Cleveland Browns Rookie Dae'Quan Wright Enters Transfer Portal as First Active NFL Player Dae'Quan Wright, the Cleveland Browns' rookie tight end and former Ole Miss standout, has entered the NCAA transfer portal, becoming the first active NFL player to do so, according to sources cited by CBS Sports. Wright, who joined the Browns' practice squad during training camp after going undrafted in April, is one of 16 players—many more are expected—to take advantage of a temporary restraining order (TRO) granted by a Louisiana judge. The TRO challenges the NCAA’s five-year eligibility clock, creating a time-sensitive window for players in NFL training camps or on the cut bubble. Wright, who caught 113 passes for 1,603 yards during his collegiate career at Virginia Tech and Ole Miss, including 1,029 yards in his final two seasons with the Rebels, was undrafted in April despite earning second-team All-SEC honors at Ole Miss. He signed with the Philadelphia Eagles but was later claimed by the Browns. While his NFL opportunity remains intact, the transfer portal provides him with leverage to pursue a college return if he is released before the regular season. The legal battle over eligibility rules gained momentum following the Louisiana TRO, which creates a window for players in NFL training camps or on the cut bubble. NFL teams are set to trim their rosters to 53 players by August 30, potentially allowing released players to join college teams for the 2026 season under NIL or revenue share contracts. A Colorado court ruling earlier this summer initially allowed players from the 2022 recruiting class to use their fifth year of eligibility if they returned to college football, but the court later clarified that NCAA rules still apply to players who have signed NFL contracts.#ncaa #ole_miss #cleveland_browns #transfer_portal #dae_quan_wright
Iowa State Shooting Star Milan Momcilovic Enters Transfer Portal, Declares NBA Draft Intent AMES – Iowa State is facing a significant loss as standout shooter Milan Momcilovic, a three-year starter and key contributor to the Cyclones’ recent success, has announced his intention to enter the NBA Draft and transfer to the transfer portal. The decision marks the end of his collegiate career at Iowa State, where he became one of the program’s most prolific scorers and shooters in its history. Momcilovic, a native of Pewaukee, Wisconsin, concluded his time at Iowa State with a season that solidified his place among the program’s all-time leaders. He finished the 2025-26 campaign with a career-high 49.3% shooting from beyond the arc, a figure that ranks as the best percentage for any player to attempt at least 125 three-pointers in program history. His accuracy extended to the free-throw line, where he made 87.8% of his attempts, and his overall field goal percentage of 50.6% underscored his efficiency as a scorer. The 6-foot-5 forward averaged 17 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game this season, becoming an All-Big 12 selection for his efforts. Over his 102 career games at Iowa State, Momcilovic scored 13 points per game while shooting 42.8% from three-point range. His contributions were instrumental in the Cyclones’ three consecutive winning seasons, a streak that has defined the program’s recent trajectory. Momcilovic’s departure leaves a void in Iowa State’s offensive arsenal, as he was one of the team’s most reliable perimeter threats. He ranks third all-time in career three-pointers made, second in career three-pointers per game, and first in the program’s history for games with at least five made three-pointers.#big_12 #iowa_state #transfer_portal #milan_momcilovic #pewaukee_wisconsin

The deadline for him to decide whether to remain in the draft or withdraw and retain his college eligibility is May 27. The 2026 NBA Draft is scheduled for June, though the exact date has not yet been finalized.

This season, he led the nation in made three-pointers with 136, surpassing the previous Iowa State record held by Dedric Willoughby, who had 102 in the 1996-97 season. His 48.75% shooting accuracy from beyond the arc further solidified his reputation as one of the most efficient shooters in the country. According to KenPom, Momcilovic ranked 11th nationally in offensive rating and was second in the Big 12 conference. His true shooting percentage of 69.3% placed him fifth in the nation, while his effective field-goal percentage of 67.2% ranked 13th.#iowa_state #nba_draft #transfer_portal #milan_momcilovic #pewaukee_wisconsin
Former All-ACC Guard Leaves Kentucky Amid Mark Pope Firing Rumors A second-round NCAA Tournament matchup against Iowa State was meant to serve as a test for Kentucky’s basketball program. Instead, the game exposed significant weaknesses in the team’s roster, depth, and overall cohesion. The Wildcats were dominated 82–63, with the contest shifting from a close contest to a one-sided defeat in the second half. The performance raised questions about the program’s ability to compete at the highest level, despite its history and financial investment in talent. The loss intensified pressure on head coach Mark Pope, whose job security has come under scrutiny following the poor showing. Critics are already framing next season as a make-or-break year for the program, with rumors about Pope’s future growing louder. Just days after the game, the storyline took a dramatic turn as Kentucky guard Jaland Lowe announced his intention to enter the transfer portal, according to ESPN sources. Lowe, a highly touted four-star recruit from Missouri City, Texas, had arrived in Lexington with promise. He initially committed to Pittsburgh in November 2022, spending two seasons with the Panthers before transferring to Kentucky in April 2025. During his time at Kentucky, Lowe averaged 16.8 points, 5.5 assists, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.8 steals per game, earning third-team All-ACC honors. His performance positioned him as one of the most productive guards in the country before his departure. The fit between Lowe and Kentucky seemed logical. The Wildcats needed a playmaker, and Lowe sought a bigger stage. However, the reality never matched the expectations. A shoulder injury derailed his season almost immediately.#ncaa_tournament #kentucky #mark_pope #transfer_portal #jaland_lowe
But I’m not ready for another coaching search As I’m writing this on Wednesday morning, signs are pointing rather strongly at Will Wade leaving NC State for LSU, a possibility that has been simmering behind the scenes for a while but didn’t feel real until Tuesday. Wade’s buyout, which is already low, drops to a paltry $3 million at the beginning of April, which is nothing for a big SEC school, not even a big SEC school that just spent a bundle on a football staff. The low buyout in Wade’s contract was obviously a mistake on NC State’s part but also beside the point if he’s that intent on getting back to LSU, and if he’s really leaving, then I don’t know how else you explain it other than that he just really wants to be there. NC State was going to step up and pay him more with a new contract this offseason, and I just can’t imagine there’d be that much difference between that and what LSU is willing to offer. The NIL funds might be a different story, but again, I’m not sure there’s a huge difference. This whole thing has been strange in that all of the discussion about it has been on the local level on both sides, with nothing at all from national media members. LSU hasn’t said anything about the status of its still-sitting head coach, and their season has been over for two weeks, and that alone probably tells us all we need to know. The portal opens in a couple of weeks, so one way or another, this needs to be resolved very soon.

Oregon's Offseason Shifts with Kwame Evans' Transfer Decision Oregon forward Kwame Evans has officially decided to enter the NCAA transfer portal, marking a pivotal moment for the Ducks as they navigate the offseason following a challenging 2025-26 season. The move provides clarity for the program as it seeks to rebuild and reshape its roster amid lingering questions about its future. Evans, a former five-star recruit, shared his decision on social media, though the transfer portal will not officially open for two more weeks. Evans emerged as one of Oregon’s most dependable players during the 2025-26 season, suiting up in 30 of the Ducks’ 32 games. His consistency stood out in a year marred by injuries and inconsistency across the roster. Despite missing two contests due to minor injuries, Evans remained a key contributor, offering stability both in production and demeanor. Head coach Dana Altman frequently highlighted his resilience, noting how Evans maintained his focus and leadership even as the team struggled with setbacks. Statistically, Evans delivered his best season at Oregon, averaging 13.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game. His shooting efficiency was a standout, with a 45.4% field goal percentage and a career-high 3-point accuracy. Evans also recorded 1.3 blocks and 1.0 steals per game, showcasing his all-around impact. His performance included standout efforts such as a 20-point, seven-rebound game against Washington on March 7, as well as four double-doubles against Oregon State, UC Davis, Rutgers, and Northwestern. Over three seasons with the Ducks, Evans has appeared in 101 games with 62 starts, averaging 8.7 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. However, his 2025-26 season felt like a breakthrough, as his confidence, aggressiveness, and leadership grew in tandem with his on-court contributions.#ncaa #transfer_portal #dana_altman #kwame_evans #oregon
Oregon guard Jackson Shelstad to enter transfer portal Junior guard Jackson Shelstad of the Oregon Ducks is set to enter the NCAA transfer portal, marking a significant loss for the program. The decision comes after Shelstad missed most of the 2025-26 season due to a recurring hand injury sustained during the preseason. Despite limited playing time, Shelstad contributed 15.6 points, 4.9 assists, and 2.9 rebounds per game in the 12 contests he managed to play. Shelstad’s departure follows the exit of forward Kwame Evans Jr., who also entered the portal earlier this month. Both players were key contributors to Oregon’s roster over the past three seasons, including two NCAA tournament appearances where the Ducks exited in the Round of 32. Their exits signal the end of a promising 2023 recruiting class that coach Dana Altman had hoped to solidify. Mookie Cook and Jadrian "Bam" Tracey, two other members of that class, already left for other programs. The loss of Shelstad, who was named third-team All-Big Ten in 2024-25 and a Pac-12 All-Freshman honoree in 2023-24, further complicates Oregon’s rebuilding efforts. The Ducks endured their worst season under Altman’s 16-year tenure, finishing with a 12-20 record and failing to reach 20 wins for the first time in program history. Shelstad’s departure could exacerbate challenges in maintaining competitiveness in the Pac-12. Shelstad, a former Oregon Gatorade Player of the Year, had considered Gonzaga and UCLA before committing to the Ducks in 2023. His decision to leave now positions him as one of the top point guards available in the transfer portal. With the Ducks struggling to retain key talent, the team faces mounting pressure to address its roster shortcomings and restore success in the conference.#pac_12 #transfer_portal #jackson_shelstad #oregon_ducks #dana_altman
Butler's talented freshman class breaking up with 2nd player planning to enter transfer portal Butler's basketball freshman, Jack McCaffery, has announced his intention to enter the transfer portal, according to The Field of 68. McCaffery becomes the second member of Butler's freshman class to declare his intent to transfer, following Jamie Kaiser Jr. This announcement comes a day after head coach Thad Matta announced his retirement. The transfer portal will not be open until April 7. McCaffery joined Butler as a four-star recruit, part of the school's most highly regarded recruiting class. The 6-foot-8 forward appeared in only nine games before complications from emergency dental surgery caused him to lose approximately 15 pounds, prompting him to seek a medical redshirt. During his limited playing time, he averaged 2.8 points and 1.6 rebounds in a reserve role.#field_of_68 #butler #jack_mccaffery #thad_matta #transfer_portal
