FIU hadn’t made a bowl game since 2019 going into Willie Simmons’ first year as the team’s head coach. It would’ve been understandable if he needed a full year before he led the Panthers to some success.
But he didn’t waste any time getting FIU back to a bowl. The Panthers closed the regular season with four straight wins over Conference USA teams to earn a berth in the First Responder Bowl, where they ultimately lost to UTSA.
But FIU, for the first time in a long time, has some momentum in the offseason. Here’s a look at how FIU is doing in the transfer portal, per On3.
