TRANSFER REPORT
Matteo Rodriguez
Stetson transfer QB Matteo Rodriguez committed to the JP Bandits Post-Graduate program over the weekend. He told me he’s looking for playing time so he can show FBS or FCS coaches updated film in January.
“Obviously it feels like a step back, but I had no other choice with the situation I am in. I am a young guy with four years of eligibility left that has gone through a knee injury my freshman year, so I do not have any film of what I can actually do out there.” - Matteo Rodriguez
Jack Grusser
Jack Grusser (stats) entered the transfer portal as a quarterback last week after moving to wide receiver in his true freshman season at Michigan. He originally committed to Harvard as a 2023 3⭐ QB prospect from New Jersey before flipping to the Wolverines. Grusser has already been contacted by three FBS and two FCS programs and told me he’s looking for good academics at his next school.
