The Tulane Green Wave have relied on a proven strategy of identifying perhaps undervalued FCS players as they continue to bolster their roster through the transfer portal. Their latest signing illustrates how prudent their efforts have been after landing FCS All-American linebacker Dallas Winner-Johnson from the Missouri State Bears.

The Tulane Green Wave had a remarkable 2024 season under head coach Jon Sumrall and finished the regular season with a 9-3 record. They also became eligible for the American Athletic Conference Championship Game.

NEW ORLEANS – Tulane quarterback Ty Thompson withdrew his name from the transfer portal on Tuesday, according to a source. Thompson has one year of eligibility remaining. He originally entered the portal December 11th, and still started for the Green Wave in the team’s 33-8 loss to Florida in the Gasparilla Bowl.

The Tulane Green Wave continue to reload in the transfer portal and compete in the NIL era of college football.

Tulane coach Jon Sumrall said he wanted two quarterbacks with plenty of starting experience and a third with college playing experience out of the transfer portal, and that is exactly what he has gotten with the addition of a former Ball State starter on Sunday.
