Two More Portals
Two more BG players in the portal...one of them a significant contributor. That was Jalen Huskey, who was first-team All-MAC this year as a true sophomore. In today's world, a guy like that starts to look around, maybe he hears some things, and off he goes.
It's our second loss in the d-backfield. You wonder about DeShawn Jones, who was behind Huskey on the depth chart and left one day before him...I don't know, I'd think the picture would look different.
Anyway, best of luck to Jalen. He played really well for us and he's taking what's available to him in today's world. I hope he enjoys success.
The other is Hayden Timosciek, who will live forever in Falcon lore as the QB who was pressed into action in the Big House and played his very first collegiate snaps in that environment. He says he wants to transfer to big a TE....apparently we didn't have any interest and so he is off as well.
Best of luck to him as well.
It's discouraging. The redeeming thing is that everyone in the MAC is going through it. Even the Rockets have lost 2 all-MAC performers today.
We will see how big the impact is. Remember, the portal is open until after Christmas. Last year, a few of our guys left on the final days.

You recruit them, you develop them and then they leave for somewhere else. What fan of any team could like a system where somebody is always coming after your players 24/7/365? It has caused my interest in the sport to wane significantly because of the chaos of it all.
Huskey would be a big loss. Ta'Ron Keith is getting more attention from fans because his play was a little more visible, but Huskey... that's the one that stings.
I agree with you that, all things considered, portal activity could be a lot worse for Bowling Green.
