One of the best wide receivers that has entered the transfer portal is [autotag]Dante Cephas[/autotag], who played for [autotag]Kent State[/autotag]. The six-foot-one-inch and 186-pound fourth-year junior didn’t quite live up to the impressive 2021 stats he put up but still was a very good target for the Golden Flashes.
During his massive sophomore year, Cephas caught 82 balls for 1,240 yards with 9 touchdowns. Those numbers dropped this year to 48 catches for 744 yards and 3 scores over the course of nine games.
The Irish could have used that kind of production out of any receiver, [autotag]Lorenzo Styles[/autotag] led the team with 30 receptions for 340 yards and a score. With that in mind, the Irish pulled the trigger today and offered Cephas a scholarship.

The Irish aren’t the only school that is interested, as just today Cephas was also offered by [autotag]Pittsburgh[/autotag], [autotag]West Virginia[/autotag], [autotag]Penn State[/autotag] and [autotag]Kansas[/autotag]. It’s a bit too early to know what Cephas intends to do, but the Irish have now put their hat into the ring.
