The transfer portal has struck again and the University of North Dakota is the team being hit just days ahead of their opening round FCS playoff game against Missouri State.
Redshirt sophomore right guard Kyle Hergel is heading to the transfer portal. Hergel was named FCS Independent’s Newcomer of the Year in 2019, after starting all 12 games. He played in 5 games this spring as well.
UND head coach Bubba Schweigert said freshman Easton Kilty will get the opportunity to start against the Bears on Saturday.
“I’m excited for Easton Kilty,” said Fighting Hawks senior offensive lineman Ryan Tobin. “He’s a younger guy but I know coach Pawlak (offensive line coach) will get all of us together and will get it going again. I don’t see any issues.”
