Following a disappointing 3-9 campaign, Sacramento State football turns its attention to the transfer portal.
While the portal does not officially open until Dec. 9, a number of Hornets have already announced their intentions to test the market. There is no deadline for players to choose a new school, but players cannot enter after Dec. 28.
Follow along with this live blog to stay updated on where those in the portal end up and who Sac State brings in to refresh their roster.
In the Portal:
Quarterback, Kaiden Bennett
The dual threat quarterback is the latest Hornet to enter the portal. Bennett started 12 games for Sac State across the last two seasons, before suffering an injury that left him sidelined for the rest of the 2024 season.
His campaign as a starter featured a heroic performance in Sac State’s upset win at Stanford and helped lead the team to their first road playoff win in program history over North Dakota.
Bennett finishes his Sac State career with 2508 passing yards, 705 rushing yards, 23 total touchdowns and 12 interceptions. He has yet to publicly announce any offers.
Wide receiver, Danny Scudero
A breakout star of Sac State’s offense, Scudero entered the transfer portal on Nov. 27. In 2024, he posted the third-most receptions and receiving yards on the team, with 53 and 667, respectively, and five touchdowns.
In addition to his receiving prowess, Scudero has three rushes for 46 yards and two touchdowns in his career. Scudero has not announced any offers publicly.
Wide receiver, Devin Gandy
Gandy was the first Sac State player to announce his entrance into the transfer portal on Nov. 25. In his four years at Sac State, Gandy totaled 892 yards receiving on 68 catches and five touchdowns.
After suffering a season-ending injury in the second game of his sophomore year, Gandy returned as a key piece of the Hornet offense in 2023. That season, he totaled four scores, 412 yards and 33 receptions.
According to Gandy’s social media, he currently has offers from Bethune-Cookman, Gardner-Webb, Murray State, University of New Hampshire, East Central University, Northeastern State, Stony Brook and Morehead State.

Long snapper, AJ Campos
Campos has been Sac State’s starting long snapper since 2022, appearing in every game during that span. The highlight of his career as a Hornet was the 2023 season when he was perfect on all snaps.
In addition, Campos has also contributed four tackles over his career. He has not announced any offers publicly after going into the portal on Dec. 2.
