Bowling Green transfer receiver Tyrone Broden has barely been in the portal for 24 hours, but he is quickly become one of the hottest names. After entering the portal on Sunday evening, the 6-foot-7 Broden has already racked up several offers from Power 5 programs.

Late Monday evening, Broden announced that he had received five more offers from the likes of Arkansas, Houston, Oklahoma, Texas A&M and West Virginia. The news came after Broden also announced an offer from Deion Sanders to play for Colorado earlier in the day.

Tyrone Broden played high school football at West Bloomfield in Michigan, where he was a three-star prospect. He was the No. 254 wide receiver recruit in the 2019 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Moreover, Tyrone Broden finished the season with 32 catches for 506 yards and seven touchdowns before deciding to transfer, and was listed as tied for the tallest receiver in the FBS this year.

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 β€œdo 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.

The portal has been around since Oct. 15, 2018 and the new calendar cycle within the portal begins each August. For example, the 2021-22 cycle started Aug. 1. During the 2020-21 cycle, 2,626 FBS football players entered the transfer portal (including walk-ons). That comes after 1,681 entered during the 2019-20 cycle and 1,709 during the abbreviated 2018-19 cycle. In comparison, 1,833 Division I basketball players entered the portal during the 2020-21 cycle after totals of 1,020 in 2019-20 and 1,063 in 2018-19.
