Previous Team: Tennessee Volunteers 
2025 Commitment: UCLA Bruins
<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/nico-iamaleava/38678">Nico Iamaleava</a> entered the spring transfer portal as one of the top players available. Somehow, the UCLA Bruins were able to nab the game-changing quarterback. Iamaleava is an athletic specimen with elite arm strength and will transform the Bruins program. The California native led the Tennessee Volunteers to the CFP in his freshman campaign. A similar outcome with UCLA would be nothing short of disappointing.

Previous Team: Stanford Cardinal 
2025 Commitment: Texas Tech Red Raiders
A highly sought-after prospect out of high school, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/david-bailey/33780">David Bailey</a> spent the first three seasons of his career with the Stanford Cardinal. As the program failed to restore itself, Bailey sought a new opportunity in a different conference. The talented edge rusher is bringing his career 14.5 sacks and four-star pedigree to the Texas Tech Red Raiders for the 2025 campaign.

2025 Commitment: Oklahoma Sooners
It may not have been his most productive campaign, but a down year in 2024 didn't impact <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/jaydn-ott/49560">Jaydn Ott's</a> perceived value in the transfer portal. After totaling just 385 yards on 116 carries as a junior, Ott has joined the Oklahoma Sooners for the upcoming campaign. The four-star recruit is just one season removed from a 1,300-yard campaign, and he should have no problem getting back to that level with the Sooners.

Recurrent ACL injuries may have negatively impacted <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/mohamed-toure/40266">Mohamed Toure's</a> perceived value, but his ability on the field remains almost unmatched. In 2023, the Rutgers Scarlet Knights linebacker recorded 92 tackles, 4.5 sacks, a forced fumble, and an interception. Then, a second ACL injury prevented him from taking the field in 2024. Toure will be a wrecking ball for the Miami Hurricanes next season.

As a true freshman, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/elias-rudolph/22709">Elias Rudolph</a> saw limited action with the Miami Hurricanes. The hulking defensive end appeared in just one game in 2024, recording a tackle in a 62-0 blowout versus Ball State.

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/andrew-simpson/23584">Andrew Simpson</a> has been a wrecking ball in the Boise State Broncos' linebackers corps for the past three seasons. The California native appeared in 12 of 14 games last season and accumulated 45 tackles, 3.0 sacks, three forced fumbles, and an interception. While those were modest declines relative to his 2023 production, Simpson has proven to be a disruptive force many teams will covet. The North Carolina Tar Heels were the lucky program to earn Simpson's commitment.

The former four-star recruit entered the transfer portal at the end of the regular season, signing on with the Texas A&amp;M Aggies for the 2025 campaign.
