The fall transfer window doesn’t open for college football players until Dec. 9, a day after the playoff bracket is announced and bowl matchups are locked into place. But graduate transfers can enter the portal at any time, and other players can announce their plans to transfer ahead of time.

The Wolverines already are losing their top receiver to the transfer portal as junior Tyler Morris has decided to finish off his career elsewhere. Now the maize and blue are losing a reserve running back.

The Boilermakers' backup quarterback, who nearly rallied the team to victory at Illinois, will enter his name in the portal to gauge his options.
