Montana tight end Bryson Deming (87) in the open field after a catch vs. Portland State/by Brooks Nuanez
The NCAA Transfer Portal has taken the world of Division I college athletics by storm. And the ability for individual athletes to enter into the portal – database where coaches and administrators can view every athlete looking to transfer to a different school — has had a big influence on the Big Sky Conference, particularly in the pandemic-influenced year.
Here are all the entries from the Big Sky Conference during the 2021 year as confirmed Skyline Sports according to institution and sport.
