For the past few seasons running back Makhi Hughes has been one of the biggest pieces of the Tulane Green Wave’s success on the football field. Now, he'll play his next season of college football elsewhere.

Tulane coach Jon Sumrall said he wanted two quarterbacks with plenty of starting experience and a third with college playing experience out of the transfer portal, and that is exactly what he has gotten with the addition of a former Ball State starter on Sunday.

Tulane quarterback Ty Thompson withdrew his name from the transfer portal on Tuesday. Thompson has one year of eligibility remaining. He originally entered the portal December 11th, and still started for the Green Wave in the team’s 33-8 loss to Florida in the Gasparilla Bowl.

The Tulane Green Wave are not yet finished with their efforts in the transfer portal, as they have attracted another notable quarterback.
