7 Michigan State football transfers are still looking for a new home
College athletics is in one of the wildest times in the history of college sports. The transfer portal, which does bring a lot of good for many players, has its downsides that hurt just as many players as those it helps.
One of those downsides is players entering the portal, looking for a new home, but being unable to find one. Those stories are never highlighted, but I think it’s time we start shedding some light on them in hopes of finding a way to make the transfer portal better for everyone.
As you all know, Michigan State football had a record number of players enter the transfer portal after last season. And unfortunately for some of those players, they are still sitting in the portal.
According to 247Sports, there are still seven Michigan State football transfers that are yet to find a new home. Below are those seven players.
Name | Position |
|---|---|
Jalen Berger | RB |
Davion Primm | RB |
Sean Brown | CB |
Marqui Lowery Jr. | CB |
Ma’a Gaoteote | LB |
Jaelon Barbarin | RB |
Quavian Carter | LB |
So what’s next for these players? Unfortunately, nobody knows. It’s going to be extremely difficult for them to find a landing spot at this point, or at least at a FBS program since we’re already at the end of July. So the way I see it, this will end in two ways for these players.
They either won’t find a team at all or have to move down to the FCS or division two level. Both options are not what they were hoping for, but that’s the reality of the transfer portal.
Now while none of this impacts Michigan State because there’s no chance any of these players end up on MSU’s roster again, at some point, you do have to feel bad for them. At the end of the day, they’re just trying to do what they think is best for their lives, and I hope it ends up working out for them all.
