Former North Texas QB Chandler Rogers commits to Cal

Former North Texas QB Chandler Rogers announced his commitment to Cal Monday afternoon.

The 6’0 200 QB will have 1 year of eligibility remaining.

“Cal has a really great team coming back. I have a great relationship with the current coaches there and they plan for me to succeed. They have a great tradition of players that have come through. If you look at their facilities they want for nothing which is huge. They are going to the ACC which is a great conference to play in, being able to play p5 will allow me to showcase myself as one of the best QBs in the nation. Then you talk about the location of Berkeley , it’s right next to San Francisco and Oakland. There are truly a lot of things to do out there.”

Transfer portal background information

The NCAA Transfer Portal, which covers every NCAA sport at the Division I, II and III levels, is a private database with names of student-athletes who wish to transfer. It is not accessible to the public.

The process of entering the portal is done through a school’s compliance office. Once a player provides written notification of an intent to transfer, the office enters the player’s name in the database and everything is off and running. The compliance office has 48 hours to comply with the player’s request and that request cannot be refused.

Once a player’s name shows up in the portal, other schools can contact the player. Players can change their minds at any point and withdraw from the portal. However, once a player enters the portal, the current scholarship no longer has to be honored. In other words, if a player enters the portal but decides to stay, the school is not obligated to provide a scholarship anymore.

The database is a normal database, sortable by a variety of topics, including (of course) sport and name. A player’s individual entry includes basic details such as contact info, whether the player was on scholarship and whether the player is transferring as a graduate student.

A player can ask that a “do not contact” tag be placed on the report. In those instances, the players don’t want to be contacted by schools unless they’ve initiated the communication.
