Most Surprising Portal Entrant

I know it's early but who is the most surprising portal entrant for you guys so far?
The one that really caught me off-guard is Patrick Payton, the DE from FSU. Undefeated, playing really well, decent lineage for DEs at the program, probably doing fine by NIL standards. That one really shocked me, despite it being difficult to clutch pearls during any of this.
Who is it for you guys?

Most likely tampered with for a bigger NIL payday elsewhere. Do not

underestimate the long term effects of this CFP snub of the ACC. Kids that think they have an NFL future want to be seen on the biggest COLLEGE stages, and the Committee sent the message loud and clear that is not to be found in the ACC anymore, if it ever was. The ACC has more holes than the Titanic right now.

With the DEMISE of the PAC12 and the Rise of the 12 team Playoff, the 4 remaining P5 Conferences are guaranteed a spot and almost certainly a first round bye.Yes their will most likely be at least 4 SEC Teams in this 12 Team Playoff, we all SORTA know that.
I would hope that would help with recruiting, doubt it ,as Dabo and staff have seemed to hit that invisible ACC wall of 51-56 4 stars and above,while UGA/Bama/Ohio State in in that 63-74 range .WE need in this range to compete with them.This matters most.

There's lot of fact there. I'm not saying Dabo has conceded it but if you aren't going to get that quantity of stars, then you have to do the next best thing, which is to bring in talent developers. Luke and Rumph have the pedigree, history and resume for it.
Also, I know Austin took a lot of heat and rightfully so. Don't forget that he had 4 of the 5 Georgia State OL on the all conference team. Dabo took a shot on a guy that looked like he was a developer of talent and it didn't work out. I'm not saying that was the move he should have made but I understand.

To me it's our freshman Ojiebie the DE. He was probably going to have a good chance to start.
Next, and only because I don't keep up is juice wells at scar. He was supposed to be their star.

Ojiegbe is definitely my biggest disappointment but that's more my ties to the Tigers.
I guess I got the vibe Juice was getting out b/c of the way he left things on social media and the tire fire that Scar turned into this season.

None really IMO, if I had to choose I'd say maybe Mukuba, but most of the guys that left I thought were gone or graduating anyway. The thing is most of the freshman and younger guys outplayed alot of the guys that are leaving. The Defense is still loaded and getting Carter back another year is the most important thing to me right now, the offense can only improve from last year, so any incoming help there would be good.

There was some speculation that he might declare for NFL draft. Most thought he would stay for one more year. I heard no one suggest he might enter the portal.
