For at least the second time this offseason, Bowling Green has seen its football roster pared.
Earlier this week, it was reported that Torrian Hampton has opted to enter his name into the NCAA transfer base. It was subsequently confirmed by a Bowling Green official that the linebacker has opted to leave the Falcons football team.
Now, for what’s seemingly becoming a daily disclaimer when it comes to transfers.
As we’ve stated myriad times in the past, a player can remove his name from the portal and remain at the same school. At this point, though, other programs are permitted to contact a player without receiving permission from his current football program.
NCAA bylaws also permit schools to pull a portal entrant’s scholarship at the end of the semester in which he entered it.
Hampton was a two-star 2016 signee. He took a redshirt his true freshman season.
The past three seasons, Hampton played in a combined 28 games. The Florida native started two of those contests. Both of those came during the 2018 season.
In late February, one of Hampton’s teammates, Caleb Bright, announced medical concerns were forcing him to retire from the sport.
Bowling Green is coming off a 3-9 football campaign in 2019. Since winning 10 games in Dino Babers’ final season in 2015, the Falcons have won a combined 12 games the past four years.
