The transfer portal is becoming more widely utilized than ever, and when a head coach leaves for another opening, the usage of the portal only skyrockets.

Such is unfolding at Kent State, which saw five-year head coach Sean Lewis make the uncharacteristic transition from FBS head coach to an assistant coach Monday evening, when he accepted the offensive coordinator job on Deion Sanders’ staff at Colorado.

Prior to Lewis’ departure, two-time First Team All-MAC wide receiver Dante Cephas announced his entry into the transfer portal on Sunday. But the portal usage only increased for Kent State following Lewis’ stunning move to Boulder, especially on the offensive side of the ball.
