In QB updates, Austin Kendall (West Virginia after beginning at Oklahoma) is transferring to Louisiana Tech where he should compete for the starting job. Kendall was one of the top remaining QBs in the portal. Tevaka Tuioti (New Mexico) is still in limbo for this season after dealing with numerous concussions.

In RB news, Mikey Henderson (Oklahoma H-back) was dismissed from the team as part of the same legal allegations that led to the dismissal of teammates Seth McGowan and Trejan Bridges. Keyon Henry-Brooks (Vanderbilt) will transfer to Louisiana Tech where he should compete to be RB1.

In WR & TE updates, two high-profile transfers found homes with Jake Smith (Texas) being the latest Longhorn to head to USC, and Demetris Robertson staying in the SEC as he went from Georgia to Auburn.

July 1 was the deadline to enter the transfer portal for immediately eligibility this season without a waiver, so entries have slowed down. Notables entering the portal were WR Kam Scott (Houston, formerly Missouri).

Announcing transfer destinations were RB Stephon Huderson (Tulane to McNeese State), WR Jake Smith (Texas to USC), RB Keyon Henry-Brooks (Vanderbilt to Louisiana Tech), WR Jay Brunelle (Notre Dame to Yale), QB Austin Kendall (West Virginia to Louisiana Tech), & WR Demetris Robertson (Georgia to Auburn).
