The Unofficial Furman Football Page

The portal doesn't open until December 9 (closes December 28), but thought I would go ahead and have a thread available for any Furman or SoCon transfers of note. Hoping for a much less active portal this year for Furman in regard to those who are leaving.

Currently, I could only find 2 names who say they are going to enter the portal from Furman.

-DB Brayden Holmes - actually made that post on 11/7/24 I think and I missed it.
-WR Miles Moss - PWO from St. Thomas Aquinas in FL

I would imagine we might see Charles Ingram's name soon since he's off the roster. Also wouldn't surprise me if at least 1 QB ended up there but I'm hoping that's not the case.

Going over the numbers, I'm not really sure Furman has a lot of room to go after many people in the portal, but Hendrix, Verna, and McCutchen have followed several linemen so far. Seems that will be an area they are at least going to target. Haven't seen any CB follows yet, but the losses of Perkins, Ingram, and Holmes make me think they are at least going to be looking to see who's available.

-VMI has 4+ players who have announced plans to enter the portal

-Wofford's Isaiah Wadsworth announced he will enter the portal. Looks like he could be a grad program causality as he was listed a 5th year on the Wofford roster this year. Had 38 tackles this year for Wofford.

If we can just portal back in some of the injured DB that will help.

I think @FUWolfpacker that you are right about the numbers. We have few seniors, an incoming recruiting class and we will now have to adhere to a 105 roster limit. So there is not going to be a lot of room. We may have to cut some walk ons even.

You know, I thought I read that if you weren't opting in to the revenue sharing, then you were not going to be bound to the 105 roster limit but could only offer the 85 scholarships (or 63). I can't find that now, but this stuff is changing all the time so maybe the initial thought was that the 105 wouldn't apply to FCS but it certainly looks that way now. If that's the case, we certainly are going to see some PWO's hit the portal to try and find a spot.

I imagine some work is being done by the coaches in the portal is in the event that some guys don't come back.

I read that too (that if you opt out of rev share that you did not have a roster limit) but I think the rule is looking like the 105 applies to all D1. I don't think it's final and is still up in the air.

Agree coaches are looking at Portal regardless. In this day and age there is always a surprise.

Technically not Socon but QB Tyler Riddell from GWebb formerly at ETSU.
