After coaching Middle Tennessee for 18 seasons, Rick Stockstill was fired as the Blue Raiders went 4-8 overall and 3-5 against Conference USA teams in 2023.
Now newly-hired head coach Derek Mason hopes to lead the team to better performances in the near future, and that starts with adding talent. Though MTSU has lost some stars during the coaching change, some skilled players have also committed to the Blue Raiders.
Here’s a look at those who have joined MTSU and who have left the program this offseason via the transfer portal, per 247 Sports. This list consists only of players who have made their new teams known and doesn’t include players still in the transfer portal.
