I'm hearing Tulane will sign maybe two players on Wednesday, leaving room for two grad transfers, who cannot be announced until they enroll for the summer semester.
There are two visitors this weekend and one unofficial visitor being looked at as a preferred walk-on.
1) Ben Knutson, a 6-foot-9, 310-pound grad transfer OG from Virginia who has two years of eligibility left.
Comment: Started only two games in his career, both as a redshirt freshman in 2017 with one each at left guard and right guard. Played in nine games in 2018, primarily on special teams. Was a 3-star recruit out of Granger, Indiana in 2016, choosing Virginia over Illinois, Indiana, Purdue and Pittsburgh among others.
Here is the story when he announced he was leaving. He sounds like someone who would consider Tulane heavily.

2) Jalen Williams, an unrated, 6-foot-3, 290-pound DT from Tylertown, Mississippi
Comment: Does not have a profile with Rivals but has one with 247Sports. Visited Colorado last weekend. Obviously flew under the radar during first recruiting cycle. No other reported offers. Also played TE for Tylertown. Listed as having 11 pancake blocks by MaxPreps.com. Team went 5-7 and lost in the first round of the Class 3A state playoffs. The town has less than 2,000 people.
3) Jonathan Mestayer, a 6-foot-0 ,170-pound safety from Baton Rouge Catholic. Not in Rivals database, unrated by 247Sports.
Comment: Had offers from FCS schools Southeastern Louisiana and Idaho. Would be a preferred walk-on if he chooses Tulane.
