LB Carter out of draft; QB Mensah to portal … We have a couple of deadlines coming up over the next 24 hours or so. On the one hand, the 3-day window of opportunity for underclassmen who applied to the NFL for early entry to the 2026 draft to withdraw their names ends on Saturday and at least one underclassman has in fact pulled out of the draft as Tennessee LB Arion Carter has said that he has withdrawn his name and instead popped his name into the transfer portal. And speaking of the portal, it closes at midnight tonight with at least one prominent new addition as star Duke QB, who had said he was staying with the Blue Devils, has now reportedly said he’ll be transferring, very possibly to Miami.
