Pinging The Portal: Offers And More Continue on Transfer Portal Day Two

CINCINNATI — We start the second day of Pinging The Portal with Cincinnati welcoming in Malachi Hosley for a visit. The electric Penn running back is coming to town Dec. 18-19. Hosley is also visiting Virginia and Georgia Tech.

The 5-10, 195-pound talent ran for 1,192 yards and nine touchdowns this past season on 6.2 yards per carry at the FCS level.

He has two year's of eligibility left after earning an elite 88.8 PFF grade on 444 snaps in 2024.

Another Cincinnati offer went out to Old Dominion edge rusher Jaylon White-McClain. The sophomore holds two years of eligibility after notching 41 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles last season.

It amounted to a career-high PFF grade (72.2 overall), and snap count (510). The 6-4, 254-pound hybrid player could do serious damage alongside Dontay Corleone.

Cincinnati is welcoming in Coastal Carolina transfer cornerback Matthew McDoom in for a visit. 247Sports's Matt Zenitz reported the undated visit from the All-Sun Belt corner.

McDoom tallied 36 tackles, three interceptions, and 10 pass breakups last season. It finalized into a stellar 84.5 PFF grade on 547 snaps in 2024.

He could be an ideal replacement for Jordan Young as UC's top corner at 5-11, 170 pounds with strong ball skills.

Cincinnati added a safety offer to the mix on Tuesday in Northern Illinois's Santanna Banner. The 6-3, 202-pound playmaker has three years of eligibility remaining after bursting on the scene during his redshirt freshman year with 54 tackles, four pass breakups, a forced fumble and one interception.

It calculated out to a 72.7 PFF grade on 545 snaps in 2024.

The Bearcats are taking a step forward in securing Caleb Goodie's services from the transfer portal. 247Sports's Collin Kennedy reported the Colorado State wide receiver is visiting Cincinnati this weekend.

The 6-1, 170-pound talent holds two years of eligibility after reeling in 21 catches for 436 yards and four touchdowns in 2024.

That production amounted to a 65.4 PFF grade on 477 snaps (nine snaps as a freshman). Cincinnati's only upperclassman at the position is Tony Johnson, making wide receiver a clear need among other reasons.

Cincinnati has also lined up a visit with Illinois State defensive end Steven Curtis. He posted the news on X as another edge rusher Cincinnati is interested in to mark a needed position.

Curtis posted 47 total tackles, five sacks, and three forced fumbles this past season. The sophomore holds two more seasons of eligibility amidst a move to the FBS level. He earned a 63.6 PFF grade on 630 snaps in 2024 at 6-5, 255 pounds.

Fresno State cornerback Julian Neal received a Cincinnati offer on Tuesday night. The 6-2, 200-pound junior holds one more year of eligibility following a 2024 season with 35 tackles, one sacks, two interceptions, and five pass breakups.

The veteran corner played by far his most snaps in a season (548) and earned a 69.2 PFF grade along the way.

The Tuesday action rounded out with an offer for Texas State right tackle Alex Harkey. The 6-6, 305-pound mauler could be a plug-and-play starter protecting Brendan Sorsby on the outside.

The junior holds one more year of eligibility after posting a stellar 81.5 PFF grade on 876 snaps this past season (76-plus PFF grade in pass and run blocking).
