Wide receiver Audric Harris was the first one to enter the transfer portal this time for the University of Washington and within two days of the talent grab opening he landed with Hawaii, reuniting with his high school quarterback. He was one of the lucky ones.

Of the 21 former Huskies who have gone this route, Harris and 16 others have found new schools. They're the lucky ones.

So what happens to the seven who remain in limbo?

While they still could sign with a new team, chances are these guys might have made their situations much worse by leaving Montlake.

National reports indicate playersare suffering seller's remorse, finding they've been left in the lurch.

Take the Parker twins, Jayvon and Armon, for instance.

The junior defensive tackles entered the transfer portal late last week, both coming off season-ending injuries, and always determined to play together.

While they reportedly lined up visits right away, the chances of them together finding a new school that will give them scholarships in a package deal, such as the UW, are fairly slim.

And will their injury histories greatly limit their options trying to go elsewhere alone?

Other former UW players who are without a school are senior offensive tackle Max McCree, redshirt freshman defensive tackle Dominic Macon and junior wide receiver Kevin Green Jr.

The 6-foot-6, 302-pound McCree is trying to sell himself as an eight-game starter over two seasons for the Huskies, yet a player who spent most of that time injured. So he's still available.

Macon was well down the depth chart and the 6-foot-3, 310-pounder didn't appear in any games.

Finally, the 5-foot-11, 165-pound Green hasn't been seriously in the mix for playing time since suffering a knee in jury in August 2024. He, too, might be a hard sell.

Meantime, Harris is all locked in at Hawaii, where he'll play with his quarterback Micah Alejado from their days at Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas. In 2023, he caught 51 passes for 1,051 yards and 13 touchdowns as a senior, likely most of them coming from Alejado.

Harris walked away from the Huskies after catching 7 balls for 161 yards and a touchdown, a 61-yard scoring pass against Purdue, in 14 games, which included just one start.

He's eager to start over at Hawaii, to put the Huskies behind him.

“I want to put my best foot forward when I step on campus and be a leader,” he told KHON2 in Hawaii. “The past two years didn’t go how I wanted, but I can change that this year."
