Ferris State tackle Dayne Arnett has entered the transfer portal after anchoring an undefeated, national-title season. For bettors, his landing spot could influence early lines—teams that acquire him may see improved rushing projections and slightly tighter spreads. Punters should wait for his commitment before placing wagers on team totals, win futures, or rushing-based prop bets.
Ferris State Dynastic Run Continues — Then Faces Offseason Turnover
Ferris State closed an undefeated 2025 season with another Division II national championship, extending a run that includes four titles in five years and a 30-game winning streak. The Bulldogs’ offense dominated all season, averaging 52.7 points and 515.4 yards per game. That offensive force relied on a veteran, physical line that controlled tempo in the title game with a 363-yard rushing performance.
Dayne Arnett Enters Transfer Portal
Dayne Arnett, a 6-foot-5, 305-pound offensive tackle from Grand Haven, Michigan, has notified the program he will enter the transfer portal with one year of eligibility remaining. A key starter across the trenches, Arnett earned First Team All-GLIAC honors in 2025 and leaves Ferris State with two Division II national championships to his name.
What Arnett Brings — Size, Experience, Championship Pedigree
Arnett’s combination of size, starting experience and success in a high-powered offense makes him an attractive portal prospect. He helped protect a passing game led by Freshman of the Year quarterback Wyatt Bower and opened lanes for a rushing attack that ranked among the nation’s best. His resume will interest programs looking for immediate stability on the offensive line.
Impact on Ferris State Offense
Losing a veteran tackle like Arnett creates a gap in a unit that keyed an undefeated title run. Ferris State’s depth and recruiting pipeline will be tested as coaches search for a replacement capable of maintaining run-game dominance and pass protection. The Bulldogs can expect personnel churn as the offseason reshapes even elite rosters.
Which Programs Make Sense as Suitors?
Powerful running teams at higher levels — FCS and FBS programs that prioritize physical line play — fit Arnett’s profile. Schools that need immediate upper-line depth or desire veteran leadership up front will monitor his decision closely. Fit will depend on offensive scheme, playing time opportunity, and whether the destination offers a clear path to showcase his skills for pro scouts.
Betting Implications — Why Punters Should Pay Attention
Arnett’s commitment could nudge early-season lines for his next team. Key betting angles: - Team totals and rushing props: A proven tackle can improve run-game efficiency projections; expect slight upticks in rushing yards and over/under point totals if he lands with a run-heavy offense. - Spreads and win futures: Improved offensive-line outlook may tighten spreads, especially in early-week lines before camp evaluations are complete. - Value strategy: Wait for a confirmed destination before wagering. If he joins a contender with immediate snaps, look for mispriced futures or season-long team total bets that don’t yet account for his addition.
Final Take
Arnett’s move underscores how transfer activity can reshape rosters even after championship seasons. For programs, it’s an opportunity to add proven talent; for bettors, it’s a variable that can shift early odds. Monitor his destination — the real betting impact arrives once a team issues a roster update and oddsmakers adjust lines.
