Despite Transfer Portal Opening, Several Key Scarlet Knights Stay Put

The regular season in college football has come to a close, and following Championship Saturday, the transfer portal has finally opened. Despite bowl season looming, many players are already focused on finding new homes for next season, whether that be through the portal or the upcoming NFL Draft in April. A few Scarlet Knights have entered the portal (almost exclusively reserves), but several key players have announced plans to return for 2024.

Tyreem Powell was arguably Rutgers’ best defender before he suffered a hand injury vs Indiana that ended his season. The junior linebacker had 53 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 passes defended, and a forced fumble in just 8 games in 2023.
