He appears to be ruling out Marshall. The reporter noted that: "He indicated he would not be interested in going to a ?mid-major program,? and emphasized that his preference is to remain at Shepherd."
Division II?s best football player has put his name in the NCAA Transfer Portal.
That doesn?t mean Shepherd?s Tyson Bagent is going anywhere for his final season of eligibility, however.
It?s more of a fact-finding mission for the quarterback.
?I?m not going anywhere,? Bagent told The Journal. ?Me, my grandfather and father wanted to see if there?s anything out there.
?I love Shepherd too much.?
The 6-foot-3, 215-pound Bagent said it would take a big-time offer to pry him away from Shepherd, where he threw for 5,000 yards and 53 touchdowns this past season in leading the Rams to the national semifinals and won the school?s first Harlon Hill Trophy as the top player in Division II.
Bagent said it would take a school like Alabama, which is playing in Monday?s national championship game, or LSU to wrestle him away from Shepherd.
?I?m staying at Shepherd unless (Alabama) coach (Lou) Saban comes chipping away,? Bagent said.
He said he?ll leave his name in the portal for about two weeks to see what might develop.
He indicated he would not be interested in going to a ?mid-major program,? and emphasized that his preference is to remain at Shepherd.
