It was inevitable that players would begin to transfer as fall practice begins and the depth chart becomes more clear. Although practice hasn't officially begun, safety Davon Jacobs and offensive lineman Ryan Brodie have both elected to transfer from the program.
The news of Jacobs was first reported by nj.com. He started four games last year at safety opposite Anthony Cioffi until he suffered a concussion and Kiy Hester took over for the rest of the season as Jacobs struggled to get back to 100%. He is a fifth-year senior with one year of eligibiliy left but will still need to graduate before being able to transfer and use his one year of eligibility immediately.
