rocco Spindler, NEB - Played a decent amount at G vs Cincinnati, but didn't start
WR Jayden Thomas, UVA - NSR vs Coastal Carolina
S Kennedy Urlacher, USC - 2 tackles (2 solo), 1 sack, 1 TFL vs Missouri State
K Zac Yoakam, HOU - NSR vs Stephen F Austin.
Overall, I was surprised that none of our former WR's recorded any notable stats, except for Merriweather's single long reception.
I know that Rico Flores is still a bit sore from that torn ACL last year that cost him the final 8 games, but the others? They seemed healthy in camp.

When does the COVID window end?
Having all these sixth and seventh year guys floating around for eternity has been a drain on the game. and I know, it's already basically a professional sport, but I would like to go back to five years and you are out.
2026 will be the last year
Barring a very minute number of exceptions, 2026 will be the absolute last of the 7th year seniors, since they will have been the last class who could take advantage of the COVID exemption.
There may be a few remaining, though, such as those who entered the military and returned to college to play football. During your military service time, the eligibility clock pauses for as long as you're in active service.
For everyone else, the class of 2020 will be the last of the ones who could take the COVID exemption. These three redshirt years you could take include:
1) Conventional redshirt (play in 4 or fewer regular season games)
2) Medical redshirt (injured early in the season, lost for the year)
3) COVID exemption in 2020
Quite a few guys from 2020 took that year as a COVID exemption, since it was a "use it or lose it" situation. This way, they preserved the conventional redshirt year.
Every 7th year senior in 2026 will have used a medical redshirt year as well, and the NFL scouts tend to frown upon seeing a player who took such a redshirt year, since it had to be a significant injury.
...unless China decides to reopen it...

Hated to see Urlacher and Pendleton go
Sam played good against Syracuse. At least we are deep at S
Thanks much for putting together
It is never good to lose quality players but Urlacher wasn't in the two deep
I get why they both left but that kind of stuff happens when you have lots of quality players.
I'd rather have this problem.....players leaving due to lack of possible playing time...than constantly chasing possible portal guys.
Thank you. Interesting and informative content.
