The Tulane Green Wave football team lost an experience defensive end to the transfer portal on Sunday evening.

The Tulane Green Wave had a remarkable 2024 season under head coach Jon Sumrall and finished the regular season with a 9-3 record. They also became eligible for the American Athletic Conference Championship Game.

NEW ORLEANS – Tulane quarterback Ty Thompson withdrew his name from the transfer portal on Tuesday, according to a source. 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.

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.

The Tulane Green Wave add another quarterback to compete for the job as starter and MAC Freshman of the year Kadin Semonza transfers from Ball State.
