Football players enter the transfer portal
With the departure of seven-year head coach Mike Bloomgren and the hiring of Scott Abell from Davidson College, the football program has seen numerous changes in personnel. A change in head coach comes with a change in the strategy and staff coming into the team, often leading players and coaches to look for opportunities elsewhere. For players, the transfer portal provides an avenue to consider offers from schools around the country that fit into their desired athletic and academic trajectory. Since the closing of the winter transfer portal Dec. 28, there have already been many changes to the football roster.
