I doubt he’ll be the last,

And I doubt jmu will be the only school effected.

Any Senior fcs player who has realistic draft prospects and can grad transfer is going to enter the portal and try and find an fbs home.

The floodgates will open next week I bet.

And you can’t blame them. They are grad transfers, meaning, they already graduated. The are doing one last semester of school to play football and enhance their nfl prospects. These guys won’t be in school in spring so playing then does them no good. From their individual perspective, it totally makes sense to open all options by getting in the portal.

Despite the anger crowd going cra cra, no one at jmu or ncaa is to blame. It’s all COVID. Sucks, but nothing could have been done to prevent this. It’s naive to think othwewise

Yup. Have to think Fornadel will be going as well and the running back room could lose a guy or two. The only thing that could stop this Is if he FBS shuts down as well, which is still a distinct possibility despite just about everyone releasing updated conference schedules. With more and more schools making last minute switch to virtual learning for the fall semester, it will be very difficult to justifying bringing back football players only when a school switches to virtual only.
