eligibility remaining,\u201d O\u2019Neill wrote. \u201cI would like to thank my family for always believing in me, as well as all my coaches and teammates who have helped me grow as a player and a

offense.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He will now look for another opportunity, likely officially entering the transfer portal during the upcoming spring window.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s the dead period in college football currently, but that doesn\u2019t mean that minor transfer portal news won\u2019t pop up from
