It’s been a rough last few weeks for the Kent State football program
It’s starting punter the past three years, Derek Adams, transferred to Northwestern. Duke linebacker Jacob Morgenstern, who had committed to Kent State football in March, opted late last month to transfer to Texas Tech instead.
Now, 247Sports.com has reported, quarterback Marquez Glover has entered his name into the NCAA transfer database. As he’ll be just a redshirt sophomore entering 2020, Glover will very likely have to sit out the 202 season. That would leave him with two years of eligibility moving forward in 2021.
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.
Grover was a member of the Kent State football Class of 2018. The Florida prospect didn’t see the field in the regular season during his time with the MAC school. He did, though, show flashes of talent during the 2019 spring game.
Kent State is coming off just its fifth bowl-eligible football season in the past four decades. The Golden Flashes also captured their first-ever bowl win following the 2019 regular season.
