The University at Buffalo football program continued to experience departures after a coaching change in January and after UB's spring game on April 27th.
The window for college football players to enter their names into the transfer portal closed on April 30, but it's possible UB will add players to the roster. Students already in the database can enroll at a new school and remain eligible for the 2024 season.
The Buffalo News will be tracking players moving into and out of the UB football program ahead of the 2024 season, which opens Aug. 29 against Lafayette at UB Stadium.
