In 7 days, free agency in college football begins, AKA, the opening of the NCAA Transfer Portal.
Starting on December 4th, college coaches will be permitted to talk with players that have entered their name in the portal. This will be a stressful period for college teams and a crazy couple of months for the sport of college football.
This is the new form of recruiting and is now crucial to every team, almost as much as high school recruiting itself. Because of this, Pittsburgh Sports Now will start running an ACC Daily Portal Report, that will keep you updated on all activity involving programs in the ACC.
Instead of making it notebook style and reporting on the news immediately, we’ll gather all of the transfers and run a recap of them every evening so that you can get caught up.

Pitt LB Brandon George Announces Intention to Enter Transfer Portal
Add Brandon George from Pitt to the list..Think this is the first of many more to come
Most of them are marginal players at best anywho. Just add more tugs.
Dick Van Dyke would be an upgrade….to what we got now. And as a bonus has 2 years left. You know things are crazy when Thug U and all their alumni/non-alumni money can’t keep em.
Hard pass, I’d honestly rather give Yarnell a shot.
I agree.Like what I’ve seen out of Yarnell.He throws a really nice ball and seemed to have his head in the game and not up his keister..
