Damuni in portal as grad transfer per his social media. DL Jacob Katona in portal per 24/7 portal tracker. PWO who is an academic sophomore?

Seven others are also graduating, will play somewhere as grad students. Shame on the Mercury-News for this clickbait headline.

Puzzled as to why you're shaming the Merc-News. Is the headline factually incorrect or misleading?  As for click-bait, headline writers are valued and remain employed by their skill to attract readership. It's in the business model.  :)

Here’s the email I got. IMHO players who will be grad students nexy year should be treated differently. Not all Stanford grads can get in to Stanford grad school. Stanford may not offer the field they want to pursue. Some don’t have the grades, recommendations, etc.  I have stories but I won’t tell them because I respect their privacy. 

Re the headline, it should have included the very important info that all eight of the players mentioned were graduating. If that violates the contract terms of headline writers, so be it. You might look into the subscription options for the Merc. PM me and I’ll send you a link to one of my articles about this.

OH! My bad, Jamesy. I should have read more carefully.

Holy crap. What a mess.

By the by, I am demarcating all declared transfer portals in the personnel grid.

-m.

Where can we see this?

If you look on the 2022 Stanford Football Personnel grid, you'll see in the footnote legend that a carat (^) after a name signifies that they are in the transfer portal.

-m.

OK, found it there.  Great work.  Do any of the 5th year players have a 6th year of eligibility (due to the Covid year).  If so, are any of them expected to return?  

So far, it appears that only Metcalf is a non-graduate portal entrant.

Literally everybody except for Fields and Williamson has eligibility and people talking about guys graduating as a reason to move on have the mentality that has led to the gutting of Stanford football’s roster for the foreseeable future.

See my reply above.
