Oklahoma wrestling landed Cal Baptist transfer Carter Schubert out of the NCAA transfer portal, according to his post on Instagram.
Schubert was in redshirt last season and went 3-1 in unattached matches at 165 pounds. A Wyoming-Seminary (Pa.) product, Schubert went out west for his first year of collegiate wrestling.
But, he decided he needed a change of scenery and will head to the Big 12 (in wrestling) institution.,
“I am thrilled to announce my commitment to Oklahoma University!,” Schubert wrote on Instagram. “I am deeply grateful for this incredible opportunity and excited to get to work and fulfill the dream. Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way. Boomer Sooner!
“I want to express my appreciation to CBU wrestling for the opportunity and time invested in me over the past year. Thank you Coach Moore, Morrill, Elroy, and all the athletes for the unwavering brotherhood and many memories that I will never forget.”
To keep up with the latest players on the move, check out On3’s Transfer Portal wire.
The NCAA Transfer Portal, which covers every NCAA sport at the Division I, II and III levels, is a private database with names of student-athletes who wish to transfer. It is not accessible to the public.
The process of entering the portal is done through a school’s compliance office. Once a player provides written notification of an intent to transfer, the office enters the player’s name in the database and everything is off and running. The compliance office has 48 hours to comply with the player’s request and that request cannot be refused.
Once a player’s name shows up in the portal, other schools can contact the player. Players can change their minds at any point and withdraw from the portal. However, once a player enters the portal, the current scholarship no longer has to be honored. In other words, if a player enters the portal but decides to stay, the school is not obligated to provide a scholarship anymore.
The database is a normal database, sortable by a variety of topics, including (of course) sport and name. A player’s individual entry includes basic details such as contact info, whether the player was on scholarship and whether the player is transferring as a graduate student.
A player can ask that a “do not contact” tag be placed on the report. In those instances, the players don’t want to be contacted by schools unless they’ve initiated the communication.
