Transfer Portal Tracker

Will Howard seems like the perfect QB for Satterfield at cincy, however I doubt he stays in the conference. Penn State maybe?
 
Kicker
OLB
DE
Corner
WR

Replacements for any outgoing transfers. The best part is none of these are MUST get situations.

I don't see OLB as a huge need. They've got a ton of young guys at the LB position that really improved this year. Bacon, McLaughlin, Lovett, Willich and Sadowsky. Even Jacob Ellis got a little bit of action. If there was an upgrade, great, but there would have to be a lot of guys they don't feel good about developing to see that as a huge need.

Probably can't happen, but if Drew Surges put on 25 lbs, maybe he becomes a LB in the future as well.

I kind of feel the same about DE, unless you lose guys. With Onyedim, Jones, Ezeogu, Peterson, you've got a lot of snaps returning. Plus you have Same who was a pretty good recruit,. If the LB depth is okay, I could see Bacon move to DE as well.

I would put the needs like this.
1. CB - You've got Purchase. Is Darian Porter returning? I haven't loved what I've seen out of Jontez Williams.
2. DT - You've got Singleton and Orange, who are awesome, but who is there after that? I bet nobody can name another DT without looking at teh roster. Plus, with a 3 man line, you can play Singleton and Orange together at times if you want to beef things up.
3. K
4. WR - not for next year, but after. Iowa State can shuffle in a lot of WRs, but you rarely, if ever saw Adams, Essex and Gaines, so I really wonder if they will all be back (or if they are massive losses). According to cyclones.com, Essex and Adams didn't participate in any games and Gaines appeared in 5 only. Next year, the 3 Srs will dominate the PT (Noel, Higgens and Jackson) and you have to wonder if Kai Black and/or Ngoyi are moving ahead of those other 3.

These WR's were such good recruits, and I am hoping they can retain them all. Gaines, Parkes, Black, and Ngoyi all could be really good players in due time
