From Axios:
More than 3,000 football players across all NCAA divisions have entered the transfer portal since Aug. 1. That includes over 1,400 FBS players — an average of 11 per team.
Among those who have chosen a new home in recent days is a former Cornell wide receiver, who follows in Drew Estrada's footsteps by transferring from the Ivy League to a Texas school. From a TCU website (LINK):
Curtis Raymond III recorded 27 receptions for 515 yards and four touchdowns during the 2021 season. The 6-foot-4 senior wide receiver from Dripping Springs, Texas will enter the TCU football program with two years of eligibility remaining. Raymond was a big-play threat for the Cornell offense this season, averaging 19.1 yards per reception.
Speaking of Cornell and the portal, there's this from Victory Bell Rings (LINK):
Penn State Football is squarely in the mix for their top offensive linemen target in the transfer portal Hunter Nourzad who released his top five schools via Twitter on Monday.
Nourzad, the former Cornell offensive tackle who has had a steady stream of power five offers since entering the transfer portal in November has narrowed down his list of potential suitors to five. The Nittany Lions checked in on the list along with Auburn, Virginia Tech, Iowa and Illinois.
Green Alert Take: The italics are mine and they are a reminder that even struggling Ivy League teams have some serious talent.

EXTRA POINT
The morning sky over our Vermont hillside was dramatic and that sent me scurrying outside with my camera. While I was at it, I shot this picture, which answers the question a few of you had about why our huge solar tracker doesn't get blown away in a heavy wind. It is pretty much vertical when the sun is low, but once it reads the wind exceeding a certain MPH it "stows" itself by going horizontal as in the shot below. As I write this it's back aiming at the sun.
