Ostateczny ranking portalu transferowego: 100 najlepszych graczy futbolu akademickiego w ruchu

Kolejny rekordowy okres poza sezonem transferów dobiegł końca. Ponad 3400 stypendystów FBS weszło do portalu transferowego NCAA w tym okresie poza sezonem w poszukiwaniu lepszych możliwości gdzie indziej.

Były dwa okna po zakończeniu sezonu regularnego. Pierwsze okno trwało od 9 do 28 grudnia. Drugie od 16 do 25 kwietnia.

Którzy gracze okazali się najbardziej pożądani na wolnym rynku? Oto ostateczne rankingi ESPN najlepszych talentów, którzy dokonali ruchów w portalu transferowym.

Ranking 100 punktów opiera się na wynikach, doświadczeniu, potencjale, zapotrzebowaniu i opiniach trenerów i menedżerów generalnych z całego sportu.

1. John Mateer , rozgrywający

Transfer z: Stan Waszyngton | Transfer do: Oklahoma Pozostałe sezony: 2

HT: 6-1 | WT: 219 | Klasa: Student pierwszego roku w czerwonej koszulce

Tło: Po spędzeniu dwóch lat za Camem Wardem , Mateer stworzył imponujący przełomowy sezon w 2024 roku, który uczynił go jednym z najbardziej pożądanych rozgrywających w kraju. Mateer rzucił na 3139 jardów i 29 przyłożeń przy 65% ​​podań i zajął szóste miejsce wśród starterów FBS z 1032 jardami biegu (bez sacków) przy zdobyciu 15 przyłożeń biegowych. Jest wybuchowy i nieustraszony, gdy jest w biegu, wymuszając 58 niecelnych ataków według ESPN Research (najwięcej wśród rozgrywających FBS) z 22 biegami na 15 lub więcej jardów. Urodzony w Little Elm w Teksasie, miał 8-4 jako starter, prowadząc Cougars aż do nr 18 w rankingu College Football Playoff, z najlepszą piątką oczekiwanych dodanych punktów (EPA) na dropback wśród starterów FBS. Stan Waszyngton złożył mocną ofertę, by sprowadzić Mateera z powrotem w 2025 r., ale on postanowił odejść przez portal i ma szansę zostać najbardziej wpływowym graczem w tym cyklu portalowym w 2025 r. -- Max Olson

Opinia Scouta: Mateer to prawdziwy Air Raid w grze podaniowej. Wyróżnia się rytmem i wyczuciem czasu rzutów i jest bardzo zdecydowany. Jest bardzo trudnym graczem do ataku, ponieważ wyrywa piłkę z ręki. Jest solidnym biegaczem, który potrafi wyjść z opresji i przedłużyć grę. Gra z dużą pewnością siebie i podnosi poziom gry ludzi wokół siebie. -- Tom Luginbill

Co wnosi do Oklahomy: Bardzo potrzebny luz. Oklahoma zatrudniła koordynatora ofensywy Washington State, Bena Arbuckle'a 2 grudnia, co sprawiło, że Mateer-to-OU stał się najgorzej strzeżonym sekretem w rekrutacji przez portal. Miami i inni mocno naciskali, ale Mateer nie mógł odrzucić szansy dołączenia do swoich trenerów w Norman i gry na dużej scenie w przyszłym sezonie. Sooners pozyskali wielu utalentowanych ludzi przez portal, aby spróbować naprawić sytuację, ale Mateer wstrzyknie mnóstwo umiejętności rozgrywania i pewności siebie do ich ataku. -- Olson

2. Carson Beck , rozgrywający

Transfer z: Georgia | Transfer do: Miami Pozostałe sezony: 1

Wzrost: 6-4 | Waga: 220 | Klasa: Senior w czerwonej koszulce

Tło: Beck był niespodziewanym wejściem do portalu, zmienił kurs i umieścił swoje nazwisko w portalu po ogłoszeniu 28 grudnia, że ​​weźmie udział w drafcie NFL. Końcowa kontuzja łokcia, której Beck doznał podczas zwycięstwa Georgii w mistrzostwach SEC nad Teksasem, jest jednym z głównych powodów, dla których spróbuje rozegrać jeszcze jeden sezon college'u, aby powrócić do statusu wyboru w pierwszej rundzie. Kontuzja łokcia jest również jedynym powodem, dla którego Beck nie był graczem nr 1 w naszym rankingu transferowym. Beck był ograniczony podczas treningów wiosennych, ale doświadczenie, które wnosi do zespołu jako dwuletni starter, jest trudne do pobicia. Beck miał 24-3 jako starter Georgii i zdobył łącznie 8157 jardów i 63 przyłożenia podczas swojego czasu w Atenach. Wniesie doświadczenie w wielkich meczach - z dziewięcioma zwycięstwami nad przeciwnikami z czołowej 25 - mnóstwo talentu i wytrzymałości do swojego następnego zespołu. -- Olson

Opinia Scouta: Kiedy Beck jest zdrowy i ma za sobą stabilną grę biegową, jest jednym z najczystszych, najpłynniejszych podających w futbolu akademickim. Jest wyjątkowym rozgrywającym, który potrafi nie tylko wbijać piłkę w ciasne miejsca na średnich i głębokich poziomach boiska, ale także układać piłkę i zmieniać prędkość piłki. Jego podejmowanie decyzji cofnęło się o krok w ostatnim sezonie w Georgii i podejmował zbyt wiele ryzyk z piłką. -- Luginbill

Co wnosi do Miami: Cam Ward był całkowitym game changerem dla programu Miami podczas swojego jedynego sezonu jako QB1, zmieniając Hurricanes w prawowitego pretendenta do ACC i College Football Playoff na drodze do zostania numerem 1 w klasyfikacji generalnej. Beck goni za tymi samymi celami w 2025 roku, więc to dopasowanie ma zbyt wiele sensu. Nie miał jeszcze okazji zagrać w meczu play-off, podobnie jak Miami. Przybycie Becka oznacza kolejny rok niezwykle wysokich oczekiwań dla trenera Mario Cristobala i jego drużyny. -- Olson

3. Darian Mensah , rozgrywający

Transfer z: Tulane | Transfer do: Duke Pozostałe sezony: 3

Wzrost: 6-3 | Waga: 200 | Klasa: Student pierwszego roku w czerwonej koszulce

Tło: Mensah był zupełnie niedocenianym dwugwiazdkowym rekruterem z San Luis Obispo w Kalifornii, gdy Green Wave go znalazło i złożyło mu pierwszą ofertę stypendium. Był ich drużynowym QB w 2023 roku i oczekiwano, że będzie ich trzecią opcją w zeszłym sezonie. Jednak pierwszoroczniak w czerwonej koszulce zdobył pracę startową i udowodnił, że jest jednym z najlepszych młodych QB w kraju. Mensah rzucił na 2723 jardy z 23 przyłożeniami i sześcioma przechwytami w swoim pierwszym sezonie jako starter, prowadząc Tulane do sezonu z dziewięcioma zwycięstwami i podróży do meczu o tytuł American Athletic w debiutanckim sezonie trenera Jona Sumralla. Jego 76,5 QBR zajęło trzecie miejsce wśród starterów G5 i 19. w FBS, a także prowadził wśród starterów AAC pod względem jardów na próbę (9,5) i procentu ukończeń (66%). Trenerzy przeciwnych drużyn widzą elitarny talent miotacza i ekscytujący potencjał. Tulane walczyło zaciekle, żeby zatrzymać Mensaha, ale o jego usługi walczyło kilku konkurentów z Power 4. -- Olson

Opinia Scouta: Mensah przypomina nam byłego rozgrywającego z Cincinnati, Desmonda Riddera . Mensah jest opanowany, opanowany i niezwykle dokładny. Ma dobrą — nie elitarną — siłę ramienia, a jego ustawienie piłki i umiejętność zmiany prędkości, aby dopasować ją do rzutu, są imponujące. Jest również dobrym biegaczem. -- Luginbill

Co wnosi do Duke: Blue Devils osiągnęli wynik 9-3 w debiutanckim sezonie trenera Manny'ego Diaza z transferem z Teksasu Maalikiem Murphym na pozycji rozgrywającego. Odejście od Murphy'ego i postawienie wszystkiego na Mensaha to dość poważne oświadczenie na temat ambicji Diaza, by walczyć w ACC w 2025 roku. Mensah powiedział ESPN, że przyciągnął go prestiż akademicki Duke'a i elementy, które już są na miejscu, aby wygrać w przyszłym sezonie. Mensah prawdopodobnie mógł pójść niemal wszędzie, ale wolał szybką rekrutację i zobowiązał się podczas swojej pierwszej wizyty. Ufa, że ​​Diaz i koordynator ofensywy Jonathan Brewer mogą przenieść jego grę na wyższy poziom. -- Olson

4. Fernando Mendoza , rozgrywający

Transfer z: Cal | Transfer do: Indiana Pozostałe sezony: 2

Wzrost: 6-5 | Waga: 225 | Klasa: Student drugiego roku studiów na poziomie Redshirt

Tło: Mendoza był niesamowitym znaleziskiem dla Cal, niedocenianego trzygwiazdkowego zawodnika z Miami, który był związany z Yale, dopóki Bears nie złożyli mu późniejszej oferty. Stał się jednym z najlepszych młodych rozgrywających w kraju po objęciu stanowiska startera Cal w ostatnich ośmiu meczach w 2023 roku. Jako student drugiego roku był trzecim najlepszym rozgrywającym w ACC z 3004 jardami podań i podniósł swój procent skuteczności podań do 69% (drugi w ACC), zdobywając łącznie 18 przyłożeń z zaledwie sześcioma przechwytami w 11 meczach. W zeszłym sezonie prowadził wśród wszystkich rozgrywających FBS z 41 sackami, ale przezwyciężył niespójną ochronę, aby mieć naprawdę produktywny rok z silnymi występami przeciwko Miami i Auburn oraz 98-jardowym zwycięskim atakiem, aby pokonać rywala Stanford. Mendoza jest uważany za jednego z najbardziej obiecujących rozgrywających w kraju przez kilka działów personalnych. -- Olson

Opinia Scouta: Mendoza jest jednym z najbardziej niedocenianych graczy na tej pozycji w futbolu akademickim. Ma 195 cm wzrostu, jest świetnym sportowcem i twardy jak skała. Często był spychany i ciągle się podnosił. Mendoza potrafi wykonywać wszystkie rzuty i jest przebiegłym, przebiegłym sportowcem. -- Luginbill

Co wnosi do Indiany: Trener Indiany Curt Cignetti ceni produkcję bardziej niż potencjał, jeśli chodzi o rekrutację portalu transferowego. Dostaje dużo obu z Mendozą jako następcąKurtisa Rourke'a . Mendoza chce przenieść swoją grę na wyższy poziom w Big Ten i pomóc Hoosiers ponownie stać się pretendentem w drugim roku pod wodzą Cignettiego. -- Olson

5. Nico Iamaleava , rozgrywający

Transfer z: Tennessee | Transfer do: UCLA Pozostałe sezony: 3

Wzrost: 6-6 | Waga: 220 | Klasa: Student pierwszego roku w czerwonej koszulce

Tło: Cóż, to było oszałamiające . Podczas gdy pod koniec grudnia krążyły plotki o niezadowoleniu z zimowego terminu składania podań, nadal szokujące było to, że Iamaleava opuścił drużynę College Football Playoff i trafił na otwarty rynek wiosną w poszukiwaniu lepszej oferty niż ta, którą miał z Vols. Tennessee zainwestowało mnóstwo pieniędzy w Iamaleava i nawet skutecznie odparło próbę dochodzenia NCAA w sprawie siedmiocyfrowej umowy, którą zawarł z Vols jako pięciogwiazdkowy rekrut szkoły średniej. Miał mnóstwo powodów do radości jako student pierwszego roku w czerwonej koszulce w 2024 roku i zaliczył solidny rok, rzucając na 2616 jardów, kończąc 64% swoich podań z 22 przyłożeniami i dziewięcioma stratami, jednocześnie prowadząc Vols do 10 zwycięstw. Iamaleava zakończył sezon słabym występem CFP, kończąc 14 z 31 podań na 104 jardy w przegranej 42-17 w pierwszej rundzie z późniejszym mistrzem kraju Ohio State, i wciąż ma dużo miejsca do rozwoju. Ale wyjątkowo rzadko zdarza się, aby rozgrywający jego kalibru był dostępny wiosną. Iamaleava chce kontynuować postępy i grać na miarę swojego potencjału w pierwszej rundzie. -- Olson

Opinia Scouta: Nie ma wątpliwości, że Iamaleava jest jednym z najbardziej utalentowanych fizycznie rozgrywających w futbolu akademickim. Był bardzo pożądany już w szkole średniej ze względu na swoją posturę, siłę ramienia i sprawność fizyczną. Podczas jednego sezonu jako starter, pokazywał błyski geniuszu, ale także przeciętność. Rzucił 19 przyłożeń, ale cztery z dziewięciu przyłożeń w grze SEC miały miejsce przeciwko Vanderbilt, a siedem przeciwko Chattanooga i UTEP. Musi poprawić spójność. Ma siłę ramienia i ogólny talent, aby być świetnym pionowym głębokim rozgrywającym, ale był bardzo niespójny pod względem dokładności w tym względzie. Nadal ma narzędzia, ale prawdopodobnie będzie grał w drużynie, która jest mniej utalentowana niż ta, którą właśnie opuścił. Znaczenie: Będzie musiał być lepszy niż kiedykolwiek. -- Luginbill

Co wnosi do UCLA: Ta próba mogła się potoczyć idealnie dla Bruins. Zyskują potencjalnego rozgrywającego z pierwszej dziesiątki na obniżonym kontrakcie, który przyciągnie wiele uwagi do tego programu wchodząc w drugi rok trenera DeShauna Fostera. Przybycie Iamaleava będzie ich kosztowało transfer z App State QB Joeya Aguilara , który powrócił do portalu po przejściu wiosennych treningów z Bruins i wylądował w Tennessee. Wyzwaniem dla Iamaleava na przyszłość jest nauczenie się systemu OC Tino Sunseriego i zyskanie nowych kolegów z drużyny tego lata, ale z pewnością będzie zmotywowany po rozstaniu z Vols. -- Olson

6. Eric Singleton Jr. , WR

Transfer z: Georgia Tech | Transfer do: Auburn Pozostałe sezony: 2

HT: 5-11 | WT: 190 | Klasa: Drugi rok

Tło: Singleton był natychmiastowym czynnikiem decydującym o wyniku ofensywy Georgia Tech, gdy przybył, zdobywając wyróżnienie Freshman All-America w 2023 r. i zajmując drugie miejsce w konkursie ACC Offensive Rookie of the Year. Trzygwiazdkowy zawodnik z Douglasville w stanie Georgia złapał 104 podania na 1468 jardów i zdobył 10 ofensywnych przyłożeń w ciągu ostatnich dwóch sezonów. Singleton biegał również dla Yellow Jackets, ustanawiając rekord życiowy 10,32 w biegu na 100 metrów tej wiosny. Ma talent, aby zostać wczesnym wyborem draftu i był jednym z najbardziej pożądanych graczy w portalu. -- Olson

Opinia Scouta: Singleton może być jednym z najlepszych biegaczy na trasie i najszybszych zawodników, którzy weszli do portalu transferowego. Jest naprawdę dobry w grze podaniowej poniżej, gdzie może zamienić zasłony i 5-jardowe łapania w duże zyski. Ma również elitarną prędkość w linii prostej, aby dostać się za obronę i wyrywa większość piłek rzuconych w jego pobliżu. To, co sprawiło, że stał się tak ważnym towarem w portalu, to nieuchwytne cechy. Jest świetnym blokerem i twardym zawodnikiem. -- Billy Tucker

Co wnosi do Auburn: Po czwartym z rzędu przegranym sezonie programu, trener Hugh Freeze i Tigers zgromadzili imponującą klasę rekrutów transferowych, która, jak mają nadzieję, odwróci ich losy w 2025 roku. To znaczące zwycięstwo nad Teksasem, Ole Miss i kilkoma innymi rywalami z SEC; Singleton powinien odegrać ważną rolę w Tigers, gdy zastąpią utalentowanych łapaczy podań KeAndre Lambert-Smitha i Rivaldo Fairweathera . -- Olson

7. Świat Izajasza , ST

Transfer z: Nevada | Transfer do: Oregon Pozostałe sezony: 1

Wzrost: 6-8 | Waga: 309 | Klasa: Junior w czerwonej koszulce

Tło: Ten potężny obrońca był trzyletnim starterem Wolf Pack, głównie na pozycji lewego rozgrywającego, i wnosi bezcenne doświadczenie w postaci ponad 2300 zagrań w karierze. Nie oddał ani jednego sacka w swoim trzecim sezonie i otrzymał wyróżnienie honorowe All-Mountain West. World jest postrzegany jako potencjalny wybór w pierwszej rundzie draftu przez skautów NFL, wkraczając w swój ostatni sezon kwalifikowalności i przechodzi do Power 4, aby udowodnić, że zasługuje na to uznanie. -- Olson

Opinia Scouta: World jest ogromną obecnością z bardzo dobrymi umiejętnościami pass pro na lewym ataku. Przytył 42 funty od liceum i zachował swoją początkową szybkość i elastyczność. World wykonuje świetną robotę, prowadząc obrońców poza kieszeń dzięki swojej długości i mobilności. Gra zrównoważony, ma dobre nogi i pokazuje swoje koszykarskie doświadczenie, odzwierciedlając obrońców w swoim zestawie. Nie jest tak skuteczny w grze biegowej. Poziom ochraniaczy Worlda może być wysoki, ale nadal jest bardzo produktywny w sprowadzaniu obrońców na otwarte ścieżki biegu. -- Tucker

Co wnosi do Oregonu: Ofensywny rozgrywający był jedną z krytycznych potrzeb portalu dla Ducks. Ukończenie studiów przez Ajani Corneliusa i potencjalne przejście Josha Conerly'ego Jr. na zawodowstwo sprawiły, że dodanie rozgrywających kalibru startowego stało się priorytetem dla Oregonu i udało się powstrzymać Texas A&M i Nebraskę w tej bitwie. Roczny dodatek ma sens, aby dać młodym, wysokim zawodnikom Ducks więcej czasu na rozwój. -- Olson

8. Zachariah Branch , WR

Transfer z: USC | Transfer do: Georgia Pozostałe sezony: 2

HT: 5-10 | WT: 175 | Klasa: Drugi rok

Tło: Branch od razu spełnił oczekiwania co do pięciogwiazdkowego rozgłosu w Trojans i był jednym z najniebezpieczniejszych uniwersalnych rozgrywających w kraju w 2023 roku. Siódmy rekrut został pierwszym pierwszoroczniakiem USC, który zdobył wyróżnienie All-America w historii programu. Dominował w grze powrotnej (774 jardy, dwa TD) w swoim debiutanckim sezonie i zamienił 89 dotknięć w ataku na 910 jardów i cztery TD w ciągu dwóch lat w USC. Wszedł do portalu wraz ze swoim starszym bratem, obrońcą USC Zionem Branchem . -- Olson

Opinia Scouta: Branch, jeden z najszybszych zawodników w klasie 2023, szybko stał się jednym z najbardziej elektryzujących zawodników futbolu akademickiego jako prawdziwy pierwszoroczniak w USC. Przebiegł zweryfikowane 40 jardów w 4,41 sekundy i miał czasy na 100 metrów w zakresie 10,3 sekundy, wychodząc z krajowej potęgi Bishop Gorman w Las Vegas. Ta prędkość natychmiast przeniosła się na boisko jako powracający w 2023 roku. Jego produkcja w drużynach specjalnych spadła na drugim roku, ale może to być bardziej związane ze schematem przeciwnika niż z jakąkolwiek słabnącą umiejętnością. W grze podaniowej jest tym, czego można się spodziewać: bronią do dużych zagrań w grze zasłonowej, odrzutowych zamiataniach i szybkich skosach i dośrodkowaniach, które dają mu piłkę w przestrzeni. Jest niedopasowany pod spodem i świetnym celem YAC. -- Tucker

Co wnosi do Georgii: Branch to duże ulepszenie dla ofensywy Georgii, która musi zastąpić wiodących odbiorców Ariana Smitha i Dominica Lovetta . Bulldogs prowadzili wszystkie drużyny FBS z 36 upuszczeniami odbiorców w zeszłym sezonie, według ESPN Research, i będą potrzebować Brancha, aby był niezawodnym czynnikiem różnicującym dla nowego rozgrywającego Gunnera Stocktona . -- Olson

9. David Bailey , OLB

Transfer z: Stanford | Transfer do: Texas Tech Pozostałe sezony: 1

Wzrost: 6-3 | Waga: 250 | Klasa: Junior

Tło: Bailey wszedł do portalu wkrótce po tym, jak Stanford zwolnił trenera Troya Taylora pod koniec marca i od razu stał się jednym z najlepszych graczy dostępnych przed wiosennym oknem portalu. Były rekrut nr 122 cieszył się przełomowym debiutanckim sezonem w 2022 r., zdobywając wyróżnienia Freshman All-America i prowadził Cardinal w liczbie szarż za stratą w każdym z trzech sezonów w programie. Bailey wykonał 111 szarż w karierze, 81 nacisków, 22,5 TFL i 14,5 sacków i ma szansę zostać wczesnym wyborem draftu NFL, jeśli uda mu się stworzyć silny sezon seniorski. -- Olson

Opinia Scouta: Bailey jest zakłócającą obecnością jako obrońca krawędzi i jednym z najbardziej wybuchowych zewnętrznych linebackerów w futbolu akademickim. Nie jest największy ani najdłuższy, ale jest super silny, kompaktowy i gra z doskonałą dźwignią. Bailey wykorzystuje świetną szybkość do mocy, co może zaskoczyć i pozbyć się większych ataków w jego pogoni za QB. Potrafi również zginać i rozrywać narożniki czystymi, płynnymi ruchami. Bailey błyska doskonałą szybkością zamykania, aby ścigać biegi obwodowe i ma szybki bieg w górę pola, aby zakłócać grę, zanim się rozwinie. Bailey może utrzymać się w pokryciu, ale nie jest to jego najmocniejsza cecha. Jego najlepszym atutem może być intensywny silnik: Bailey gra w grę na wysokim poziomie. -- Tucker

Co wnosi do Texas Tech: Red Raiders byli jednymi z największych inwestorów okresu portalu w grudniu i nie szczędzili wydatków na ulepszenie pozycji edge rusher z Baileyem i transferem z Georgia Tech Romello Height . Uważali Baileya za jednego z najlepszych powracających zawodników defensywnych w kraju, pokonali Texas i UCLA o jego obietnicę i natychmiast sprowadzili go na treningi wiosenne. Texas Tech zgromadził jedną z najbardziej utalentowanych linii defensywnych w kraju z talentem na miarę NFL i silną głębią. Wszystkie te ruchy uczyniły Red Raiders wyraźnym faworytem Big 12 na rok 2025. -- Olson

10. Nic Anderson , WR

Transfer z: Oklahoma | Transfer do: LSU Pozostałe sezony: 3

Wzrost: 6-4 | Waga: 216 | Klasa: Student drugiego roku studiów na Redshirt

Tło: Anderson ustanowił rekord Sooners w liczbie przyłożeń pierwszoroczniaków w 2023 roku i oczekiwano, że będzie najlepszym graczem w korpusie Oklahoma pass-catching w 2024 roku. Zamiast tego spędził prawie cały swój trzeci sezon w college'u na ławce rezerwowych z powodu kontuzji, ostatecznie pojawiając się tylko w jednym meczu w sumie przez pięć zagrań w przegranej z Tennessee we wrześniu. Po pojawieniu się w zaledwie trzech meczach w 2022 roku, Anderson był wschodzącą gwiazdą kampanii Sooners w 2023 roku, kiedy złapał 38 podań na 798 jardów i 10 przyłożeń w 13 meczach w swoim pierwszym pełnym sezonie futbolu akademickiego. Jednak utrudniony przez kontuzję obozu jesiennego, sezon Andersona w 2024 roku nigdy nie wystartował, ponieważ dołączył do długiej listy utalentowanych wide receiverów z Oklahomy, którzy stracili znaczną ilość czasu w całym programie z wynikiem 6-7 w zeszłym sezonie. -- Eli Lederman

Opinia Scouta: Kontuzje pokrzyżowały plany jego drugiego roku, ale gdy jest zdrowy, Anderson ma doskonałe umiejętności fizyczne, w tym elitarne połączenie rozmiaru (6-4, 219) i szybkości (4,6 40). Choć duży i wybuchowy, Anderson jest nadal płynny, ma dobrą kontrolę ciała i dostosowanie, aby zejść w dół przy trudnym chwycie. Jest dużym pionowym celem, który będzie zwodniczo wspinał się po drabinie i chował się za kryciem. Po złapaniu łączy siłę i wystarczającą nieuchwytność, aby przerwać ataki. -- Tucker

Co wnosi do LSU: Parowanie Tygrysów Andersona i Bariona Browna , dwóch najlepszych w portalu, na rok 2025 będzie niezwykle przyjemne do oglądania. Rozgrywający LSU Garrett Nussmeier musi być zachwycony inwestycjami trenera Briana Kelly'ego i jego personelu na pozycji odbiorcy z tym duetem, a także transferem z Florida State Destyna Hilla , byłego rekruta z pierwszej setki, który wraca do domu. -- Olson

11. Makhi Hughes , RB

Transfer z: Tulane | Transfer do: Oregon Pozostałe sezony: 2

Wzrost: 5-11 | Waga: 210 | Klasa: Student drugiego roku studiów dziennych

Tło: Hughes zdobył wyróżnienia pierwszej drużyny All-AAC w dwóch kolejnych sezonach i został Debiutantem Roku konferencji w 2023 roku. Od czasu debiutu uzyskał 2779 jardów biegu (piąte miejsce w FBS) i zdobył łącznie 24 przyłożenia. Hughes był dynamicznym i niezawodnym rozgrywającym dla Green Wave z ponad 100 jardami ze scrimmage w 14 meczach i trzecią największą liczbą jardów biegu po kontakcie (1880) w FBS w ciągu ostatnich dwóch sezonów. W 2024 roku zaliczył sezon z 1400 jardami dla Green Wave i współpracował z Mensah, aby pomóc programowi powrócić do gry o tytuł AAC. Hughes będzie jednym z najlepszych powracających rozgrywających w kraju w 2025 roku i bardzo wpływowym nabytkiem dla Ducks. -- Olson

Opinia Scouta: Hughes to silny, zdecydowany zawodnik, który może udźwignąć ciężar. Najlepiej radzi sobie w schematach gap running, w których ustawia się i szybko zjeżdża w dół. Hughes generuje wybuchową moc w ciągu zaledwie kilku kroków i konsekwentnie biegnie przez pierwszy kontakt z siłą. Ma świetną równowagę w kontakcie i lubi opuszczać pady i dostarczać pop. Jest zwinny i wystarczająco szybki, aby uniknąć również w dołku, ale nie jest super nieuchwytny w przestrzeni. Hughes ma wystarczającą prędkość, aby wyrwać duże biegi, ale nie jest przełomem w grze i nie złamał 11,0 na 100 metrów poza licealnym biegiem sprinterskim. Mimo to jest zawodnikiem, który staje się silniejszy w miarę trwania gry. Dzięki dobrym umiejętnościom blokowania podań i przyjmowania jest kompletnym pakietem. -- Tucker

Co wnosi do Oregonu: Ducks potrzebowali następcy Jordana Jamesa, który ma szansę na draft NFL, i nie mogli znaleźć lepszego. To powinna być rola o dość dużej liczbie zagrań dla Hughesa, biorąc pod uwagę, że James zajmuje piąte miejsce w Big Ten pod względem liczby przeniesień na mecz (16,6), a Ducks mają nowego rozgrywającego na sezon 2025. Będzie mógł również grać ze swoim bratem, pięciogwiazdkowym prawdziwym pierwszorocznym narożnikiem Na'eem Offord , w Eugene. -- Olson

12. Dane Key , WR

Transfer z: Kentucky | Transfer do: Nebraska Pozostałe sezony: 1

Wzrost: 6-3 | Waga: 210 | Klasa: Junior

Tło: Key jest jednym z najbardziej utalentowanych wideoutów w portalu, trzyletnim starterem, który ma 126 przyjęć na 1870 jardów i 14 przyłożeń w swojej karierze. Były rekrut ESPN 300 i pochodzący z Lexington w stanie Kentucky, od razu stał się kimś, kto robi różnicę jako prawdziwy pierwszoroczniak w SEC i odchodzi jako piąty najlepszy odbiorca w historii szkoły. Key osiągnął rekordowe 715 jardów w odbiorze w 2024 roku pomimo niespójnej gry rozgrywającego, w tym 105 jardów w zaskakującym zwycięstwie Kentucky nad Ole Miss. Będzie miał szansę poprawić swoje notowania w drafcie w Nebrasce. -- Olson

Opinia Scouta: Key ma dużą sylwetkę i świetne ręce. Jest wyszkolonym biegaczem po trasie, który rozumie krycie i potrafi tworzyć separację, mimo że nie jest najszybszym graczem na boisku. Jego największym atutem jest umiejętność łapania piłki w tłumie i powrotu do gry z piłką z dala od ciała. Wygrywa dzięki kontroli ciała i wyczuciu pozycji bardziej niż wybuchowej szybkości. Key jest dobrym odbiorcą typu plug-and-play nr 1 lub 2 już pierwszego dnia. -- Tucker

Co wnosi do Nebraski: Key jest numerem 1 wśród wide receiverów, których Nebraska szukała. Trener Matt Rhule i jego sztab szkoleniowy musieli zastąpić dwóch odchodzących starszych starterów i odnieśli wielki sukces rekrutacyjny, sprowadzając Keya do Lincoln, aby ponownie zjednoczył się z trenerem wide receiverów Daikielem Shortsem, którego Huskers zatrudnili z Kentucky. Key będzie głównym celem Dylana Raioli w 2025 r. -- Olson

13. Barion Brown , WR

Transfer z: Kentucky | Transfer do: LSU Pozostałe sezony: 1

Wzrost: 6-1 | Waga: 182 | Klasa: Junior

Tło: Brown zyskał reputację jednego z najbardziej elektryzujących rozgrywających w SEC podczas trzech sezonów w Kentucky. Były rekrut ESPN 300 z Nashville złapał 122 podania na 1528 jardów z 13 przyłożeniami i jest talentem na miarę All-America w grze powrotnej. Brown ma 1550 jardów powrotnych w trakcie swojej kariery i prowadzi wśród aktywnych graczy FBS z pięcioma powrotami kickoffów na przyłożenie. Ta sprawdzona uniwersalna produkcja uczyni go poważnym atutem dla pretendenta do tytułu w przyszłym sezonie. -- Olson

Opinia Scouta: Brown ma kompletny pakiet wielkości, szybkości i umiejętności gry w piłkę. Sprinter na 100 metrów w 10,49 sekundy po szkole średniej, wykorzystywał tę szybkość w uniwersalny sposób podczas swojej kariery w Kentucky. Ma świetne przyspieszenie, aby zdjąć górę z obrony lub wykonać duże zagrania ze scrimmage lub jako returner. Brown był często przesuwany, aby tworzyć niedopasowania, i wyróżniał się w sytuacjach jeden na jeden, konsekwentnie wygrywając mecze jump-ball. -- Tucker

Co wnosi do LSU: Szybkość, szybkość i jeszcze więcej szybkości. Nussmeier stracił trzech najlepszych łapaczy podań z zeszłego sezonu: Kyrena Lacy'ego , Masona Taylora i CJ Danielsa . Brown powinien mieć wiele celów dla Tigers w przyszłym sezonie i nadal będzie zmieniał grę w grze powrotnej. -- Olson

14. Damon Wilson II , OLB

Transfer z: Georgia | Transfer do: Missouri Pozostałe sezony: 2

Wzrost: 6-4 | Waga: 250 | Klasa: Drugi rok

Tło: Wilson był jednym z najlepszych pass rusherów i 35. rekruterem w ESPN 300 na rok 2023. Był wielkim zwycięstwem Bulldogs w dniu podpisania kontraktu z Ohio State i Alabamą i wkroczył na drugi rok, grając 390 snapów i zdobywając dwa starty. Wilson błysnął ekscytującym potencjałem, gromadząc 22 szarże, 17 nacisków, 5,5 TFL, 3 sacki i 2 wymuszone fumbles. -- Olson

Opinia Scouta: Wilson jest wysoki, długi i smukły, z wybuchowym wybuchem i odbiciem oraz typowymi mierzalnymi krawędziami. Jest rozgrywającym na krawędzi i ogólnie zakłócającą obecnością wokół linii wznowienia gry dzięki połączeniu rozmiaru i szybkości oraz świetnemu wysiłkowi w pogoni. Wykorzystuje swoją prawie 80-calową rozpiętość ramion, aby uwolnić blokujących na swojej drodze do nosiciela piłki i wykazuje dobre umiejętności przekierowywania, gdy jest w przestrzeni. Jako pass rusher, Wilson wyróżnia się swoją szybkością i płynnym zgięciem, aby wyprzedzić ofensywnych obrońców w narożniku lub w ruchu wewnętrznym. Chociaż w zeszłym roku w Atenach był bardziej graczem rezerwowym, był przygotowany na sezon przełomowy. -- Tucker

Co wnosi do Missouri: To ekscytujący nabytek dla defensywy Tigers, wschodzący młody zawodnik, który pomoże im zastąpić odchodzącego startera Johnny'ego Walkera Jr. i nadrobić straty poniesione przez portal. Po osiągnięciu średnio 30 zagrań na mecz w rozgrywkach SEC w zeszłym sezonie, Wilson powinien być gotowy na znaczącą rolę w 2025 roku. -- Olson

15. Dillon Thieneman , S

Transfer z: Purdue | Transfer do: Oregon Pozostałe sezony: 2

Wzrost: 6-0 | Waga: 207 | Klasa: Drugi rok

Tło: Jeden z najlepszych młodych safety w futbolu akademickim trafił na rynek po zmianie trenera Purdue. Thieneman, trzygwiazdkowy rekrut z Westfield w stanie Indiana, został starterem pierwszego dnia dla Boilermakers w 2023 roku i miał fenomenalny debiutancki sezon, zdobywając tytuły Freshman of the Year od Big Ten i FWAA po zanotowaniu 106 szarż i sześciu przechwytów. Był ponownie najlepszym tacklerem Purdue w zeszłym sezonie ze 104 zatrzymaniami i siedmioma przerwami podań, a także zajmował się obowiązkami powrotu puntów. -- Olson

Opinia Scouta: Zobacz piłkę, uderz piłkę; trudno nie kochać staroświeckiego stylu gry Thienemana. Doskonały tackler, stale krąży wokół piłki, wykonując zagrania przeciwko biegowi, podaniom i specjalnym zespołom. Jego rozmiar i szybkość nie zachwycą cię na papierze, ale gra większymi graczami i ma doskonałą prędkość pościgową z ciasnymi kątami i niewielką ilością zmarnowanego ruchu. Wyróżnia się w pokryciu strefowym, rozumie koncepcje i ma świetny timing w swoich przerwach. -- Tucker

Co wnosi do Oregonu: Ducks mieli jaskrawą potrzebę bezpieczeństwa wchodząc w to okno portalowe, ponieważ starsi starterzy Tysheem Johnson i Kobe Savage odeszli po sezonie. Obaj przyszli do programu jako transfery i udowodnili, że mogą grać na wysokim poziomie dla Ducks. Thieneman nie powinien mieć problemu z dopasowaniem się do niego dzięki swojemu doświadczeniu w Big Ten i mocnej naturze. Jest gotowy grać dla zwycięzcy i powinien nadal robić spektakularne zagrania dla defensywy Ducks. -- Olson

16. Max Klare , TE

Transfer z: Purdue | Transfer do: Ohio State Pozostałe sezony: 2

Wzrost: 6-4 | Waga: 240 | Klasa: Student drugiego roku studiów na poziomie Redshirt

Tło: Klare należy do najbardziej produktywnych portalowych tight endów na rynku. Po pojawieniu się w sześciu grach w ciągu dwóch pierwszych sezonów college'owych, Klare wybuchł w 2024 roku, prowadząc Boilermakers w przyjęciach (51), jardach odbioru (685) i wynikach odbioru (4). Tylko siedmiu tight endów w kraju zanotowało więcej jardów odbioru niż Klare, a on utrzymywał łańcuchy w ruchu dla Purdue z 33 pierwszymi downami, zajmując dziewiąte miejsce wśród graczy na swojej pozycji. Klare, utalentowany cel na polu i fizyczny bloker, powinien być w stanie płynnie wpasować się w atak Buckeyes. -- Lederman

Opinia Scouta: Klare jest silnym celem z dobrymi umiejętnościami gry piłką i dobrym zasięgiem. Ma również dobrą prędkość i może rzucać wyzwania defensywie w pionie. Jego najbardziej atrakcyjnym atutem są umiejętności odbioru, ale jest również skutecznym blokerem i oferuje zdolność plug-and-play dzięki swoim fizycznym narzędziom i sprawdzonej produkcji. Jego produkcja mogłaby nawet wzrosnąć z Buckeyes z silniejszym zestawem celów odbioru, które by go uzupełniały. -- Tucker

Co wnosi do Ohio State: Było mnóstwo konkurencji i silnych ofert dla Klare'a, ale Buckeyes ostatecznie wygrali i dodali numer 1 tight end w portalu jako poważne wzmocnienie na tej pozycji. Gee Scott Jr. ma ukończyć szkołę, a Will Kacmarek może wrócić na kolejny sezon, ale Klare może być prawdziwym graczem różnicującym w grze podaniowej i powinien odegrać dobrą rolę w ataku Ohio State w przyszłości. -- Olson

Transfer z: Cal | Transfer do: Oklahoma Pozostałe sezony: 1

Wzrost: 6-0 | Waga: 205 | Klasa: Junior

Tło: Cal ciężko walczył, aby utrzymać Otta w drużynie na rok 2025, ale jeden z najlepszych powracających zawodników futbolu akademickiego trafił na wolny rynek. Ott rozpoczął sezon spektakularnie, zdobywając tytuł Freshman All-America jako prawdziwy starter w 2022 r. po zdobyciu 1218 jardów uniwersalnych i 11 przyłożeń w swoim debiutanckim sezonie. Był jeszcze lepszy jako student drugiego roku, prowadząc Pac-12 z 1315 jardami biegu i 12 przyłożeniami w drodze do wyróżnienia pierwszej drużyny All-Conference. Jednak w zeszłym roku kontuzja kostki doznana w meczu otwierającym sezon utrudniła Ottowi grę na miarę jego potencjału. Nadal udało mu się zagrać w 10 meczach, ale zakończył rok z 385 jardami biegu przy 3,3 jarda na przeniesienie i pięcioma punktami łącznie. -- Olson

Scout: OTT może być na szczycie tablic NFL, gdyby w zeszłym sezonie nie miało miejsca w produkcji . Wybieraj i przesuń się z zwinnością i nieuchwytem

To, co wnosi do Oklahomy: Sooners otrzymał solidną produkcję od Jovantae Barnes i trochę zachęcającej gry z Xaviera w zeszłym sezonie, ale nie mogli oni dodać prawdziwej nr 1

To, co przyniesie do Kolorado, było ogromną wygraną dla epoki Deion Sanders w Kolorado i kolejne stwierdzenie, że buffy nie chcą zrobić kroków w 2025 roku. Bawoły potrzebowały przeładowania w obronie i zastąpili dziewięć starszych starterów

Paut: Payton nie produkował w 2024 r., Kiedy jest na nim światło . Pieszeń generuje wspaniałą prędkość i jest obrońcą szybkim

To, co przynosi LSU: Tygrysy załadowały talent do portalu premium w tym cyklu

24. Williams Nwaneri , de

Przeniesienie z: Missouri | Pozostałe pory roku: 4

HT: WT: 255 |

Tło: Missouri pokonała Oklahomę w gorącej walce o pięciogwiazdkową rekruta i gracza nr 21 w 2024 ESPN 300. Nwaneri był ogromną wygraną rekrutacyjną dla Eli Drinkwitz i Tygrysów jako gracza z poważnym wyborem pierwszej rundy, a także nie widział pola, ale nie widział tego, jak to zrobił. TED , aby wejść do portalu

Scout: Nwaneri ma mnóstwo plusów i talentów, aby je rozwinąć. Obrońca, szczególnie jeśli wchodzi do środka, ale ma silne umiejętności i umiejętności ruchowe

What he brings to Nebraska: The Huskers were a big spender in the portal market as they worked to surround quarterback Dylan Raiola with more blue-chip talent and improve on a 7-6 season. Nwaneri's relationship with Nebraska senior analyst Jamar Mozee, his former high school coach, was a key factor here. The Huskers have a lot to replace along their senior-led defense and could count on Nwaneri to play a significant role in 2025. -- Olson

Scout: Robinson jest gigantycznym celem o wysokości 6 stóp, 82-calowego rozpiętości i 10-calowych dłoni. EST Future mogła być w stanie wychodzić ze szkoły średniej

To, co wnosi do Florida: Dominic Robinson grał w Florida State od 2001-04, a teraz jego syn podąża za końcem karierycollege'u , biorąc pod uwagę, jak Seminoles-6-metrowy był seminole.

27. Emmanuel Easton , OG

To, co wnosi do Auburn: Tygrysy udało się ulepszyć konkurencję w swoich miejscach z Chaplinem i USC Mason Murphy , co powinno zapewnić ich przebudowanego pokoju QB na temat ochrony, jaką otrzymają w tym sezonie

30. Miller Moss , QB

Transfer z: USC | Pozostałe pory roku: 1

HT: WT: 205 |

Tło: Moss zapłacił swoje składki przez pierwsze trzy lata z trojanami, w tym dwa sezony za 2024 nr 1 Pick Caleb Williams , zanim zdobył okazję do rozpoczęcia w 2024 roku.

The fifth-year senior has one extra year of eligibility due to season-ending shoulder injury at USC in 2022. Since coming back from that setback, Height has been a productive edge rusher with four sacks for the Trojans in 2023 and a career-high 30 pressures for Georgia Tech in 2024, according to ESPN Research. -- Olson

Znajduje się: z pewnością czeladka, która może dodać wartość na trzecim miejscu, ale na tym etapie nie widzimy, że jest ono w stanie obronić

To, co wnosi do Texas Tech: Red Raiders przynieśli do swojej tablicy nr 1, a ktoś, kogo ufają, może być uprzedzającą w obronie Wooda , który jest wybitnym

33. Beau Atkinson , de

Przeniesienie z: Karolina Północna | Pozostałe pory roku: 2

HT: WT: 265 |

Tło: Intrygujący potencjał podczas pierwszego sezonu z Tar Heels i zrobił duży krok w 2024 r. Z 25-letnim presją, 12 romansów i 7,5 worków

Scout: Jest to duża strata dla Karoliny Północnej, ponieważ Atkinson ugruntował się w tym zespole w 2024 roku i zwrócił wiele uwagi, która sprawiła, że ​​jest bardzo atrakcyjny w portalu transferowym. . - Luginbill

To, co wnosi do Ohio: obrońcy mistrzów narodowych stracił Jacka Sawyera , JT Tuimoloau , Tyleik Williams i Ty Hamilton i poszedł do wiosennego portalu, szukając jakości D-Line, aby zagrać w Dżiniej PROGIROWI. Umbus - i powinien być dodatkiem na defensywie

Jest jednym z najbardziej ekscytujących młodych pleców w sporcie i udowodniono, że ULM potrafi

37. Justice Haynes , RB

Przeniesienie z: Alabama | Pozostałe pory roku: 2

HT: WT: 210 |

Background: Haynes was the No. 2 ranked running back in his class and the No. 24 overall player in the ESPN 300 for 2023. He earned 25 carries as a freshman and looked ready for a more significant role in 2024 with Alabama's top two backs graduating. Though he started the first six games of his sophomore season, it was Jam Miller who emerged as Alabama's featured back with Haynes rushing for 448 yards and seven TDs on a mere 6.6 rushing attempts per game. -- Olson

Scout's take: Haynes has been productive at Bama, but not in a featured role. He has all the traits of an every-down back: a strong, balanced runner with productive yards after contact. He runs with a lower center of gravity and will absorb the first hit and run through arm tackles. Haynes has good vision and quick-cutting burst to daylight, but he's not super elusive or a home run threat in the open field. He has good hands out of the backfield with compact power and leverage to also block on passing downs. He was a successful lead back in high school and certainly can produce in a similar role if he finds the right opportunity. -- Tucker

What he brings to Michigan: Haynes should get lots more opportunities to be a lead back with the Wolverines and will form a terrific duo with talented freshman Jordan Marshall , who rushed for 100 yards in Michigan's bowl win over Alabama. -- Olson

38. David Gusta , DT

Transferring from: Washington State | Transferring to: Kentucky Seasons remaining: 1

HT: 6-3 | WT: 302 | Class: Redshirt junior

Background: Gusta wasn't initially looking to enter the transfer portal but ultimately chose to explore his options after coach Jake Dickert left for Wake Forest. The two-year starter was arguably the Cougars' top defensive player in 2024 and recorded 21 tackles, 18 pressures, three TFLs and three pass breakups while taking on double-teams for the Cougars' front. -- Olson

Scout's take: Gusta is a strong interior defender who is more impactful than his stat lines indicate. He displays an explosive first step and good redirect for a 300-pounder. He'll hold point and can be tough to move while also having really good quickness off the ball to disrupt and force double-teams. Gusta does a great job keeping his linebackers free against the run and creates enough interior pressure to force quarterbacks to get the ball out fast. He's very experienced and a technician when it comes to running gap integrity and maintaining his pass-rush lanes. -- Tucker

What he brings to Kentucky: This is a big win for the Wildcats over serious competition from Tennessee and Texas A&M, and Gusta helps address a significant need with Deone Walker moving on to the NFL and Keeshawn Silver transferring to USC. Gusta got a middle-round draft grade after last season and is eager to improve it by competing in the SEC. -- Olson

39. David Blay , DT

Transferring from: Louisiana Tech | Transferring to: Miami Seasons remaining: 1

HT: 6-4 | WT: 303 | Class: Redshirt junior

Background: Blay became one of the most popular interior defensive linemen in the portal with more than 20 Power 4 offers. He began his career at the Division II level at West Chester University, where he produced 13 tackles for loss as a redshirt freshman. Louisiana Tech discovered him in the portal after the 2022 season and developed him into a first-team All-CUSA performer and a disruptive force at defensive tackle with 46 stops, 10.5 TFLs and 6.5 sacks. -- Olson

Scout's take: Blay is an active inside presence with a good burst and push off the ball. He fires off low and with good power and explosion to disrupt and make plays in the backfield. He's difficult to single block as a pass rusher. Blay quickly collapses the pocket and combines good burst and power for pressure. He'll also redirect and retrace with deceptive quickness. He plays with a high motor and effective range outside the tackles for a bigger interior lineman. -- Tucker

What he brings to Miami: Blay picked the Hurricanes over USC, Penn State and a lot of strong offers and gives them a plug-and-play starter who'll help replace the production of departing seniors Simeon Barrow Jr . and Akheem Mesidor . Miami has gone heavy on transfers at that position while it develops its young blue-chip talent, and Blay should be a quality addition to their group. -- Olson

40. Fa'alili Fa'amoe , OT

Transferring from: Washington State | Transferring to: Wake Forest Seasons remaining: 1

HT: 6-5 | WT: 314 | Class: Redshirt junior

Background: Fa'amoe was projected to be a potential Day 2 draft pick entering the 2024 season but ended up in the transfer portal after Washington State's coaching change. Fa'amoe joined the program as a 215-pound defensive end, redshirted in his first two seasons and developed into a force for the Cougars as a 26-game starter at right tackle. He was limited by a knee injury early on in 2024 but came back to start seven games. -- Olson

Scout's take: Fa'amoe fell under the national radar, having played in American Samoa as an undersized defensive lineman. He has bulked up to 314 pounds and retained his athletic feet in the transition to right tackle. Fa'amoe has a good first step to kick and mirror faster edge rushers. He continues to improve his base and technique as a pass protector and remains solid sealing the edge as a run blocker. He's still not dominant moving blockers off the ball with great leverage and power, and Mateer certainly covered some pass-rush breakdowns with his elusiveness in the pocket. -- Tucker

What he brings to Wake Forest: Fa'amoe had a ton of options, including Michigan, Nebraska and LSU, but preferred to put his trust in his coaches by following them to Wake Forest. He'll reunite with Jake Dickert and offensive line coach Jared Kaster and look to boost his NFL draft status with a strong season in the ACC. -- Olson

41. Patrick Kutas , OG

Transferring from: Arkansas | Transferring to: Ole Miss Seasons remaining: 2

HT: 6-5 | WT: 313 | Class: Junior

Background: Kutas, a three-star signee from Memphis, moved into the starting lineup as a sophomore and earned nine starts for the Razorbacks, primarily at right tackle. He was sidelined for most of his junior season after suffering a back injury in preseason practice but came back to make four starts at left guard and performed well, allowing zero sacks on his 233 snaps. Kutas was able to utilize his redshirt for the four-game season and became one of the more highly recruited interior linemen in the portal. -- Olson

Scout's take: Kutas hasn't lived up to expectations with injuries and inconsistent play but has multiple starts at OT and OG which adds tremendous value, as does his SEC experience. He plays with an edge and shows good functional strength and balance to move defenders off the ball as a run blocker. He can sit and anchor, possessing just enough bend to be an effective pass blocker. -- Tucker

What he brings to Ole Miss: Kutas' positional versatility will make him an asset for the Rebels next season. They're set to return tackles Jayden Williams and Diego Pounds but will need to reload at the interior spots with seniors Nate Kalepo , Reece McIntyre , Julius Buelow andGerquan Scott all graduating. Ole Miss was able to get one of the best available options and several more signees off Arkansas' roster. -- Olson

42. Malachi Fields , WR

Transferring from: Virginia | Transferring to: Notre Dame Seasons remaining: 1

HT: 6-4 | WT: 220 | Class: Redshirt junior

Background: Fields is an exceptional athlete with excellent size and production. He put up 1,619 receiving yards over the past two seasons -- third-most in the ACC -- and 10 TDs on 113 receptions over the past two seasons and picked up third-team all-conference recognition in 2024 after another 800-yard season. -- Olson

Scout's take: Fields has an NFL blend of size, athleticism and ball skills. He also has very good production. The former high school quarterback has great awareness skills on the football field. He's a polished, savvy route runner who knows how to attack leverage and work for positioning. His pure separation burst is good but not great. He wins one-on-one matchups more with his physical strength and positioning than his speed. Fields makes the difficult grabs look easy and dominates the 50-50 ball. -- Tucker

What he brings to Notre Dame: The Fighting Irish did not produce a 500-yard receiver through their first 15 games in 2024.Riley Leonard did a nice job of spreading the targets around, but Fields should have an opportunity to be a true No. 1 receiver for Notre Dame's next starting QB. He'll be eager to join a playoff-caliber roster and help elevate their passing attack. -- Olson

43. Chase Sowell , WR

Transferring from: East Carolina | Transferring to: Iowa State Seasons remaining: 2

HT: 6-4 | WT: 195 | Class: Redshirt sophomore

Background: Sowell has made an impressive comeback during his two seasons at ECU. The former three-star recruit began his career at Colorado in 2022 and struggled with injuries during his first season in the program. He was cut by the Buffaloes after going through spring practice with coach Deion Sanders and the new regime in Boulder. Sowell picked a place where he had a shot to play right away and became the Pirates' No. 1 receiver, catching 81 passes for 1,300 yards and four touchdowns over two seasons. -- Olson

Scout's take: Sowell is a tall, easy moving receiver with really good production over the past two years. He has terrific hands and body control for a 6-4 target and will go up and pluck the ball away from his frame creating matchup problems in the red area. He lacks elite burst off the line and out of breaks but changes tempo well as a deep route runner and is fast enough to get behind coverage. Sowell is smooth in his stem for a long strider. He's an effective blocker but still needs to build up his frame to break press at the P4 level, and true separation speed is still a question mark. -- Tucker

What he brings to Iowa State: The Cyclones looked to the portal in search of a quality replacement for All-Big 12 wideout Jayden Higgins , and they succeeded in landing their No. 1 target. Sowell jumped at the opportunity to play with quarterback Rocco Becht and play a high-target role -- Higgins saw 136 last season -- for a Cyclones team that just won a school-record 11 games and are trying to go even further in 2025. -- Olson

44. Mark Gronowski , QB

Transferring from: South Dakota State | Transferring to: Iowa Seasons remaining: 1

HT: 6-3 | WT: 230 | Class: Redshirt senior

Background: Gronowski entered the portal at the end of the winter cycle after his coaching staff left to take over Washington State. None of the other QBs available this offseason come close to matching his career production. He's been one of the most dominant QBs in the sport, a four-year starter with a 49-6 career record and two national championship rings at the FCS level. Gronowski is the active career leader at the FCS level in total offense with 10,309 passing yards, 1,767 rushing yards and 130 total touchdowns. He won the Walter Payton Award in 2023 as the top offensive player at that level. He went into the 2024 season with a late-round NFL draft grade but will look to boost his draft stock with one final season at the FBS level. -- Olson

Scout's take: This guy is the very definition of substance over style. All he does is make good decisions and win. It's not always pretty and his methods can be unorthodox, but the end result is among the elite in college football. An adequate athlete, Gronowski shines with his accuracy. He'll bring experience and smart play along with a sky-high expectation to perform, which he has done his entire career. -- Luginbill

What he brings to Iowa: What a win for the Hawkeyes. They were looking to improve their QB situation for 2025 via the portal, and their patience paid off when Gronowski hit the market. There's not a more experienced or accomplished QB in this cycle when you consider he's played more than 3,000 career snaps. Gronowski was productive in his lone start against Power 4 competition in 2024, throwing for 264 yards and two TDs with one interception in a 44-20 loss at Oklahoma State. He'll be eager to prove he can compete at the highest level in the Big Ten. -- Olson

45. Kaidon Salter , QB

Transferring from: Liberty | Transferring to: Colorado Seasons remaining: 1

HT: 6-1 | WT: 200 | Class: Redshirt junior

Background: Salter led a historic season for Liberty in 2023 with a 13-0 run, a Conference USA title and a trip to the Fiesta Bowl. He earned CUSA MVP honors in his first season operating coach Jamey Chadwell's spread option attack. The Flames couldn't match 2023, falling to 8-3 season this fall, but few QBs in this portal market have more proven dual-threat production. The former Tennessee transfer has put up 5,887 passing yards, 2,013 rushing yards and 77 total touchdowns with 31 turnovers in his career. -- Olson

Scout's take: Salter is another version of SMU's Kevin Jennings . He's crafty, makes a ton of plays off platform and can make things happen on the move. He can be incredibly accurate on small-window throws down the middle of the field. -- Luginbill

What he brings to Colorado: Salter is exactly what Colorado needed for 2025, a veteran one-year starter who can be highly productive in the Big 12 and give five-star freshman Julian Lewis strong competition and a chance to develop during his freshman year. It'll be interesting to see how coordinator Pat Shurmur adjusts his offense to play to Salter's strengths as a runner, and there's no doubt the senior will enjoy playing with the Buffaloes' talented young receiving corps. -- Olson

46. Hunter Zambrano , OT

Transferring from: Illinois State | Transferring to: Texas Tech Seasons remaining: 1

HT: 6-5 | WT: 305 | Class: Redshirt senior

Background: Zambrano developed into a three-year starter at left tackle for the Redbirds and earned preseason FCS All-America honors going into the 2024 season. He started two games last season, including the opener against Iowa, before a hip issue forced him to sit out the rest of the season. That setback gave him one extra season to make a move up to the FBS level. -- Olson

Scout's take: Zambrano has some of the better physical tools of any FCS offensive lineman in the portal. He possesses good size and length at left tackle, but his agility is more suited for right tackle at the FBS level. He demonstrates good feet and hands in pass pro, technically sound, but needs to show improved bend and explosion in the run game to transition to a higher level and be effective. -- Tucker

What he brings to Texas Tech: The combination of Sampson and Zambrano should help the Red Raiders get a lot better up front in 2025. Zambrano is a legit NFL draft prospect who's ready to prove he can compete at the highest level, and it'll be interesting to see which spot he holds down in the lineup in Lubbock. -- Olson

47. Reggie Virgil , WR

Transferring from: Miami (Ohio) | Transferring to: Texas Tech Seasons remaining: 1

HT: 6-4 | WT: 190 | Class: Junior

Background: After two quiet seasons with the Red Hawks in which he recorded two career catches, Virgil put together a breakthrough season in 2024 and earned second-team All-MAC recognition. He turned 41 catches into 816 receiving yards and nine touchdowns, with three 100-yard performances to help his squad go on a seven-game win streak and play for a MAC title. He picked up a long list of offers and took visits to Michigan State and Texas Tech. -- Olson

Scout's take: Virgil is a big, athletic target with great hands. He's a vertical threat who knows how to use his length to climb the ladder and make the difficult grab. Virgil was an impressive long jumper out of high school who went over 22 feet. He's a vertical stretcher as well, with a long stride to accelerate past coverage. We expect he will be coveted given his one-on-one matchup potential on the outside -- Tucker

What he brings to Texas Tech: The Red Raiders got a big year out of Washington State transfer Josh Kelly , who earned second-team All-Big 12 honors in 2024, and are hoping for similar success with Virgil. With four wideouts moving on via the portal, Texas Tech had a clear need at this position and got Virgil locked up before he took more visits. -- Olson

48. Trebor Pena , WR

Transferring from: Syracuse | Transferring to: Penn State Seasons remaining: 1

HT: 6-0 | WT: 184 | Class: Redshirt junior

Background: Pena has been a return specialist throughout his career with more than 1,400 career yards on kickoff and punt returns. But after missing almost the entire 2023 season due to injury, he came back strong and proved he could be a real playmaker at receiver. Pena emerged as Kyle McCord 's go-to target and led the ACC with 84 receptions on the year, putting up 941 receiving yards and nine TDs to help spark a stunning turnaround and 10-win season under new coach Fran Brown. The second-team All-ACC performer will be a sixth-year senior this fall and is looking to boost his NFL draft stock with one more big season. -- Olson

Scout's take: Pena is very similar to former Miami wide receiver Xavier Restrepo , only Pena is slightly bigger. He's super reliable with terrific ball skills, a great feel for navigating zone coverage and always finds a way to get open. He's the ultimate security blanket for a quarterback when you absolutely have to have the catch on a critical down. He is a really crafty route runner who knows how to set up defenders and create separation in tight quarters. He's versatile and can play on the inside and outside. -- Luginbill

What he brings to Penn State: This is a massive get for the Nittany Lions. They were determined to get a top receiver in the spring portal period and won out for their No. 1 target, giving quarterback Drew Allar an experienced playmaker in the slot who had no shortage of strong Power 4 offers. When you come as close as Penn State did to playing for a national championship, you have to be willing to make some big moves to take that next step. The transfer trio of Pena, Kyron Hudson and Devonte Ross should quickly elevate the production in their receiver room. -- Olson

49. Rahsul Faison , RB

Transferring from: Utah State | Transferring to: South Carolina Seasons remaining: 1

HT: 6-0 | WT: 218 | Class: Redshirt senior

Background: Faison was expected to enter the NFL draft this offseason, but the Diego Pavia ruling for former junior college transfers created an opportunity for one extra college season. He was a revelation over his two seasons at Utah State, rushing for 1,845 yards and 13 touchdowns with seven 100-yard performances, including a career-high 191 yards against Hawaii last season. The second-team All-Mountain West selection forced 98 missed tackles during his time with the Aggies according to ESPN Research, which ranked second-most in the conference behind Boise State's Ashton Jeanty. The 25-year-old back will be a seventh-year senior this fall after beginning his career at Marshall in 2019. -- Olson

Scout's take: One of the top returning backs in the country, Faison checks all the physical boxes as a featured runner. He has impressive size and power to break tackles inline but also great vision and stop-start quickness to elude at the second level. His cutback ability in traffic is exceptional. He runs hard with balance and second effort. The one area he's lacking is a game-breaker second gear, but he's ultra elusive with exception vision and shiftiness in the open field. Polished receiving skills out of the backfield adds to his value. -- Tucker

What he brings to South Carolina: Faison still needs to get his extra season of eligibility approved by the NCAA, but he's poised to be a serious difference-maker for a Gamecocks squad with CFP ambitions in 2025. He'll step right in for Raheim Sanders as another highly productive transfer back and gives this LaNorris Sellers -led offense another reliable weapon to build around. -- Olson

50. Raion Strader , CB

Transferring from: Miami (Ohio) | Transferring to: Auburn Seasons remaining: 2

HT: 6-0 | WT: 182 | Class: Sophomore

Background: Strader is coming off a first-team All-MAC sophomore season and has been one of the best young corners in the country over his first two seasons. He's currently leading FBS in pass breakups with 18 on the year after breaking up 13 as a freshman and has also picked off three passes for the RedHawks. Opposing quarterbacks completed just 52% of their attempts against Strader in 2024, according to ESPN Research. He became one of the most heavily recruited corners in this cycle with more than 18 offers from Power 4 programs. -- Olson

Scout's take: Extremely productive football player with great play-speed and coverage skills. He excels in man-to-man with fluid hips and terrific recovery speed but is equally adept at reading the QB and jumping routes in zone coverage. Possesses polished ball skills. Will use his strong hands to press and get off blocks to set the edge as a tackler. -- Tucker

What he brings to Auburn: Another premium portal pickup for the Tigers as they load up for 2025. Strader joins a team that leaned on two young corners, sophomore Kayin Lee and freshman Jay Crawford , to get through the season and managed to finish with a top-30 scoring defense. Strader's experience will make him a valuable asset in the secondary. -- Olson

51. Braelin Moore , C

Transferring from: Virginia Tech | Transferring to: LSU Seasons remaining: 2

HT: 6-3 | WT: 303 | Class: Redshirt sophomore

Background: Moore brings experience and invaluable versatility from his three seasons at Virginia Tech. The honorable mention All-ACC performer earning the starting left guard role as a redshirt freshman and played well, then transitioned to center for 2024 and was even better. Moore has allowed just one sack on 654 snaps in pass protection, according to ESPN Research. -- Olson

What he brings to LSU: After rolling with a redshirt freshman starter at center in DJ Chester , the Tigers looked to the portal for a more proven commodity and locked up Moore, the top center available in this portal cycle. -- Olson

52. Josh Thompson , OG

Transferring from: Northwestern | Transferring to: LSU Seasons remaining: 1

HT: 6-5 | WT: 301 | Class: Redshirt junior

Background: Thompson, a former three-star recruit from Michigan, emerged as a key starter for the Wildcats after two years of development. He started at right tackle in 2023 but found his more natural fit at right guard last season, earning honorable mention All-Big Ten recognition after he did not surrender a sack all season. According to ESPN Research, Thompson had the fourth-best pressure rate (0.8%) among all Big Ten starting guards this season. -- Olson

What he brings to LSU: The Tigers identified Thompson as one of the best interior offensive linemen in this cycle and beat Tennessee, Ohio State and several others for his pledge. He's a big addition and a future pro. -- Olson

53. Noah Thomas , WR

Transferring from: Texas A&M | Transferring to: Georgia Seasons remaining: 2

HT: 6-6 | WT: 200 | Class: Junior

Background: Thomas emerged as the Aggies' leading receiver as a junior and produced eight touchdown catches, tied for second-most in the SEC. He turned 73 catches into 984 yards and 15 touchdowns over three seasons in College Station. -- Olson

What he brings to Georgia: The Bulldogs really lacked a big-bodied receiver for their passing attack after Miami transfer Colbie Young was suspended during the season, so Thomas certainly resolves that need and sets Georgia up to have one of the SEC's best receiver trios in 2025 with Branch, Thomas and Dillon Bell . -- Olson

54. Kevin Coleman Jr ., WR

Transferring from: Mississippi State | Transferring to: Missouri Seasons remaining: 1

HT: 5-11 | WT: 180 | Class: Junior

Background: Coleman is moving on to his fourth school in four years after stints at Jackson State, Louisville and Mississippi State, but he has produced everywhere he's been. The former SWAC Freshman of the Year is coming off a career-best year in Starkville, ranking third in the SEC in receiving yards per game and producing 1,096 all-purpose yards and six TDs as a receiver and punt returner. -- Olson

What he brings to Missouri: The St. Louis native is coming home for his final season of eligibility and will see a ton of targets in an offense that must replace the production ofLuther Burden III ,Theo Wease Jr . and Mookie Cooper . -- Olson

55. Thaddeus Dixon , CB

Transferring from: Washington | Transferring to: North Carolina Seasons remaining: 1

HT: 6-1 | WT: 185 | Class: Senior

Background: After playing a reserve role for the Huskies during their run to the CFP title game in 2023, Dixon took over as a starter last season and earned honorable mention All-Big Ten recognition for the Huskies. He finished as a top-five starting corner in the conference in completion percentage (35%), yards per attempt (3.7) and pass breakups (10), according to ESPN Research. Thanks to the Diego Pavia ruling, the former junior college transfer was granted an extra season of eligibility and opted to transfer after the Huskies brought in Davis from Arizona. -- Olson

What he brings to North Carolina: A plug-and-play starter who'll benefit greatly from the fact he played for defensive coordinator Steve Belichick last season in Seattle. The Tar Heels managed to beat out Ole Miss and several more contenders for a pledge from Dixon, who should team up with returning starter Marcus Allen to provide good experience in the secondary. -- Olson

56. Jeremiah Wilson , CB

Transferring from: Houston | Transferring to: Florida State Seasons remaining: 1

HT: 5-10 | WT: 185 | Class: Junior

Background: After two solid seasons at Syracuse, Wilson transferred to Houston and proved he can be a difference-maker. He snagged four interceptions last season and allowed just 12 completions on 33 targets, the fourth-lowest completion percentage (36%) among Big 12 starting corners according to ESPN Research. Wilson has one more season ahead of him and is hoping he can boost his draft stock in 2025 by making one more move. -- Olson

Scout's take: Wilson possesses length, instincts, foot speed and excellent ball skills. Aside from great physical traits on the perimeter, he has been really productive. He has a really good feel for zone coverage and how to align himself to bait quarterbacks into making poor decisions with the football. Wilson displays the short-area quickness and burst in man coverage to lock people down one-on-one. He's very competitive in contested matchups where his ball skills become magnified. The only question is his true speed. -- Luginbill

What he brings to Florida State: The Kissimmee, Florida, native is coming back to his home state and reuniting with defensive coordinator Tony White, who previously coached him during his freshman year at Syracuse. Wilson brings needed experience and should catch up quickly as he gets back to playing in a defense he already knows. -- Olson

57. AJ Haulcy , S

Transferring from: Houston | Transferring to: LSU Seasons remaining: 1

HT: 6-0 | WT: 215 | Class: Junior

Background: Haulcy began his career at New Mexico in 2022 and turned a strong true freshman season into an opportunity to come home and play for Houston. He's been a two-year starter for the Cougars and earned first-team All-Big 12 honors last season after picking off five passes and recording eight pass breakups plus 74 tackles. Veteran starters like Haulcy who've played more than 2,000 career snaps tend to attract plenty of interest in the spring portal window. -- Olson

Scout's take: Haulcy is a prototypical hard-hitting safety who is a bit of a throwback player. He's physical and loves to throw his body around. He's an outstanding tackler, but also has the personality and leadership skills to be the heart and soul of a defense. -- Luginbill

What he brings to LSU: This is the cherry on top of LSU's extremely impressive portal recruiting class. Haulcy and NC State transfer Tamarcus Cooley represent significant upgrades at the safety position for the Tigers. It'll be interesting to see how secondary coach Corey Raymond moves his guys around this fall, because a secondary that ranked No. 2 in SEC play in passing yards per game just added a lot more talent this offseason. -- Olson

58. Micah Hudson , WR

Transferring from: Texas A&M | Transferring to: Texas Tech Seasons remaining: 3

HT: 6-0 | WT: 195 | Class: Freshman

Background: Hudson, a five-star recruit and the No. 22 overall player in last year's ESPN 300, was the highest-ranked signee in Texas Tech history. But his true freshman season did not play out the way he'd hoped and he finished with eight catches for 123 yards in a reserve role. Hudson transferred to Texas A&M this offseason but left the program in January soon after he arrived. -- Olson

Scout's take: Hudson played in the 2024 Under Armour All-America Game to culminate an amazing high school career, but we did see a lack of urgency and production in that small sample size. While he showed flashes at Texas Tech, it was surprising that he didn't have much impact as a freshman given his playmaking speed and dynamic skill-set. He's a natural pass catcher and has the explosive athleticism to elevate and pluck the contested jump ball, but his true separation speed at the college level is the key question. He did not have verified track or combine testing times as an upperclassman in high school. His early times in the 100- and 200-meter were just adequate. -- Tucker

What he brings to Texas Tech: Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire and his staff are giving Hudson a second chance and hoping he'll make the most of it. If Hudson comes in with humility and patience and puts in the work to regain the trust of his teammates and coaches, this could end up being quite a success story. He'll have to earn his playing time, too, in a receiver room led by returning starters Caleb Douglas and Coy Eakin plus the addition of Virgil. If Hudson attacks this opportunity with the right mentality, he could become an X factor for a squad that has more than enough talent to win the Big 12 in 2025. -- Olson

59. Mario Craver , WR

Transferring from: Mississippi State | Transferring to: Texas A&M Seasons remaining: 3

HT: 5-10 | WT: 170 | Class: Freshman

Background: Craver, ESPN's No. 273 overall prospect in the 2024 class, carved out an immediate role during his freshman season at Mississippi State and presents high upside given his elite speed, Year 1 production and eligibility runway. He flashed plenty of promise in a middling Bulldogs' offense, totaling 17 catches for 368 yards and three TDs in nine games. Craver was sidelined by injury for a pair of games in October and suspended for another contest in November but still finished as one of the Bulldogs' most productive pass catchers in 2024. -- Lederman

Scout's take: Craver is an undersized receiver but quick, elusive and fast. He ran 10.7 out of high school and flashed that acceleration last season with the ball is his hands. He has soft hands and transitions up-field with terrific suddenness after the catch and reaches top speed quickly. Will turn a short pass into a big gain and is the ideal slot that can be move around to create underneath separation and mismatches. -- Tucker

What he brings to Texas A&M: Coach Mike Elko has done an impressive job of adding more playmakers since taking over and brought in three more at the receiver position via the portal between Craver, Concepcion and Houston's Jonah Wilson . While things didn't work out with Hudson, the Aggies still have plenty of firepower at receiver for the foreseeable future. -- Olson

60. Xavier Lucas , CB

Transferring from: Wisconsin | Transferring to: Miami Seasons remaining: 3

HT: 6-2 | WT: 198 | Class: Freshman

Background: Lucas, a three-star signee in the 2024 class, got on the field right away as a true freshman for the Badgers and made a solid first impression. He played 192 snaps on the year, grabbed an interception in Wisconsin's season opener and allowed just two catches in his first career start against Nebraska. After initially agreeing to return in 2025, Lucas made the surprising decision to transfer closer to home in January. -- Olson

What he brings to Miami: Lucas went through an extremely contentious exit from the program , deciding to transfer to Miami after Wisconsin made the unprecedented move of refusing to enter his name in the NCAA transfer portal, citing the binding nature of NIL agreement and alleging Miami tampered with him. The Hurricanes have totally revamped their secondary this offseason and are betting that Lucas can develop into a difference-maker over the next few years. -- Olson

61. Zechariah Poyser , S

Transferring from: Jacksonville State | Transferring to: Miami Seasons remaining: 3

HT: 6-2 | WT: 190 | Class: Redshirt freshman

Background: Poyser was a no-star recruit for Jacksonville State who quickly became a gem and is now being heavily recruited by SEC programs. The Wildwood, Florida, native started all 13 games at safety for the Gamecocks during their run to a Conference USA championship. He recorded 73 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, eight pass breakups and three interceptions. -- Olson

Scout's take: Poyser flew under the radar coming out of high school but didn't during the portal. He has a supreme blend of size, range and ball skills. He's quick to break and get into pursuit on underneath routes with the long stride to also get on top of downfield throws. He displays a nose for the football around the box and is a strong open-field tackler. Aside from possessing great physical traits, he's quick to diagnose and an instinctive overall football player. -- Tucker

What he brings to Miami: This was a nice win for the Hurricanes against a ton of SEC competition for one of the top DBs available. They depended on a sixth-year senior at safety in Washington transfer Mishael Powell this season and have found a terrific young replacement who'll keep improving and make them better on the back end. -- Olson

62. Luke Hasz , TE

Transferring from: Arkansas | Transferring to: Ole Miss Seasons remaining: 2

HT: 6-3 | WT: 241 | Class: Sophomore

Background: The former No. 83 overall recruit in 2023 ESPN 300 got off to a hot start as a freshman with 253 receiving yards and three TDs on 16 catches before suffering a season-ending collarbone injury. Hasz came back better in 2024 and turned 26 catches into 324 yards and four TDs as a sophomore. -- Olson

What he brings to Ole Miss: Lane Kiffin and the Rebels quickly found and secured their replacement for Caden Prieskorn with Hasz. Prieskorn played a good role in their passing attack, with 54 catches for 824 yards over two seasons in Oxford. Now Hasz takes over for him and will pair with Dae'Quan Wright in what should be one of the top tight end duos in the SEC. -- Olson

63. Ethan O'Connor , CB

Transferring from: Washington State | Transferring to: Miami Seasons remaining: 3

HT: 6-1 | WT: 172 | Class: Redshirt freshman

Background: O'Connor moved into the starting lineup for the Cougars as a redshirt freshman and put together a really promising debut season with 32 tackles, eight pass breakups and four interceptions, including a pick-six against Fresno State. O'Connor allowed catches on just 23 of 52 attempts (44%), according to ESPN Research. -- Olson

Scout's take: O'Connor has length and ball skills as a perimeter defender, which will make him valued in the portal. He's very active around the football with effective range and pursuit angles. O'Connor does a good job of timing his break and is adept at undercutting routes as well as tracking the deep throw. He demonstrates wiry strength as a tackler. -- Tucker

What he brings to Miami: The Hurricanes have seriously reloaded their cornerback room this offseason with O'Connor, Lucas, Charles Brantley (Michigan State) and nickel Keionte Scott (Houston) all coming in to compete this offseason. The young trio of O'Connor, Lucas and Freshman All-America starter OJ Frederique Jr . gives Miami an extremely bright future at this position. -- Olson

64. Jordan Dwyer , WR

Transferring from: Idaho | Transferring to: TCU Seasons remaining: 2

HT: 6-0 | WT: 195 | Class: Redshirt sophomore

Background: Dwyer enjoyed a breakout sophomore season for the Vandals, finishing No. 2 in the Big Sky in catches (78), receiving yards (1,192) and touchdown catches (12) and closing with a career-high 189 yards against Montana State in the FCS playoffs. After Idaho coach Jason Eck left to take over New Mexico, Dwyer put his name in the portal. -- Olson

What he brings to TCU: The Horned Frogs needed to reload at wide receiver this offseason with four of their top five wideouts graduating and won a critical battle for Dwyer against plenty of Power 4 competition. Dwyer and Houston transfer Joseph Manjack IV should be key targets for Josh Hoover in 2025. -- Olson

65. CJ Donaldson Jr ., RB

Transferring from: West Virginia | Transferring to: Ohio State Seasons remaining: 1

HT: 6-2 | WT: 238 | Class: Junior

Background: Donaldson was an under-the-radar get out of Miami for the Mountaineers and initially signed to play tight end, but he proved right away as a freshman that he can be an impact back. He rushed for 2,058 yards and scored 31 touchdowns over three seasons in Morgantown. -- Olson

What he brings to Ohio State: The Buckeyes must replace second-round draft picks Quinshon Judkins and TreVeyon Henderson at this spot and have lots of blue-chip talent competing for carries. Donaldson should be a great complement to sophomore James Peoples and will have an opportunity to play a significant role for the defending national champs. -- Olson

66. Isaiah Horton , WR

Transferring from: Miami | Transferring to: Alabama Seasons remaining: 2

HT: 6-4 | WT: 205 | Class: Redshirt sophomore

Background: Horton, a former ESPN 300 recruit, looked poised to become Miami's No. 1 receiver in 2025 after a breakthrough sophomore season with Cam Ward in which he caught 56 passes for 616 yards and five touchdowns. -- Olson

What he brings to Alabama: The Crimson Tide clearly needed some help around Ryan Williams after losing four wide receivers to the portal in December, so Horton was a much-needed pickup for their starting lineup who'll form a strong trio with Williams and returning starter Germie Bernard . -- Olson

67. Maraad Watson , DT

Transferring from: Syracuse | Transferring to: Texas Seasons remaining: 3

HT: 6-3 | WT: 313 | Class: Freshman

Background: The three-star signee from Irvington, New Jersey, proved he was ready to play right away in 2024, making 11 starts as a true freshman and earning Freshman All-America recognition after producing 31 run stops, seven pressures, 1.5 TFLs and a sack. Watson became a reliable force as the season progressed, playing a season-high 64 snaps and logging six tackles in Syracuse's upset win over Miami in the regular season finale. He wasn't highly recruited coming out of high school, but the former Kent State commit had plenty of options in the portal with Texas, Georgia, Ohio State and Tennessee battling for his pledge. -- Olson

Scout's take: Watson was a sleeper out of high school who enjoyed a productive 2024 season, increasingly becoming a handful for opposing offensive fronts as the season wore on. He has above average height and is around 315 pounds but moves like he's 280. He's really disruptive, and when he plays with a consistent motor, he can be a problem not just stopping the run but as a pass rusher as well. Watson could play on the inside, but also could be a real difficult matchup as a 5-tech over the tackle. -- Luginbill

What he brings to Texas: Adding interior defensive linemen has been a major priority for the Longhorns this offseason as they work to replace Alfred Collins , Vernon Broughton , Jermayne Lole and Bill Norton up front. Watson is a big-time get who should make an instant impact for a position group that is counting on a combination of unproven youth and portal newcomers to step up in 2025. -- Olson

68. Keeshawn Silver , DT

Transferring from: Kentucky | Transferring to: USC Seasons remaining: 1

HT: 6-4 | WT: 336 | Class: Redshirt junior

Background: Silver began his career at North Carolina and was a massive recruiting win for Mack Brown and the Tar Heels as the No. 8 overall recruit in the 2021 ESPN 300. He struggled to earn a significant role in Chapel Hill, playing a total of 29 snaps over two seasons, but he turned his career around at Kentucky. The massive nose guard started 11 games this season and had 43 tackles, three tackles for loss and one sack during his two seasons with the Wildcats. -- Olson

Scout's take: Silver is essentially a run-down nose guard more suited to a two-gap scheme. He has the size and strength to demand a double-team, but still maintains quick feet and agility to penetrate when single-blocked. Silver has above average push and ability to close on the pocket as a pass rusher. Leverage is his best asset and he's tough to move even with his height and length and has powerful hands to shed blocks. The flashes of burst he shows when aligned as 3-technique are what will make him a top target in the portal. -- Tucker

What he brings to USC: The Trojans battled with Miami, Florida and Michigan for this pledge and are getting a much-needed addition for the middle of its D-line. Coach Lincoln Riley is having to replace Nate Clifton , Bear Alexander and Gavin Meyer at defensive tackle this offseason and succeeded in finding a plug-and-play starter with experience who they hope can start playing his best football as a senior. -- Olson

69. Nikhai Hill-Green , LB

Transferring from: Colorado | Transferring to: Alabama Seasons remaining: 1

HT: 6-2 | WT: 230 | Class: Redshirt senior

Background: After stops at Michigan and Charlotte, Hill-Green emerged as an impact defender and leader in Colorado's turnaround on defense in 2024, producing 82 tackles, 11.5 TFLs, four pass breakups and two interceptions to earn second-team All-Big 12 honors. -- Olson

What he brings to Alabama: Hill-Green likely could've been drafted had he decided to go pro, but instead he'll be a sixth-year senior for the Crimson Tide and bring veteran leadership to a defense that now looks loaded at linebacker with Deontae Lawson and Justin Jefferson returning. -- Olson

70. Jimmori Robinson , DE

Transferring from: UTSA | Transferring to: West Virginia Seasons remaining: 1

HT: 6-4 | WT: 265 | Class: Redshirt senior

Background: Robinson, a former junior college transfer, joined UTSA in 2021 and steadily developed into a star over his four seasons in the program. The veteran edge defender earned Defensive Player of the Year honors in the AAC last season after producing a conference-high 43 pressures, 17 tackles for loss and 10.5 sacks. According to ESPN Research, Robinson had the second-best edge pressure rate among FBS starters (19.2%) last season behind only Penn State's Abdul Carter . He's back for one extra season thanks to the Pavia ruling and will be a 25-year-old senior this fall. -- Olson

What he brings to West Virginia: Robinson is arguably the biggest gem of the Mountaineers' massive roster rebuild this offseason under coach Rich Rodriguez. He represents a critically important portal win for this program and should quickly emerge as one of the Big 12's most effective pass rushers in 2025. -- Olson

71. Princewill Umanmielen , DE

Transferring from: Nebraska | Transferring to: Ole Miss Seasons remaining: 2

HT: 6-5 | WT: 245 | Class: Sophomore

Background: The younger brother of Ole Miss star Princely Umanmielen had a solid two-year run as a pass rusher for the Huskers and is looking to take his game to the next level at another program. The former ESPN 300 recruit recorded 35 tackles, 30 pressures, 7 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks over 440 snaps. -- Olson

What he brings to Ole Miss: Umanmielen will follow in his brother's footsteps by continuing his career in Oxford. He's a talented athlete who is hoping to significantly increase his production as a junior after finishing with 2.5 TFLs and 0.5 sacks in 2024. -- Olson

72. CJ Daniels , WR

Transferring from: LSU | Transferring to: Miami Seasons remaining: 1

HT: 6-2 | WT: 205 | Class: Redshirt junior

Background: Daniels landed at LSU in 2024 as a prized portal addition after hauling in 106 passes for 1,954 yards and 21 touchdowns across four seasons at Liberty. And while Daniels failed to find the end zone in his lone season with the Tigers, he remained an effective target, pulling in 42 passes for 480 yards as LSU's fourth-most targeted pass catcher in 2024. -- Lederman

Scout's take: Daniels was a coveted pickup from the portal last year and produced for LSU this season. His value and production come from his excellent hands and body control. He may lack elite speed, but he is quick in his movements and is a savvy route runner who can get open, and that combined with his size (6-2, 205) make him a productive red zone target as well. -- Tucker

What he brings to Miami: The Hurricanes had a big need at wide receiver with Xavier Restrepo and Jacolby George heading off to the NFL and isaiah Horton transferring to Alabama. Daniels should see plenty of targets from Beck next season and have the kind of high-usage role he was hoping to earn at LSU to boost his draft stock. -- Olson

73. De'Zhaun Stribling , WR

Transferring from: Oklahoma State | Transferring to: Ole Miss Seasons remaining: 1

HT: 6-2 | WT: 200 | Class: Redshirt junior

Background: Stribling's 2,153 career receiving yards made him one of the most productive wideouts available in the portal this offseason. The veteran wideout led all Pac-12 freshmen in receiving in 2021 at Washington State and was Cam Ward 's No. 1 receiver in 2022. A broken wrist forced him to miss most of his junior season at Oklahoma State, but Stribling bounced back with a career year in 2024, catching 52 passes for 882 yards and six scores despite playing with three different QBs. -- Olson

What he brings to Ole Miss: The Rebels did an impressive job of reloading in the portal to help replace the production of Tre Harris , Jordan Watkins and Antwane Wells Jr . Stribling should play a leading role for this group alongside returning starter Cayden Lee with Deuce Alexander (Wake Forest), Harrison Wallace III (Penn State), Caleb Odom (Alabama) and Traylon Ray (West Virginia) all coming in to compete for targets. -- Olson

74. Daniel King , OT

Transferring from: Troy | Transferring to: North Carolina Seasons remaining: 1

HT: 6-5 | WT: 340 | Class: Senior

Background: King became one of the most experienced offensive linemen to hit the portal when he was granted an additional season of eligibility by the Pavia ruling. He started all 40 games over his three seasons at Troy, played more than 2,600 snaps and twice earned second-team All-Sun Belt honors. King primarily started at right guard over his first two seasons with the Trojans, but he also demonstrated he can play right tackle over the second half of last season. -- Olson

What he brings to North Carolina: Belichick and his new regime have brought in eight new offensive linemen via the portal as they work to rebuild up front. They'll likely be counting on King to step right in as a starter, though it'll be interesting to see if his best fit for this squad is right guard or tackle as he takes on ACC competition. -- Olson

75. Fluff Bothwell , RB

Transferring from: South Alabama | Transferring to: Mississippi State Seasons remaining: 3

HT: 5-10 | WT: 219 | Class: Freshman

Background: Bothwell, an unranked prospect in ESPN's rankings for 2024, entered the portal after one of the most productive rushing seasons of any freshman running back across the country. Bothwell exploded for 832 rushing yards on 111 attempts in 2024 while splitting carries with Kentrel Bullock , finishing fifth among FBS backs in yards per carry (7.5). He emerged as a red zone weapon with 13 rushing scores, tied for most in the Sun Belt, and was a third-team all-conference selection. -- Lederman

Scout's take: Bothwell is a shifty downhill runner with great balance and feet through the hole. He's not the fastest or most elusive but he doesn't leave yards on the field either. He's strong with a low center of gravity and makes quick subtle cuts through traffic, making it hard to wrap up cleanly. He can catch the ball out of the backfield as well. -- Tucker

What he brings to Mississippi State: Bothwell proved he's more than capable of playing in the SEC during his freshman season and is a big-time get for Jeff Lebby's offense. The Bulldogs were looking for a featured back in the portal but also managed to get leading rusher Davon Booth (1,231 all-purpose yards, 9 TDs) back for 2025 thanks to the Pavia ruling. Bothwell and Booth will be a formidable duo for Lebby's rebuild. -- Olson

76. Wayshawn Parker , RB

Transferring from: Washington State | Transferring to: Utah Seasons remaining: 3

HT: 6-0 | WT: 199 | Class: Freshman

Background: Parker emerged as the Cougars' top running back and second-leading rusher as a true freshman. He totaled 137 carries for 735 rushing yards and four rushing scores in 2024, trailing only Mateer in each category as the Cougars' ground attack helped power the No. 6 scoring offense in FBS. Parker set a program freshman record with his 149-yard performance against Utah State and proved tough to carry, averaging 3 yards after first contact per carry. -- Lederman

Scout's take: We listed Parker as an athlete coming out of high school because of his versatile tools, including great ball skills. He had a great freshman season at running back, showcasing quick lateral feet and vision to make defenders miss through the hole and the burst to get into the second level. Parks has good contact balance and is slippery, making it difficult to get a clean shot on him. He's not a game-breaker but is fast enough to avoid getting caught from behind. He checks all the boxes for an every-down back including polished hands and route running skills. -- Tucker

What he brings to Utah: Parker followed his running backs coach, Mark Atuaia, to Salt Lake City and should play a featured role in Utah's new-look offense in 2025. The Utes have restocked their backfield this offseason with Parker, NaQuari Rogers (New Mexico) and Devin Green (UNLV) joining the program via the portal. -- Olson

77. Nyziah Hunter , WR

Transferring from: Cal | Transferring to: Nebraska Seasons remaining: 3

HT: 6-2 | WT: 210 | Class: Redshirt freshman

Background: The former four-star recruit from Salinas, California, redshirted in 2023 and emerged as Fernando Mendoza's No. 1 receiver in his debut season, turning 59 targets into 40 catches for 578 yards and five touchdowns. He immediately picked up more than a dozen Power 4 offers upon entering the portal and became one of the more popular young wideouts on the market. -- Olson

Scout's take: Hunter is just scratching the surface of his potential. He possesses 10.62 100-meter speed and has developed physically into an imposing 6-foot-2, 210-pound target. He eats up cushions in a hurry, can threaten vertically and makes acrobatic, contested grabs. Hunter is still developing as a route-runner and will body-catch at times, but he could blossom into a difference-making P4 receiver. -- Tucker

What he brings to Nebraska: The Huskers were hunting for impact wideouts in the transfer portal and were willing to chase the great ones in order to give Dylan Raiola some legit No. 1 and 2 receivers for his sophomore year. The Huskers are getting a big-time talent who should develop into a go-to target alongside Dane Key for their five-star QB. -- Olson

78. Conner Weigman , QB

Transferring from: Texas A&M | Transferring to: Houston Seasons remaining: 2

HT: 6-3 | WT: 220 | Class: Redshirt sophomore

Background: After missing most of last season with a foot injury, Weigman hoped to put together a big year under the Aggies' new coaching staff. He struggled in their season-opening loss to Notre Dame and missed time with a shoulder injury. When he came back against then-No. 9 Missouri, he shined in throwing for 276 yards on 18-of-22 passing in a 41-10 victory. But after a slow start against LSU, the Aggies went with backup Marcel Reed for the rest of the season. Weigman has thrown for 2,694 yards, completing 60% of his throws over 15 career games with 21 total touchdowns and eight turnovers. He's eager to prove what he can do at his next stop when he's healthy and playing with confidence. -- Olson

Scout's take: Weigman is very similar to Jackson Arnold in the sense that he just needs a new landscape. He is 9-4 as a starter and has plenty of quality film showcasing his arm talent and accuracy in tight windows to make him highly desirable. Much like Haynes King , Weigman has to prove he can stay healthy for an entire season. He has competitive intangibles that we love and really good timing and rhythm as a passer. -- Luginbill

What he brings to Houston: Here's a smart move for both parties. Weigman gets to play for his hometown team and for coaches who developedMichael Pratt into the AAC Offensive Player of the Year at Tulane and an NFL draft pick. Coach Willie Fritz and his OC Slade Nagle get a talented passer who can help them level up on offense after their young QB Zeon Chriss showed potential but had 10 turnovers over seven starts. -- Olson

79. Devon Dampier , QB

Transferring from: New Mexico | Transferring to: Utah Seasons remaining: 2

HT: 5-10 | WT: 198 | Class: Sophomore

Background: Dampier emerged as one of the more electric playmakers in the Group of 5 in 2024 and earned first-team All-Mountain West honors. The former three-star recruit from Phoenix led the conference in total offense with 3,934 yards, including a whopping 1,166 rushing yards (third among FBS QBs) and 19 rushing touchdowns. He put up 390 yards and five TDs against Arizona, led an upset win over then-No. 18 Washington State and finished with a 71.3 QBR (eighth among G5 starters) in his first season as a full-time starter for the 5-7 Lobos. Dampier entered the portal after coach Bronco Mendenhall left for the Utah State job after one season. -- Olson

Scout's take: Dampier was one of the biggest surprise steals in the 2023 class for New Mexico and a hot commodity on the market for his dual-threat traits and creative playmaking. He reminds us of Jayden Daniels as both a runner and thrower. He's the type of player who can pull a rabbit out of a hat and defending his improvisational plays is a nightmare. -- Luginbill

What he brings to Utah: Coach Kyle Whittingham hired New Mexico's offensive coordinator, Jason Beck, so the Utes know exactly what they're getting in Dampier. This is clearly going to be an offense built around Dampier's playmaking ability that should be fun to watch in the Big 12. -- Olson

80. Mi'Quise Humphrey-Grace , DE

Transferring from: South Dakota | Transferring to: Kentucky Seasons remaining: 2

HT: 6-4 | WT: 255 | Class: Redshirt sophomore

Background: Grace earned Missouri Valley Defensive Player of the Year and FCS All-America honors in 2024 after a remarkably disruptive season in which he racked up 64 tackles, 18.5 TFLs and 9.5 sacks. That production quickly made him a popular target among SEC programs upon entering the portal. -- Olson

What he brings to Kentucky: The Wildcats have done a nice job restocking at edge rusher during this portal cycle, beating out a lot of Power 4 competition for Grace to go along with Kameron Olds (Kent State) and Sam Greene (USC). -- Olson

81. Joe Cotton , OT

Transferring from: South Dakota | Transferring to: Cincinnati Seasons remaining: 2

HT: 6-7 | WT: 315 | Class: Redshirt sophomore

Background: Cotton, a two-year starter at left tackle for the Coyotes and a second-team All-Missouri Valley Conference performer, had no shortage of Power 4 opportunities in the spring portal. He was a top-10 returning tackle at the FCS level this season, according to PFF grading, and surrendered just one sack last season on a team that reached the FCS semifinals. Cotton is making the move up after his position coach left for Vanderbilt in February. -- Olson

Scout's take: Cotton flew under the radar out of high school as a tall and physically underdeveloped offensive tackle. Three years later, he's a quintessential left tackle with great length and agility on the edge. He has an excellent first step and strong hand placement to control defenders. As a run blocker he's active in the second level and very athletic in the way he moves. It's a big transition from FCS to P4, but Cotton is gifted with size and athleticism, and should plug and play at the highest level of competition. -- Tucker

What he brings to Cincinnati: This was a massive get for the Bearcats. They've consistently done an impressive job of finding under-the-radar talent and quality starters in the portal, but this is a big splash and one they've been chasing since December while searching for a starter at left tackle. They got Cotton to shut down his process after his first official visit with Wisconsin, Michigan, Texas A&M and several more Power 4 programs fighting to get him on campus. -- Olson

82. Conner Moore , OT

Transferring from: Montana State | Transferring to: Michigan State Seasons remaining: 2

HT: 6-5 | WT: 309 | Class: Redshirt sophomore

Background: Moore is coming off an All-America season at Montana State, starting 15 games at left tackle for a Bobcats squad that played for the FCS national title and allowing just one sack, according to Pro Football Focus. The two-year starter also earned FCS Freshman All-America recognition as a redshirt freshman in 2023. He's ready to move up and prove he can compete at the highest level. -- Olson

What he brings to Michigan State: This was a critical recruiting win for the Spartans over Ohio State and Cincinnati. Moore would have been one of the top returning tackles at the FCS level in 2025 and should move right into the starting right tackle spot for a Michigan State line that has brought in four newcomers via the portal this offseason. -- Olson

83. Julian Humphrey , CB

Transferring from: Georgia | Transferring to: Texas A&M Seasons remaining: 2

HT: 6-1 | WT: 195 | Class: Redshirt sophomore

Background: Humphrey was the No. 177 overall recruit in the 2022 ESPN 300 and earned consistent playing time for the Bulldogs as a redshirt freshman, but he almost entered the portal until Georgia's staff convinced him to stay. He started Georgia's first 10 games in 2024 and recorded five pass breakups while allowing nine completions for 203 passing yards and two TDs on 24 attempts, according to ESPN Research. After he was benched during the Bulldogs' win over Tennessee, Humphrey decided to leave the program before the season ended. -- Olson

Scout's take: Humphrey would have probably started for most P4 programs given his skill set. He's tall, fast and explosive. He also has good ball skills and playmaker instincts. He knows how to utilize his lengthy frame to press and reroute and win leverage on the contested jump ball, and he's not afraid to come up and tackle. Putting it all together was the issue in Athens, particularly as a coverage defender. -- Tucker

What he brings to Texas A&M: The Houston native is coming home and will give the Aggies a talented corner with SEC experience. Humphrey will bring more competition for the starting corner spots with former transfers Will Lee III and Dezz Ricks . Ricks, a redshirt freshman, allowed the third-most receiving yards (376) in the SEC this season, according to ESPN Research. -- Olson

84. Bear Alexander , DT

Transferring from: USC | Transferring to: Oregon Seasons remaining: 2

HT: 6-3 | WT: 315 | Class: Junior

Background: The former No. 56 overall recruit in the 2022 ESPN 300 has always possessed a ton of talent but hasn't consistently played to his potential in one season at Georgia and two at USC. Alexander opted to redshirt and sit out most of the 2024 season after his father was unsatisfied with his role in the Trojans' defense. -- Olson

What he brings to Oregon: If Dan Lanning and the Ducks can bring out Alexander's best effort for an entire season, he'll have an opportunity to be a highly impactful addition for a front that will have to replace Derrick Harmon following his standout season in Eugene. -- Olson

85. Brice Pollock , CB

Transferring from: Mississippi State | Transferring to: Texas Tech Seasons remaining: 2

HT: 6-0 | WT: 195 | Class: Sophomore

Background: Pollock earned starts late in his true freshman season and raised his game as a sophomore, recording 10 pass breakups and an interception and allowing zero catches in six of 12 games for the Bulldogs in 2024, according to ESPN Research. -- Olson

What he brings to Texas Tech: Pollock is an instant starter for the Red Raiders and should continue developing into one of the Big 12's best cover men and an NFL draft pick during his time in Lubbock. -- Olson

86. Terrance Carter , TE

Transferring from: Louisiana | Transferring to: Texas Tech Seasons remaining: 2

HT: 6-2 | WT: 232 | Class: Redshirt sophomore

Background: Carter ranked seventh among FBS tight ends in receiving yards this season and earned first-team All-Sun Belt honors after catching 48 passes for 689 yards and four touchdowns for the Ragin' Cajuns. -- Olson

What he brings to Texas Tech: The Red Raiders got a great year out of another portal addition at tight end inJalin Conyers and are expecting Carter to step right in and be among the best in the Big 12 under new OC Mack Leftwich. -- Olson

87. Khmori House , LB

Transferring from: Washington | Transferring to: North Carolina Seasons remaining: 3

HT: 6-0 | WT: 213 | Class: Freshman

Background: The three-star signee from powerhouse St. John Bosco was ready to play right away for the Huskies as a true freshman, recording 35 tackles, four pass breakups and an interception on 303 snaps. He earned five starts during his debut season before electing to move on in the portal. -- Olson

What he brings to North Carolina: House is following defensive coordinator Steve Belichick to Chapel Hill and will team up with Missouri transfer Mikai Gbayor to give the Tar Heels one of the better linebacker combos in the ACC. -- Olson

88. Theran Johnson , CB

Transferring from: Northwestern | Transferring to: Oregon Seasons remaining: 1

HT: 5-11 | WT: 182 | Class: Redshirt junior

Background: The former three-star recruit from Indianapolis has been a two-year starter for the Wildcats and is coming off a big year with 53 tackles, 10 pass breakups and 2 interceptions, including an 85-yard pick-six against Iowa. Johnson earned second-team All-Big Ten honors from the league's coaches. -- Olson

What he brings to Oregon: After securing a pledge from Dillon Thieneman, the Ducks have added another proven Big Ten starter to their secondary. They're hoping Johnson can make the kind of impact current starters Jabbar Muhammad , Nikko Reed and Brandon Johnson have after joining the program via the portal. A one-year pickup also helps Oregon develop its youth at this spot with Na'eem Offord, ESPN's No. 1 cornerback recruit, joining this offseason. -- Olson

89. Eric Rivers , WR

Transferring from: Florida International | Transferring to: Georgia Tech Seasons remaining: 1

HT: 5-11 | WT: 175 | Class: Redshirt junior

Background: After getting off to a slow start over two seasons at Memphis, Rivers entered the portal and developed into the top receiver in Conference USA this season. He ranks fifth nationally in receiving yards, turning 62 receptions into 1,172 yards and 12 touchdowns, and set a school record with a 295-yard performance against New Mexico State on Oct. 29. Rivers had four more 100-yard games on the season. -- Olson

Scout's take: Rivers is not the biggest, which is why he may have slipped under the radar out of high school but he's plenty quick and elusive. He's a big-play weapon who consistently beats defenders vertically with great acceleration and tempo as a route runner. He's slippery with the ball in his hands but more of a big-catch receiver than a big-play-after-the-catch receiver. One of the best deep threats who was available in the portal. -- Tucker

What he brings to Georgia Tech: Georgia Tech lost its leading receiver to the portal in Eric Singleton but did a nice job replacing him with a highly productive receiver who had significant Power 4 interest. Adding Rivers to the returning trio of Haynes King, Jamal Haynes and Malik Rutherford should be fun to watch next fall. -- Olson

90. Jack Endries , TE

Transferring from: Cal | Transferring to: Texas Seasons remaining: 2

HT: 6-4 | WT: 240 | Class: Redshirt sophomore

Background: Endries initially joined the Bears as a walk-on and quickly proved he could become a big-time contributor on offense. He earned Freshman All-America recognition in 2023 as a redshirt freshman starter and was the third-leading receiver among ACC tight ends last season, producing a team-high 56 catches for 623 yards and two touchdowns. Endries has turned 55 receptions into first downs over the past two seasons, second among all returning FBS tight ends. -- Olson

Scout's take: Endries is not elite in size or speed, but does run well and has proven to be an active receiving target due to good hands and excellent body control. Endries really adjusts well to the ball, positions himself athletically and reads coverage well. He's a solid blocker, better at walling off and sealing. He was one of the more well-rounded and reliable receivers in the spring portal. -- Tucker

What he brings to Texas: Endries is just what the Longhorns needed in the post-spring portal. Gunnar Helm was extremely productive in coach Steve Sarkisian's offense last season, turning 76 targets into 60 catches, 786 receiving yards, 7 scores and second-team All-SEC honors. The Longhorns have a young, inexperienced tight end room for 2025 and needed a proven veteran. Quarterback Arch Manning should be pleased about this pickup. -- Olson

91. Tanner Koziol , TE

Transferring from: Wisconsin | Transferring to: Houston Seasons remaining: 1

HT: 6-7 | WT: 237 | Class: Junior

Background: Koziol, one of the most productive returning tight ends in the country, went back on the market after joining the Badgers ahead of 2024. Koziol caught 94 passes in 2023 (fourth in FBS) for Ball State and produced 839 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. The second-team All-MAC performer and former Freshman All-American is a flex tight end and a dependable target who led all FBS tight ends with 22 contested catches in 2024, according to ESPN Research, and turned 44 receptions into first downs. -- Olson

Scout's take: Koziol has a huge frame with a well-rounded skill set. He's a productive pass catcher who takes advantage of his size to shield smaller defenders on jump balls. He's a really good high pointer and that combination of height, hands and leaping ability make him a matchup nightmare. Koziol is also a really effective blocker with strong inside hand placement and finishing power to drive defenders back. -- Tucker

What he brings to Houston: The Cougars were in contention for Koziol back in December when he first entered the portal and got their second chance this spring. This is an exciting pickup for new OC Slade Nagle and transfer QB Conner Weigman who should pair nicely with Tulsa transfer tight end Luke McGary . -- Olson

92. Pat Coogan , C

Transferring from: Notre Dame | Transferring to: Indiana Seasons remaining: 1

HT: 6-5 | WT: 310 | Class: Redshirt junior

Background: Coogan started all 13 games for Notre Dame at left guard in 2023, then moved inside and earned 13 starts at center during the program's run to the CFP National Championship game against Ohio State. He surrendered just two sacks over those two seasons, according to ESPN Research, but decided to move on as a grad transfer. -- Olson

What he brings to Indiana: The Hoosiers know exactly what they're getting in Coogan after going up against him in their first-round CFP matchup. He'll step right in for four-year starter Mike Katic at center and help anchor a line that got a big boost via the portal with Kahlil Benson rejoining the program after a year at Colorado and Zen Michalski transferring in from Ohio State. -- Olson

93. Rocco Spindler , OG

Transferring from: Notre Dame | Transferring to: Nebraska Seasons remaining: 1

HT: 6-5 | WT: 325 | Class: Redshirt junior

Background: Spindler earned a starting role with the Fighting Irish in 2023 as their right guard and made 10 starts before going down with a season-ending knee injury. He fought hard to recover and regain his spot, starting 13 games for the Irish on their run to the national title game. -- Olson

What he brings to Nebraska: Spindler and Coogan were worth a lot on the open market at the end of their CFP run. For the Huskers, Spindler brings invaluable experience and leadership to a unit that needed to replace two senior starters this offseason. Spindler and Alabama transfer Elijah Pritchett should help solidify that situation and are big assets for a team trying to build around a rising sophomore QB in Dylan Raiola. -- Olson

94. Clev Lubin , OLB

Transferring from: Coastal Carolina | Transferring to: Louisville Seasons remaining: 2

HT: 6-3 | WT: 250 | Class: Redshirt sophomore

Background: Coastal Carolina found a real gem from the junior college ranks in Lubin. He spent his freshman season at Army before a stint at Iowa Western Community College, where he racked up 23.5 tackles for loss in 2023 and earned junior college All-America honors. Lubin put together another disruptive year for the Chanticleers in 2024 with 44 tackles, 12 TFLs, 9.5 sacks and 3 forced fumbles while producing the best pressure rate (17.2%) among all Sun Belt defenders, according to ESPN Research. Lubin hit the portal after earning first-team All-Sun Belt recognition. -- Olson

Scout's take: Lubin is an explosive edge rusher and will be one of the more disruptive defenders in this portal cycle. He generates excellent speed to power to beat blockers with strength but can also win with bend and great close at the edge. He has strong, active hands to stay clean and finishes ball carriers with power. He's not the biggest when it comes to anchoring the run but you can't look past his playmaking skills and natural get-off. -- Tucker

What he brings to Louisville: Lubin should be an ideal fit for the "Leo" hybrid end/linebacker spot in the Cardinals' defense and gets a big opportunity to prove he can be a disruptor against Power 4 competition. He could be one of the great steals of Louisville's portal class. -- Olson

95. DeVonta Smith , S

Transferring from: Alabama | Transferring to: Notre Dame Seasons remaining: 1

HT: 5-11 | WT: 192 | Class: Redshirt junior

Background: Smith waited his turn and finally earned a starting role in his fourth season at Alabama, taking over the starting nickel role and recording 30 tackles, five pass breakups and one forced fumble. The grad transfer saw more playing time on special teams than on defense under former coach Nick Saban but proved he could make an impact with 11 starts in 2024. -- Olson

What he brings to Notre Dame: The Fighting Irish have had excellent luck when it comes to recruiting veteran nickel corners out of the portal withThomas Harper and Jordan Clark . They're counting on Smith to continue that tradition. The Cincinnati native will get to play closer to home for his final season and play for a coaching staff that he knows well dating back to his high school recruitment. -- Olson

96. Bernard Gooden , DT

Transferring from: USF | Transferring to: LSU Seasons remaining: 1

HT: 6-1 | WT: 280 | Class: Senior

Background: Gooden doesn't have the career résumé of most of these top transfers, but he put more than enough on tape in 2024 to merit strong demand this spring. Gooden played a rotational role as a redshirt freshman at Wake Forest in 2022 before transferring to USF and sitting out the 2023 season. He achieved his breakout season with the Bulls last year, earning 11 starts and producing 27 pressures, 10 TFLs and 1.5 sacks to garner honorable mention All-AAC recognition. According to ESPN Research, Gooden's 21 interior pressures ranked second among all G5 defensive linemen. -- Olson

Scout's take: Gooden is an undersized La'Roi Glover -type of defensive tackle. He's at his best as a shade or a one technique, disruptive up-the-field penetrator. He's the type of player who can be a handful one-on-one. He's never going to be a true two gap, consistent run-stuffer due to his lack of height and weight, but Gooden can be a problem if you leave him alone on an island. He has strong hands to shed and escape and is active down the line of scrimmage with quickness. One of the better undersized defensive tackles in the portal. -- Luginbill

What he brings to LSU: The Tigers' coaching staff was interested in adding a defensive tackle in the spring portal window if they could find a difference-maker. They moved quickly to land Gooden and have bolstered their competitive depth at that spot by landing him and Texas transfer Sydir Mitchell . If Jacobian Guillory can come back strong from the season-ending torn Achilles he suffered last year, the Tigers should be just fine here with a defensive front that has improved considerably thanks to portal pickups. -- Olson

97. Tre Williams , DT

Transferring from: Clemson | Transferring to: Michigan Seasons remaining: 1

HT: 6-2 | WT: 315 | Class: Redshirt senior

Background: Williams played in 44 games over his five seasons at Clemson, but injuries prevented him from breaking through as a full-time starter. He played a career-high 292 snaps for the Tigers' defensive front in 2024 and has recorded 42 tackles and 10 TFLs over his career. He was granted an extra season of eligibility after taking a medical redshirt in 2023 due to a shoulder injury. -- Olson

What he brings to Michigan: If he can stay healthy, Williams could be a sneaky good get for the Wolverines as a veteran presence at defensive tackle for a unit that's trying to replace the production of first-round picks Mason Graham andKenneth Grant in the middle of its front. -- Olson

98. Alex Wollschlaeger , OT

Transferring from: Bowling Green | Transferring to: Kentucky Seasons remaining: 1

HT: 6-7 | WT: 305 | Class: Redshirt senior

Background: The massive right tackle started 39 games for the Falcons and developed into a first-team All-MAC selection in 2024. He surrendered two sacks on 401 snaps in pass protection, according to ESPN Research, and has logged more than 2,300 snaps over his five-year career. -- Olson

What he brings to Kentucky: The Wildcats faced some serious competition for Wollschlaeger but got him locked up on an official visit. He'll be a plug-and-play starter who replaces Gerald Mincey at right tackle and makes his new team better as it counts on several transfers to start up front in 2025. -- Olson

99. Kendal Daniels , LB

Transferring from: Oklahoma State | Transferring to: Oklahoma Seasons remaining: 1

HT: 6-5 | WT: 239 | Class: Redshirt junior

Background: Daniels, a former ESPN 300 recruit and the highest-rated signee of Oklahoma State's 2021 class, earned Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year honors at safety in 2022 and developed into a three-year starter for the Cowboys. His size makes him a unique piece on defense and Daniels has been productive in a variety of roles, with 240 tackles, 22.5 TFLs, 7.5 sacks, 13 pass breakups and 5 interceptions over his career. -- Olson

What he brings to Oklahoma: Brent Venables and his defensive coaches are going to have a lot of fun with Daniels this fall, and he could play a role similar to the one Isaiah Simmons had under Venables at Clemson. His combination of length, athleticism and experience will give him an opportunity to move around in this defense and shine in multiple spots. -- Olson

100. Gio Lopez , QB

Transferring from: South Alabama | Transferring to: North Carolina Seasons remaining: 3

HT: 6-0 | WT: 220 | Class: Redshirt freshman

Background: Lopez emerged as one of the most exciting young quarterbacks at the Group of 5 level in 2024, taking over as the Jaguars' starter and putting together a breakout year with 2,559 passing yards, 463 rushing yards, 25 total touchdowns and 7 turnovers for a 7-6 squad. The talented lefty was a top-25 FBS quarterback in total offense and ranked third in the Sun Belt in QBR (72.7) and yards per attempt (8.2). Lopez was rumored to be considering a transfer in December after receiving serious Power 4 interest, but he ended up waiting until after spring practice to make his move. -- Olson

Scout's take: Lopez is a crafty, riverboat gambler in the mold of Dillon Gabriel . Lopez is not your prototypical drop-back passer, but when he's on and in rhythm, he can distribute the ball and move the chains. He's like a point guard playing quarterback. He's also a fairly dynamic athlete who can create on his own and make plays when the initial call breaks down. He can also be used as a designated runner, which puts a lot of pressure on opposing defenses. There are times he can be streaky and must continue to display consistent accuracy and production, but he's got some moxie. -- Luginbill

What he brings to North Carolina: Lopez to North Carolina was pretty much a done deal as soon as he hit the portal. The Tar Heels were clearly going to be in the market for a QB this spring with few experienced options on the roster beyond Max Johnson , who is rehabbing from a broken leg. New coach Bill Belichick and his staff are trusting the young QB is ready to make the move up and will catch up quickly this summer. Lopez will have to earn it, but he'll be the favorite to win the starting job entering preseason camp. -- Olson
