Marshall has withdrawn from the Independence Bowl after a coaching change resulted in much of its roster jumping into the transfer portal

Marshall is opting out of the Independence Bowl against Army, according to multiple reports. The Thundering Herd have already lost over 25 players to the transfer portal, and because of the exodus, they will no longer participate in the bowl game on Dec.

Only a day after a prominent Alabama Crimson Tide offensive player entered the NCAA transfer portal, a notable name on defense has now done the same, as safety DeVonta Smith announced his intentions Saturday afternoon.
