SMU forward Jahmar Young enters NCAA Transfer Portal
SMU forward Jahmar Young, Jr. entered the NCAA Transfer Portal on Wednesday, a source told On The Pony Express. Young played in 26 games last year, averaging two points, 1.7 rebounds and 0.5 blocked shots.
The 6-9, 215-pound forward from Oak Cliff, Texas played in 59 career games with the Mustangs. He joined the program in 2018-19, playing in 22 games. After redshirting, he played in 11 games in 2020-21.
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.
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.
