Biggest Names in the Transfer Portal

Biggest Names in College Football

College Football is not what it used to be. I don't know what has impacted the sport more; NIL or the Transfer Portal. Some teams have obviously been harder than others. The Florida Gators have 14 players listed in the portal according to 247sports. This has become a way for programs to rebuild quickly. Look at what USC has done. They brought in Caleb Williams and Jordan Addison this season, and were a Utah program away from being in the playoff. The season prior to that Alabama grabbed Jamison Williams from Ohio State. Had he stayed healthy in the National Championship game, Georgia might still be in search of their first title since the 1980's. NIL has been awesome for the kids. I think the Transfer Portal is awesome for the fans.

Watch what Deion Sanders does at Colorado in the Transfer Portal. Matt Rhule going to Nebraska could bring some much needed talent to Lincoln. And say what you want about Hugh Freeze (and I've said a lot), he will turn that Auburn program around quickly. And all 3 of those guys will have an easier time rebuilding with the aid of the transfer Portal. The Transfer Portal list is not finalized yet, but we have a pretty good idea of what the biggest names in the Transfer Portal will look like. One name to keep an eye on is UNC Quarterback Drake Maye. He set the record book on fire this year, and was a Heisman candidate before the Heels dropped their last 3 games. So some names can still be added. But here are the biggest names in the Transfer Portal.
