New Hampshire QB Max Brosmer enters NCAA Transfer Portal

New Hampshire quarterback Max Brosmer has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal, On3 has learned. Brosmer will be a graduate transfer.

Brosmer, who first came to UNH from the state of Georgia as a high schooler in 2019, played just one game across the 2020 and 2021 seasons due to Covid and then an injury ahead of the 2021 campaign. He came back to start the last two seasons for UNH. In 36 career games, Brosmer has completed 62% of his passes for 8713 yards and 70 touchdowns to 25 interceptions, 12 of which came in 2019. He threw for 29 touchdowns to five interceptions in 11 games in 2023.

He played high school football at Centenniel (Ga.) High School, where he was a largely-unknown prospect in the 2019 recruiting class, per the On3 Industry Rankings and other services.

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.

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.
