Two days after losing head coach Jason Eck to New Mexico, two more Idaho football players have jumped in the transfer portal.

Receiver Mark Hamper, a freshman who caught 49 passes for 961 yards and six touchdowns, and Eck’s son Jaxton, a sophomore linebacker, each announced on social media their intentions to move on from Moscow.

That makes nearly a dozen Vandals who have reportedly entered the portal since the Eck-to-New Mexico news broke on Saturday.

They include quarterback Jack Layne, receiver Jordan Dwyer and running back Deshaun Buchanan. In addition, three offensive linemen – Jack Foster and brothers Ayden and Nathan Knapik – have elected to enter the portal along with defensive lineman Dallas Afalava and defensive back Dwayne McDougle.

In addition, a report from KMVT-TV in Moscow said running back Elisha Cummings has also entered the portal.
