NC State QB MJ Morris plans to enter Transfer Portal

NC State QB MJ Morris announced his intentions to enter the transfer portal Thursday morning.

The 6’2 205 QB will have 3 years of eligibility remaining.

In 2023 he went 3-1 as NC State’s starter with 7 TDs before redshirting.

Morris sent a statement to On3:

Jeremiah 29:11. 

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, Plans to give you hope and a future.”

I want to thank Jesus Christ for being my Lord and personal Savior. I also would like to thank my teammates and Coach DD for loving and standing by my side through the good times and adversity. I will always love and never forget y’all. Finally, I want to thank WolfPack Nation for their love and support. May God continue to bless you all. 

After many conversations and prayer, I’ve come to the heartfelt decision to enter my name into the transfer portal with three years of eligibility. 

May God’s will be done in my life🙏🏽 

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.

He currently does not have an On3 NIL Valuation publicly listed. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
