Just two days after wrapping up their 2024 spring practices, Oregon State Beavers football has seen two more players enter the transfer portal. Running back Isaiah Newell and tight end Carter Neuman joined running back Damien Martinez and linebacker Michael Erhart in seeking transfers since the portal window opened on April 16.
After a disappointing season, Indiana’s coaching staff has turned to the transfer portal to revitalize the roster. The Hoosiers currently boast the top-ranked transfer class, adding talented players like Kanaan Carlyle, Myles Rice, and Oumar Ballo. These additions aim to address Indiana’s shooting woes and provide a veteran presence to the team. With three remaining scholarships available, the Hoosiers continue to pursue shooting talent in the portal. As the Big Ten landscape shifts, Indiana is building a formidable team with high expectations for the upcoming season.
Michigan basketball has been on a recruiting tear through the transfer portal, and the latest addition is wing Sam Walters from Alabama. Walters is a 6-foot-10 Florida native who played in 37 games for the Tide last season, averaging 5.4 points and 2.4 rebounds. He’s a versatile player who can shoot from beyond the arc and will bring some much-needed depth to the Wolverines’ lineup.
Duke basketball has added transfer guard Mason Gillis from Purdue, marking their second portal acquisition after Maliq Brown from Syracuse. The incoming class boasts top prospects including Cooper Flagg and Khaman Maluach, with expectations remaining high despite the departure of several players.
Pat Rooney discusses CU Buffs athletics, including concerns over transfer portal defections, criticism of recruiting strategies, and the addition of new players in basketball.

1. DL Darian Hayes Jr. to Colorado
2. RB Zach Charbonnet to Ole Miss
3. IOL Eric Hickman to Oklahoma
4. WR Darius Alford to Utah
5. DL Nick Blidi to Auburn
Oregon State University is actively rebuilding its men’s basketball roster after losing eight players to graduation or transfer. The Beavers are considering several potential transfers, high school seniors, and junior college prospects.
Former Oregon women’s basketball guard Priscilla Williams has found a new home in the Atlantic Sun Conference. Williams, who entered the transfer portal last month, committed to an unnamed school on Monday as a fifth-year junior with two years of eligibility remaining. During her time with the Ducks, she averaged 2.3 points and 1.2 rebounds in 13.9 minutes per game, shooting 20.6% from the field and 17.1% from three. Prior to Oregon, Williams played for Syracuse and USF. She is the last of four Ducks to transfer this offseason.
Solomon DeShields, a former outside linebacker for the University of Pittsburgh, has committed to play for Texas A&M University. DeShields, who graduated from Westinghouse High School, enters with two years of eligibility remaining. He previously announced his decision to transfer through the NCAA transfer portal. With his experience, DeShields may fill the void left by former Youngstown State linebacker Alex Howard, who is also transferring.
