Welcome to today's edition of "As the Portal Turns."  In the last day or so, Andrew Bench and Nick Mosley have entered the portal.

Bench is a TE from Elmore, OH, who came to BG on the Dline and played there before moving to TE.  He was mostly a blocker, but caught 16 passes including a 31-yard TD against South Alabama. He's behind Fannin and Gazerek on the depth chart, his snap counts have gone down every year.  He has 2 years of eligibility.

Mosley is from Columbus and a RB.  He had 77 carries in 2021 at 4.4 per attempt, he carried only 23 last year and 8 times this year, and DNP after the fourth game of the season.  He could redshirt this year and have two more years.

Best to them both moving forward.

On the flip side, BG is starting to run some un-portal announcements....players who are staying.  That's a great tactic and did lift my spirits a little.  Oladokun, Bazelak, Orth and Wollschlager have joined in to date. Hope to see more.

The pace has slowed down a little, but this is an ongoing issue.  You have the first wave, and then you have people trying to fill the holes created by that wave.  Which BG is doing as well.

And the signing deadline is less than two weeks away.
