According to multiple reports, Oklahoma State is set to lose starting safety Kobe Hylton as he will enter the transfer portal as a graduate transfer after his lone season in Stillwater.
Hylton has made three stops in his FBS career, with a year at Lousiana and two seasons at UTEP before coming to Oklahoma State. Before that, Hylton spent time at Northeast Oklahoma A&M (NEO) and Long Island before, making 43 appearances in college over his five stops.
Thanks to a redshirt year with Louisiana and the COVID-19 year, Hylton now has one more season of eligibility, giving him a chance to appear at his sixth school.
In three seasons at the FBS level, Hylton has recorded 185 tackles, nine PBUs, four forced fumbles, and one interception.
The transfer portal officially opened on Monday, December 9, 2024, and will remain open until Saturday, December 28, with an exception for players on teams who play bowl games after the window closes. According to NCAA data, 2,273 FBS football players entered the transfer portal in 2023-24 school year, with 1,558 (68.5%) undergraduates and 715 (31.5%) graduate transfers. Of the entrants, 57% reported that they enrolled in another school, 8% withdrew their names from the portal, and 35% are still active, transferred to a non-NCAA school, or left their sport.
