TRANSFER REPORT
Ashton Frye
Jacksonville State QB Ashton Frye (stats) entered the transfer portal this week looking for a spread/shotgun offense and a team with a good culture. He told he was in the mix to be in the top three in the QB room but would have a better opportunity to be the guy this year at a different program. Frye has three years of eligibility remaining and has been in communication with Alabama State and Grambling State the most since entering the transfer portal. Jacksonville State is undergoing a significant overhaul of the QB room with Frye, Zion Webb (stats) and Earl Woods III (stats) out and Zion Turner (stats), Griffin Brewster (stats) and Tyler Huff transferring in. Huff is likely the favorite based on experience.
Jim Ogle
Former Louisiana-Monroe 2024 3⭐ signee Jim Ogle entered the transfer portal and committed to Murray State this week. He flipped from Troy to ULM right before National Signing Day but is off to the Racers to begin his college football career. Ogle told me he committed to Murray State because he could not pass up an opportunity to play for his dad, who was recently hired to be Murray State’s co-offensive coordinator.
Xavier Williams
Former UCF QB/DB Xavier Williams (stats) entered the transfer portal this week and told me he’s looking to play quarterback at his next stop. He has two years of eligibility remaining and was moved to defensive back this spring. Williams saw some game action at QB during his time at Charlotte before transferring to the Knights.
Rent Montie
Lafayette transfer Rent Montie committed to Duke earlier this week with a preferred walk-on position. He told me he’s excited to join such a good QB room, play in Coach Jonathan Brewer’s system, get a great education and work his tail off to help get this team to an ACC championship. Montie said his decision came down to Duke and FCS programs from the Pioneer League. He said he entered the transfer portal for education reasons with at least two years of eligibility remaining. Maalik Murphy (stats) is the favorite to start for the Blue Devils this fall.
