"I was concerned because all these guys had significant interest from other schools," Bohl said that afternoon. "They are good players. They have been vetted. We felt like they fit into our profile, but they had options."

Now Janise is exploring those.

The 6-foot-4, 265-pound freshman has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal after failing to see the field during his lone season in Laramie. The Beaumont, Texas product is the ninth Wyoming football player to leave the program this offseason via the portal, joining Cam Stone, Joshua Cobbs, Oluwaseyi Omotosho, Zaire Jackson, Keonte Glinton, Joey Braasch, Akili Bonner and Tyrese Grant.

Titus Swen briefly entered the portal after being dismissed from the program after the regular-season finale. The junior running back has since announced his decision to enter the NFL Draft.
