Don’t get it twisted, the Army Black Knights aren’t immune to being impacted by the portal movement. However, there is a uniqueness relative to the transfer portal when it comes to Army West Point football.
Yes, the academy does have folks entering through the transfer portal, just none in football. The “challenge” is that anyone entering USMA starts over as a plebe including CBT (Cadet Basic Training).
As such, it appears that it is a one-way street, in which the street sign points to the player transferring from the Black Knights’ program to other potential opportunities. But as Coach Monken pointed out during his Army-Navy post-game comments … players aren’t entering West Point via the portal and there’s a reason for that.
Well, this week two Army freshmen players entered the transfer portal. You had QB Champ Harris, who saw quality time as a backup to Bryson Daily, but actually started two games this season and one of those was against Top 20 ranked, LSU, as well as UMass.
The other frosh enter his name is linebacker Tano Letuli, who played in 11 games and had 12 tackles this season.
