<a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/purdue-boilermakers/">Purdue</a> receiver <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/cj-smith-19941/">CJ Smith</a> has entered the NCAA transfer portal. He spent just one season with the Boilermakers after playing the first two years of his college career at <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/georgia-bulldogs/">Georgia</a>. 



Smith appeared in only three games this past season to finish with six catches for 69 yards. He also had one carry that went for four yards.

At Georgia, Smith appeared in 11 games in 2022 and 2023, using a redshirt during his true freshman season. He finished his career in Athens with six catches for 116 yards. 



Smith played high school football for Mt. Dora in Orlando, Florida, where he was a four-star prospect in the 2022 class. He ranked as the No. 311 overall player and No. 52 receiver in the cycle <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/rankings/industry-player/football/2022/">according to the On3 Industry Ranking</a>, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.



Purdue is coming off of a 1-11 finish to the 2024 season, and losing a player like Smith certainly doesn’t help. He is now the 26th player the Boilermakers have lost to the portal this season. 



The portal officially opened 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.



So far this cycle, 2,119 players have entered the transfer portal with 624 of those already having committed to new schools.

<a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/purdue-boilermakers/">Purdue</a> defensive back <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/nyland-green-94049/">Nyland Green</a> has entered the NCAA transfer portal.



Green had the most productive year of his career during his lone season with the Boilermakers. He totaled 23 tackles, a pair of sacks and a forced fumble.



A former four-star recruit who began his career at <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/georgia-bulldogs/">Georgia</a>, he spent three seasons in Athens as a part of the 2020 recruiting class.



He was a top 50 recruit in his class, according to the On3 Industry Rankings, which is a proprietary algorithm that compiles ratings and rankings from all four primary recruiting media services. He was the No. 3 cornerback in his recruiting cycle.
