Mehki Miller, DB who left Miami Oh for the Portal announces he got an offer from UND

Damn I just saw he enrolled Miami OH on Dec 29, 2021?

Gopher Ky Thoma RB has entered the transfer portal. He finished his redshirt season with 166 carries for 824 yds. and 6 TD. Oklahoma’s QB Caleb Williams entered too. Quinn Carrel from Notre Dame ….OT also entered. Must be a busy time in the portal!

just a question - Where's Otis?

Not to be a joker or anything but I am generally interested in where he lands. I do wish him the best and appreciated his time here at UND so that is why I am interested in where he lands.

My early guess is either back at UND or in the southeast US.  Not a lot of options out there right now.

I'd be fairly surprised to see the former.
I think once a player has let the coaches know that they are looking at transferring, they wish them well and move on.
Maybe he does end up back, but I would guess that scholarship money has been allocated elsewhere by now.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t play football again.  The deadline to enroll for the spring semester I assume is this week.  Without enrollment, he misses out on spring ball and that’s big for a D1 transfer. The problem with Otis is he was good but not great enough for teams to take a chance on.  Too much baggage for most teams to deal with.  Otis is a good kid but listened to the wrong people.  UND gave him a chance along with 25 carries a game, sorry another FCS team wont do this and he is not great enough for an FBS team to deal with.

ND1…. Good assessment. I truly wish him well. I hope things work out for him. Any chance UND keeps him? I am not familiar with how the transfer portal works if you don’t get selected.

I don't think there is any way he stays at UND.  I am quite sure we have no interest!

Most colleges have a policy of not taking players back once they enter the TP and that's the right call.   I certainly hope UND doesn't allow him back.  The idea of letting players test the waters and coming running back is not a good idea.  And I sure wouldn't want a situation like Bubba had with Grady, always trying to get him back.

I hate extending a thread about a former player - but thinking he might end up at a higher level DII school - Mankato, Sioux Falls, thinking grades might also be an issue.

Not surprised by this if true.

But does he still have any eligibility?
