Florida WR Daejon Reynolds of Loganville, GA announced that he would be entering the transfer portal Wednesday night.

The 6-foot-2, 210 pounder sent a message to On3 regarding his entrance into the portal:

First I want to thank everyone in the Florida football program for everything they’ve done up to this point. For helping me academically and athletically from the strength staff, all the way down to the trainers.

The relationships I’ve made with great people and the memories with teammates that I can call my brothers is like no other.

With that being said, I would like to announce that I have officially entered the NCAA transfer portal with 3 years of NCAA eligibility, and where ever my next destination is , they will honestly get not only one of the best players on the field, but an even better person off the field.

-Daejon Reynolds

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.
