RE: Football Portal Entries
If it was between the two of us, he’d be at UAB. JSU has a lot at QB. which says we weren’t looking at him. Fun to keep up with instate guys regardless when the hit the portal.
UAB Should have an updated roster uploaded soon. Brandon buckhaulter is on campus. Assuming he moved in.

Good to hear about Buckhaulter.
JSU has 5 QBs listed on their 2023 roster. 4/5 have 0 career stats. Te’Sean Smoot has completed 1 pass for 8 yards. Not positive UAB was involved but choosing JSU would make sense either way IMO.

And last I saw, they were trying to get a Waiver for Zion Webb. Maybe they didn’t and why they’ve added smothers.

He looks like a tremendous pickup on paper, especially at this point in the game.

Had thought we were recruiting him as OL, considering that was our biggest need and that’s where we have the least quality.

RE: Football Portal Entries
I think this thread was started in regard to UAB players going into the transfer portal. And evaluating things at this point, I think we will end up on the plus side from the portal. I don't think we can lose anyone else (at least, to the portal), but we can still pick some up.
Here's who we lost (not including a few walk-ons):
(2022 starters):
Jaylen Key - S - Alabama
Dylan Hopkins - QB - New Mexico
Quincy McGee - OL - Ole Miss
(contributors)
Maleak Bryant - TE - Long Island (part-time starter)
Brody Dalton - TE - Troy (part-time starter)
Ryan Davis - WR - New Mexico
(others that we know went elsewhere)
Damon Stewart - QB - Alabama State
A.J. Gates - RB - Samford
Dylan Mehrotra - QB - Southern
Xavier Lanier - DB - Samford
Codey Martin - DB - Lamar
(do we know if these players landed anywhere?)
Jordan Palmer - WR
Charles Daniels - LB
Kybo Jamerson - LB
As for portal pick-ups, there have been many, and I think we will get immediate help at OL, WR, RB and maybe in the secondary. From what I can tell, these are the best of the players we got from the portal:
Will Parker - OL - Tennessee
Desmond Little -LB - LSU
Antavious Woody -DL/OL (?) - Florida State
Brandon Burkhalter - WR - Ole Miss
Malachi Holt-Bennett - WR - Indiana
Dazalin Wortham - WR - Auburn
B.J. Mayes - DB - Incarnate Word
Kendall Johnson - LB - Tenn. State
Demtrius Battle - RB - West Alabama
Brennan Moran - OL - Sioux Falls
James Smyre - LB - Marshall
AD Diamond - DB - Auburn
Am I missing anyone significant, coming or going?

RE: Football Portal Entries
So Woody played offensive and defensive line, and was the punter for a season?? Plus all of the other sports? That's impressive by itself, no matter how good he actually is.

Buckhaulter in. Ryan Davis out.
For other posts, I was expecting that we were recruiting Woody as OL, but he tagged Sione and Patrick in his commitment post. He flipped to DL in 2nd week of Nov last year. I mean, it’s possible he is OL, considering many of the staffers offer anybody and everybody when they go to HS’s but this is a transfer.
I’ll be that guy. I like the addition of Woody at DT. I feel we could’ve been better there over the last 2 years.

Good catches on those additions. I edited the above post to include them. And that is a good point about Woody, and who he tagged. I think we all assumed because of our need that he would be moved to OL but that may not be the conversations he has had with the coaches who recruited him.

It might or might not mean anything, but he is wearing Jersey No. 10 in his commit pics. An OL probably wouldn’t have that number on a commit

That could be his punter number. Or maybe he's going to try his hand at QB.

If we are getting that nitpicky with it, there is also no branding on it. I don't see the UnderArmor logo on the shoulder.

I don’t see him on the roster, but I believe Jordan Hall from Colorado was a good get.

The big OL? I didn't know the Colorado connection........I was thinking Columbus, Ohio? I went back and looked, and I see where he had been commited to Colorado! You are also correct about being a good get!!!
