COLLEGE FOOTBALL FREE AGENCYTransfer Portal

Having trouble keeping track of all the players who transferred since last season? Well, we have you covered with a handy list of the top players from the Transfer Portal and the impact their movement will have on both schools.

1. 1. Travis Hunter, CB To: Colorado

From: Jackson State

Coach Prime Time has made news twice recruiting Hunter, once as the top player in the nation choosing FCS Jackson State over pretty much any FBS school of his choice; again as the top transfer making his way to Colorado following his coach. Much like Hunter’s presence at Jackson State, he leads an influx of transfer talent to Boulder.

2. Sam Hartman, QB To: Notre Dame

From: Wake Forest Hartman leaves the familiarity of Wake Forest for the limelight of Notre Dame. In 48 games at Wake Forest, he threw for 12,967 yards, including 4,228 in 2021 and 3,701 last season. Proving he can adapt quickly and thrive in a new system under Fighting Irish pressure, will boost his NFL stock for the draft next spring.

3. Fentrell Cypress II, CB To: Florida State

From: Virginia

The All-ACC corner led the conference with 14 pass breakups even though he played in only nine games. His addition to the Seminoles gives Florida State a legit shot at dethroning Clemson.

4. Dominic Lovett, WR To: Georgia

From: Missouri

Lovett is a nice fit in the Georgia passing game to replace some production now in the NFL. The gifted receiver leaves a huge hole to fill at Missouri. He caught six passes for 84 against Georgia last season.

5. Adonai Mitchell, WR To: Texas

From: Georgia

Mitchell had five catches in Georgia’s season-opening win over Oregon, but missed a good chunk of the season. He returned for the SEC Championship Game and hit Darnell Washington with a pass for a two-point conversion. He caught four passes for 65 yards and two scores in the two national playoff games. He clearly understands what it takes to win a championship. He will become a favorite target for Quinn Ewers at Texas.

6. Ernest Haufmann, LB To: Michigan

From: Nebraska

This is a terrific move for Michigan, getting a starting caliber linebacker to bolster depth at the position and solidify the future. He started seven games at Nebraska as a true freshman and the Cornhuskers will miss him terribly.

7. Jordan Burch, Edge To: Oregon

From: South Carolina

Burch is a huge loss for the Gamecocks, and an equally huge get for the Ducks. He was third on the Gamecocks in tackles, made 7.5 tackles for loss and had 14 quarterback pressures. If Burch can perform that well against SEC offensive lines, he certainly can do that in the Pac-12.

8. Denver Harris, CB To: LSU

From: Texas A&M

Harris played in only five games, but was a factor on the field. The Aggies were able to use the portal to fill gaps. His arrival in Baton Rouge helps stabilize a defense with a national championship on its mind.

9. Tez Walker, WR To: North Carolina

From: Kent State

Walker was All-MAC at Kent State, but now must prove himself against ACC defensive backs. The good news is that Walker will have one of the best QBs in the nation throwing to him.

10. Bear Alexander, DL To: USC

From: Georgia

Alexander will be part of the completely revamped defensive line for USC. He played sparingly at Georgia as a true freshman, but produced when on the field. He had two tackles for loss in the national championship game. Alexander will carry a heavy load for the Trojans this fall as they chase their first national championship since 2004.

11. Javion Cohen, G To: Miami

From: Alabama

Alabama can plug and play guys along the front, so the hurt won’t be felt nearly as deeply as the benefit at Miami where the Hurricanes are completely rebuilding a dismal offensive line.

12. Avery Jones, OL To: Auburn

From: East Carolina

Jones will likely be one of seven new starters at Auburn courtesy of the portal. Coach Hugh Freeze has instantly rebuilt the sub-par offensive line from a year ago.

13. Shedeur Sanders, QB To: Colorado

From: Jackson State

Sanders is part of the 18 transfers on the 2-deep at Colorado this fall. He is the new quarterback (and son of the famous coach).

14. Devin Leary, QB To: Kentucky

From: NC State

Leary played in 30 games over four seasons for the Wolfpack, including an injury-riddled 2022. He gets a fresh start with Kentucky who is looking for an experienced QB who can step in immediately.

15. LaDarius Henderson, T To: Michigan

From: Arizona State

The big tackle started 10 games at left tackle as a true freshman in 2019 making his first collegiate start for Arizona State in a win at Michigan State. Started all 13 games in 2021 and six last year before a season-ending injury. Will play his final season of eligibility for the Wolverines, most likely starting at left tackle.

16. Justin Rogers, DL To: Auburn

From: Kentucky

When an All-SEC talent changes schools, there is an immediate and significant effect on both institutions. Kentucky’s defense suffers a blow, while Auburn’s squad becomes appreciably better. Rogers occupies so much space in the middle that he makes all those around him much better.

17. Braden Fiske, DL To: Florida State

From: Western Michigan

Improving defensive line play, both against the run and pass, has been a priority for Florida State over the offseason. Fiske can make a huge difference for the Seminoles upfront. The portal continues to benefit big, Power 5 schools, and work against smaller programs.

18. Andre Carter, DL To: Indiana

From: Western Michigan

Between Carter and Western Michigan teammate Braden Fiske (transferred to Florida State), the Broncos lost 25 tackles for loss and 18 quarterback hurries. Indiana gains a powerful piece for its pass rush.

19. Mason Cobb, MLB To: USC

From: Oklahoma State

Cobb led the Cowboys with 96 tackles and his 13 tackles for loss ranked second in the Big 12. He was named second team All-Big 12 and leaves a hole in the middle of the Oklahoma State defense. He will likely start for the Trojans.

20. Davison Igbinosun, CB To: Ohio State

From: Ole Miss

Igbinosun started 10 games at cornerback and played in all 13 as a true freshman for the Rebels last season. College Football News named him to its Freshman All-America team. He made 21 solo tackles and broke up five passes. He participated in spring ball at Ohio State and played his way into the secondary rotation. Ole Miss replaced Igbinosun through the portal, but he will be missed.

21. Ja’Had Carter, S To: Ohio State

From: Syracuse

Carter was Honorable Mention All-ACC last season. He made 28 starts at Syracuse with five picks. He contributed an interception and a 90-yard TD on a fumble recovery at Clemson last fall. Will be a part of the deep rotation in the secondary for the Buckeyes. His departure leaves a gaping hole at Syracuse.

22. Keon Coleman, WR To: Florida State

From: Michigan State

The Florida State offense could be explosive this season, especially the passing game with such a strong receiving corps. Coleman brings big-time experience to Tallahassee from Michigan State.

23. Jaheim Bell, TE To: Florida State

From: South Carolina

Bell will grow into a nice weapon for Jordan Travis as the season progresses. He caught 25 passes for 231 yards and ran it 73 times for 261. He probably won’t run much for the Seminoles.

24. Hudson Card, QB To: Purdue

From: Texas

Purdue could be a perfect landing spot for Card, who was beaten out at Texas by Quinn Ewers. Card will likely start for the Boilermakers, who have no quarterbacks with significant experience (other than those signed through the portal). Card made five starts at Texas and appeared in 22 games, completing 69 percent of his passes last season for the Longhorns.

25. Dasan McCullough, LB To: Oklahoma

From: Indiana

McCullough drew some Freshman All-America mention after making four starts and appearing in all 12 games for the Hoosiers. He made 6.5 tackles for loss and had 32 solo stops. He will start immediately at outside linebacker for the Sooners.

26. J. Michael Sturdivant, WR To: UCLA

From: Cal

Sturdivant’s matriculation leaves a hole in the Cal passing game and provides a huge boost to the Bruins’ attack. Sturdivant caught 65 passes, which led the Bears last season.

27. Zy Alexander, CB To: LSU

From: SE Louisiana

It seems a shame that a player with the talent level to play for a contender in the SEC can so easily leave an FCS program with no ramifications.

28. Anthony Lucas, DE To: USC

From: Texas A&M

A former five-star recruit at Texas A&M is now part of an overhaul at USC. The Trojans have an entirely new defensive front and Lucas should be a huge part of their success.
