Jamil

Muhammad

The former fifth-round Eagles wideout did not have any NFL playing time in 2024 after a 7/41/1 debut for the Eagles in 2024. He spent the whole year with the Panthers practice squad and could have a chance to battle with lower-rung receivers like Brycen Tremayne for a roster spot in 2026.

Schultz believes that Brown (6'5/185) holds a slight edge over Jamil Muhammed, who transferred in from Vanderbilt. Brown was a player that once had offers from schools like Alabama, Vanderbilt and Rutgers, so there’s a bit of pedigree for the signal-caller; despite the fact he hasn’t taken a snap in college football. Whomever takes over has big shoes to fill, as Dan Ellington was one of the better Group of 5 quarterbacks and recently was named an offensive assistant for the program. Because of the lack of spring practices, it’s hard to imagine that Brown doesn’t start under center.

News broke of Muhammad’s trip into the transfer portal near the end of June. The 6-foot-2, 208-pounder initially signed on with Vanderbilt as a three-star recruit over the winter, but opted to back out of his NLI after just a few months in the program. He will be required to sit out the fall campaign with Georgia State, after which he will look to make some noise in 2020.

Ah, the portal. Muhammad was a three-star signing by the Commodores, and before he even has stepped onto campus, the 6-foot-2, 208-pound quarterback has entered the portal. Important reminder: putting your name in does not always equate to transferring, and a player can always remove themself from the list. If he transfers to an FBS school, Muhammad will have to sit out the 2019 season unless he receives a waiver.
