Key’s departure marks the second notable portal announcement for the Wildcats. Defensive tackle Keeshawn Silver also entered the transfer portal. The former five-star recruit and North Carolina transfer will have two years of eligibility remaining.
The transfer portal officially opens on Monday, Dec. 9, 2024. More than 2,800 FBS scholarship players entered their names into the NCAA’s transfer database during the 2023-24 school year. Removing those who withdrew or went pro, the final total sat at 2,707 transfers. That means roughly 25% of all FBS scholarship players hit free agency in one year.
