The culture of college football has drastically changed with the ongoing swing of both the Transfer Portal and NIL.
In 2024, the Army Black Knights finished the season ranked No. 19th in the country. However, it was somewhat bitter-sweet, as the Black Knights lost their 1,000 yard running back Kanye Udoh to Arizona State
While most head coaches, college administrators or should we say general managers now have to worry during the season, playoff time and bowl runs as well … worried and/or wondering which players will be pulled from their current roster.
If you listen to the vibes from fans, especially the older generation, that absolutely don’t embrace this current culture and mindset of the so-called “student-athlete”.
Although within the ranks of the United States Military Academy at West Point, the NIL is not applicable. However, as noted, the transfer portal is, albeit to date, it has been a one-way maneuverer. Meaning, players have transferred out, but none to date have transferred in.
Unlike most programs, Army does not and has not been impacted by the tons of players each year who leave their respective programs, as well as enter.
However, today, the sophomore OLB Elo Modozie, who would have been the third returning regular starter from this Black Knights defensive unit with 14 starts and 527 defensive snaps at the DOG position … has as of today, submitted his name into the portal. He was the team’s primary edge rusher and has a career total of 43 career tackles to include 9.0 TFLs and 7.5 Sacks. He was also credited with 1 Pass Defended and 2 blocked kicks.
