Just read that Nick Williams, WR, entered the portal today. Wonder how many more will hit the portal after the Championship game?

None right away as this window for portal entry ends Jan 2. April 15 is the next window opening.

It does but players have an additional 5 (?) days after their last game to enter the portal.

Probably a battle between the younger Ah Yat and a transfer to be brought in. Just a guess.

Actually perplexed on this because I just don’t see anything about McDowell that stands out at the FBS level. His scrambling was a big key for UM this season but he isn’t a great passer and FBS LBs will be able to track him and his stiff, upright running style down much better than FCS LBs.


Seattle to Billings to Missoula to Bozeman to Portland to Billings

What a ride

An agent group got in his ear and told him he’d have lots of FBS options and NIL. When that didn’t look very promising, he asked if he would withdraw from portal and come back. He was told the Griz had already moved on, which was true as they signed the Fresno St QB shortly after Cliff entered portal. I think this will be a decision he regrets.

I’m guessing you talked to his dad?
