FCS Sack Leader Isaiah Land (Florida A&M) Enters Portal, Potential Match for Georgia? | BROOKS AUSTIN

I have a love-hate relationship with the transfer portal. I love my Rattlers and the play of Isaiah Land. I wish Mr. Land the best in all his endeavors. The transfer portal has reduced FCS to a farm system for FBS Power 5s. You train them, we will recruit them away with NIL $$$! https://t.co/LYYj2rQ5aw
