    Davon Townley PSU DE enters portal

    Local 4 star, Davon Townley entered the portal from Penn State at the end of the 2022 season, but must have stayed at Penn State (or have taken a sabbatical). He recently entered the 2024 portal, again from Penn State. Looks like his presumed high-upside must not have reached fruition. Hope he...

    UTEP offensive lineman Aluma Nkele commits to MN.

    Was on UTEP roster as 6'6" 355. Lots of flexibility in these numbers!

    UTEP offensive lineman Aluma Nkele commits to MN.

    The plan has to be play him at RT, where he started last year at UTEP, and let Carroll move inside. Nkele has two years of eligibility left; he probably didn't come here to be a back-up. He has the size and some game experience. If he can do the job at a level Purcell, DeMister and Lawrence...

    Georgia WR Tyler Williams has committed to MN

    If he's a legitimate deep ball threat, which it sounds as though he is, his presence will help our other receivers find daylight ... and will help the running game by keeping the safeties honest. Even if he doesn't make 50 catches.

    PJ lands Dylan Wittke QB

    Impressive background for a back up QB. I think PJ is on a roll … https://247sports.com/college/virginia-tech/article/virginia-tech-hokies-qb-dylan-wittke-enters-the-ncaa-transfer-portal-230594021/

    Georgia WR Tyler Williams has committed to MN

    I think they need competition and they need to build depth for the coming years. PJ is on it.

    Georgia WR Tyler Williams has committed to MN

    Guys who are great athletes but need some development are learning, more quickly now, that helmet schools don’t do development. They just reload. Come to Minnesota to develop!

    Georgia WR Tyler Williams has committed to MN

    Great transfer class so far. Only guy I can’t figure out is Jai’Onte McMillan. Low rated out of HS; low rated as a transfer. PJ obviously saw something. Hope we get to see it.

    Deacon Hill in Portal

    Deacon could run or lead block in the wildcat. 6’3” 260 is a big QB.

    Deacon Hill in Portal

    I don’t think Deacon Hill would come here to be a back-up to Brosmer and then to Lindsay. But he has a wealth of experience (save the snickers!) and is a great teammate. And might be a wildcat threat. And knows the Wisconsin and Iowa playbooks!

    Another Deacon Hill tweet.

    Deacon Hill in Portal

    Actually, a lot of respect for Deacon Hill among Iowa fans. He is considered to be a great teammate. And he does have strengths. Got crushed by Iowa’s offensive dysfunction.

    Deacon Hill in Portal

    So, is Brendan Sullivan—who just entered the portal (scoop: Maxy)—going to move from Northwestern over to Iowa? Seems like a good spot for him, especially if Cade McNamara still isn’t back 100%.

    Deacon Hill in Portal

    The fix is in!

    Deacon Hill in Portal

    I guess Cade McNamara must be healthy, finally ... Or the new OC at Iowa doesn't want a 260lb QB. Iowa definitely will be hitting the portal for another QB.

    Linebacker & Safety

    I think the Gophers tried to find one. But I'm sure they weren't going to settle (this year) for another possible-non-impact transfer like Selig. They tried to get LB transfer Larry Worth--a D'Vondre Campbell body type who had great stats--but he chose Arkansas. If you look at the portal...

    Linebacker & Safety

    If Cody and Maverick are healthy to start the season, that’s a good start.

    Former #Gophers DE commit transfers to MN from Clemson.

    If he’s 6’7” and athletic, maybe a TE in the future? Offensive tackle might be as realistic as Edge for him. Good project to work with.
