DL Paul Akere, who had a breakout season for the Lions in 2021, has received some of the most impressive offers in the transfer portal so far.
On Thursday, he tweeted the most compelling offer so far in my book; from the University of Virginia. It's compelling because I have deep ties to that school and also because standout Dartmouth OL John Paul Flores, (brother of CU OL Charlie Flores '18), announced his commitment to the Cavaliers this week.
It would be cool to see not one, but two Ivy transfers making an impact for UVA this fall.
On a related topic, a big question right now is how many CU players currently in the transfer portal will follow Dartmouth WR/KR Jamal Cooney's example and decide to return to their Ivy homes if the pickings seem too slim when it comes to transfer offers? Many of the Lions in the portal actually don't have any Ivy eligibility left, but for those who do this is an option.
We'll try to get this all sorted out in the coming weeks, but don't be surprised if we don't have real handle on the Lion veteran roster until the summer.

This ought to put to rest the troll comments on Voy about Ivy guys not being good enough to play in the Power Five. Akere is a terrific player, good luck to him at UVa or wherever he lands.
