UM / College Transfer Portal

Anyone know much about Qb Jack Sears? Former 4 star from San Clemente HS, originally signed with USC, then entered portal first of month from Boise State. Has one year to play one.

I’m thinking Cooper from WSU may sign with a MW school.
Sears left USC when it was clear he would not start, then committed to San Diego St, then reneged on that commitment and signed with Boise, and is now transferring from there because he is not the starter. I guess with only one year left he wouldn't be able to transfer again should he not win the starting job.

Thanks. He looks like a prime candidate for a team like the Griz; but if he burned San Diego State, I doubt Bobby has interest. Or does he? Lol

I think he’s exactly what we’re looking for. He started 2 games in 2020 after Hank Bachmeier got COVID, and had a really good game against Air Force, and then his second start, he got knocked out of the game with a concussion and that was the end of him.

This year, Boise State had a coaching change, and the head coach gave him a fair shot until an injury in fall camp basically derailed his chances. He’s gotten in in mop up duty here and there this year.

Likely just wants to get on the field for his senior season. He appears to be a pretty good QB when he’s healthy, but it seems like he’s always battling injuries. If he were to not get hurt next year, I think he could excel for us or wherever he goes.

I was in the unofficial portal today looking at players I thought we could use short term. Being a former 4 star, I knew little about him. If he wants to play and stay in the west, we do make sense. Would’ve a good 1 year bridge while Britt and Huot get ready for a 2023 battle. Thanks

Digger hit it here. Bobby is all about connections, at this point. So, if he doesn't have ties to the player, former coach,etc, he's not interested and I don't blame him.

Nobody portals INTO Kansas. Hell, even Dorothy portaled OUT. :lol: :lol:

She slunk back in though.

So we'll see if they get the message that Dorothy got

There's no place like home
There's no place like home
There's no place...

Bobby has “connections” all over the place that only means he can call up a coach there or has a previous recruiting relationship with the young man. That is also not a hard, fast rule always for Bobby depending on need and talent. He took Forbes with little connection to the coaching staff at Nebraska or a recruiting relationship.

It’s open doors here for a QB transfer maybe even two of them. Looking at Coach Rosey’s twitter they are casting a huge wide net. No stone will go unturned so Sears or Cooper all make sense.

Probably not. He’s in the same class as Britt and he kind of burned his bridge when he de-committed. I think we need somebody with more experience.

After a year in the Oregon State weight room he’s only 175 lbs? That’s pretty scrawny for 6’2”

If burning your bridges is going to a Local p5 conference team then we may need to reevaluate recruiting, yes same class as Britt but at this point we have got to do better than a backup QB on a subpar Northern Iowa team if we can’t do better than that it’s gonna be a long season

If I’m not mistaken, 24/7 and rivals profiles, typically don’t update after high school.


OSU roster says 6’1 187

He didn’t burn a bridge here. He got a power 5 offer from local school, the coaches here understood.

It’s about bringing in talent to compete.

Any links to the portal? All I can find is 1-A only or 1-AA from last year.
This is pretty much it. The only time they cover the FCS is if a guy drops down to FCS.

Yeah, that's the 1-A version I was talking about, with the 1-AA from last year below.
