105) LB Khalib Johns, Kent State
Khalib Johns has spent the last five seasons at Kent State, where he showed improvement each season. Following a career year, totaling 46 tackles and one forced fumble, the linebacker entered the transfer portal. If Johns gains an extra year of eligibility, he could be an underrated addition for any team.

Prediction: Fresno State
1) DL Alexander Whitmore, UNLV
Alexander Whitmore enters the transfer portal after two standout seasons at UNLV. The Rebels defender racked up 39 tackles, two sacks, and a pass defense last year. Whitmore will likely garner plenty of interest on the open market.

Prediction: Missouri
2) CB Markevious Brown, Purdue
Markevious Brown began his college journey at Ole Miss, where he spent two seasons before transferring to Purdue. After two years with the Boilermakers, the corner enters the portal seeking another fresh start. With the tools and speed to be a game changer in the secondary, expect plenty of interest.

Prediction: Florida State
3) WR Zeed Haynes, Syracuse
Zeed Haynes committed initially to Georgia as a top recruit out of high school. After a lackluster start with the Bulldogs, the wideout transferred to Syracuse, where he struggled to find a bigger role. Now, he enters the portal again.

Prediction: Penn State
4) CB Jaydan Mayes, Army
Jaydan Mayes enters the transfer portal after deciding to depart from Army after two seasons. The corner showed flashes of his ability as a reliable secondary defender with the Black Knights, and now looks to prove he can do it elsewhere. Keep an eye on Mayes to earn a solid role elsewhere.

Prediction: Miami-OH
5) WR Mavin Anderson, Cal
Mavin Anderson committed initially to Cal as a highly recruited prospect out of high school, but in three seasons with the Golden Bears, he's struggled to produce. Hoping a fresh start could be the kickstart he needs to rejuvenate his career, the wideout enters the transfer portal. Expect Anderson to interest multiple teams in need of an offensive playmaker.

Prediction: Texas State
6) WR Freddie Dubose Jr., Texas
Freddie Dubose committed to Texas as a top recruit in his respective class. However, in a loaded receiver room, the wideout has decided it may be in his best interest to enter the transfer portal before ever suiting up for the Longhorns. Keep an eye out for the Texas native.

Prediction: Fresno State
7) LB Mali Hamrick, North Carolina
Mali Hamrick is another top recruit entering the transfer portal seeking an increased role elsewhere. In three seasons with the Tar Heels, the North Carolina native has struggled to carve out a role that showcases his skillset. Now, with a new head coach in Bill Belichick running the show, Hamrick feels a fresh start is needed.

Prediction: Duke
8) RB Gabriel Winowich, Rutgers
Gabe Winowich originally committed to Rutgers out of high school. After one season with the Scarlet Knights, where he struggled to find the field, the running back opted to enter the transfer portal. Expect him to seek a landing spot with a squad that will allow for him to see the field immediately.

Prediction: Indiana
9) QB Chandler Rogers, Cal
Chandler Rogers transferred to Cal last offseason, hoping to compete for the starting job after a breakout season at North Texas the year prior. However, Rogers lost out on the starting job and served as the backup quarterback for most of the season. The quarterback's future remains uncertain as he continues to navigate portal options.

Prediction: Tulane
10) LB Reggie Peterson, FIU
Reggie Peterson spent four seasons at FIU, where he broke out in his third year, totaling 101 tackles, 3.5 sacks, and an interception. The defender entered 2024 with plenty of hype around him, but after a fallout with the program, the linebacker played just one game before stepping away from the team. As he looks for a new program, a team like Coastal Carolina could be a good landing spot that benefits Peterson and the Chanticleers.

Prediction: Coastal Carolina
11) WR Noreel White, Ole Miss
Noreel White committed to Ole Miss as a highly recruited prospect out of high school. In his lone season with the Rebels, he reeled in just two receptions for 34 yards during his freshman year. Now, he heads to the transfer portal seeking a larger role elsewhere.

Prediction: Mississippi State
12) IOL Jack Hasz, UNLV
Jack Hasz entered the transfer portal seeking an extra year of eligibility. The center proved to be a reliable lineman for the Rebels this past season, and if he does indeed depart the program, it'll be a big loss for UNLV. However, if given an extra year of eligibility, it wouldn't be a shock to see him return to the Rebels for next season.

Prediction: UNLV
13) RB Savion Red, Nevada
Savion Red enters the transfer portal after an impressive season at Nevada. The running back racked up 687 rushing yards and eight touchdowns, averaging 5.8 yards per carry. Red will likely find a new home fairly quickly as the backfield options remain scarce.

Prediction: Sacramento State

Eric Karner committed to Texas A&M as a four-star recruit out of high school. However, he opted to enter the portal seeking a sizable role elsewhere before playing for the Aggies. Karner will be a top pass-catching tight end on the market.

Prediction: Michigan State
15) EDGE Antonio Doyle, UNLV
Antonio Doyle originally committed to Texas A&M as a four-star recruit out of high school. After a lackluster freshman season, the edge rusher transferred to Jackson State, where he spent two years before transferring to UNLV ahead of last season.

Prediction: TCU

Prediction: Florida State
17) TE Julien Randolph, North Carolina

Prediction: Virginia Tech
18) WR Larry Simmons, Southern Miss
Larry Simmons impressed this past season at Southern Miss, where he racked up 27 receptions for 421 yards and a touchdown. The six-foot-one wideout entered the portal, hoping his lone season with the Golden Eagles was enough to earn him a sizable role with a top program.

Considering the premium of the trenches, it won't be surprising to see Asenuga have his wish granted.

Prediction: TCU
20) TE Bryce Damous, UAB
Bryce Damous has spent the last three seasons at UAB as a depth tight end for the Blazers.

Keep an eye on the West Virginia native to find a role with a new squad ahead of next season.

Prediction: Old Dominion
21) LB Tre Pinkney, Southern Miss

Looking to build on his strong season, the Georgia native hits the transfer portal.

Prediction: Georgia Tech
22) S Josh Lair, Baylor
Josh Lair committed to Baylor out of high school as a highly recruited prospect. In his lone season with the Bears, the versatile safety struggled to find a sizable role, which led him to the transfer portal.

Prediction: Washington
23) LB Obinna Onwuka, West Virginia
Obinna Onwuka added his name to the transfer portal after deciding a split from West Virginia would be best for him and his career. At six feet four, the talented linebacker has the speed and athleticism to impact wherever he lands immediately. Considering the eligibility remaining, it feels likely that a team will take the chance on him sooner rather than later.

Prediction: Virginia Tech
24) WR Trae Davis, Kansas State
Trae Davis committed to Kansas State as a top recruit, but he entered the portal after struggling to find the field during his freshman season. The Texas native has the potential to be an immediate impact player wherever he lands. Expect Davis to have plenty of offers on the open market.

Prediction: Mississippi State
28) EDGE Alex Bray, Illinois

Prediction: Georgia State
30) RB Shadrick Byrd, Charlotte
Shadrick Byrd began his college career at Iowa before transferring to Charlotte, where he's spent the last three seasons.

Prediction: FAU
34) DL Elliot Donald, Pitt

Hoping a fresh start allows him to do that, the Pennsylvania native enters the transfer portal.

Prediction: USC
35) LB Terrence Cooks, TCU
Terrence Cooks Jr. enters the transfer portal after spending two seasons at TCU. The six-foot-two linebacker joined the Horned Frogs with high expectations for himself in the team's defensive system.

With multiple years of eligibility remaining and plenty of talent to offer, Cooks could be a steal for whatever team lands him.

Prediction: Texas State
36) LB Mohamed Kaba, South Carolina

Prediction: Norfolk State

However, after transferring to Kansas, the shifty runner's career seemed to go south, which led him to join Kent State ahead of the 2024 season.

Prediction: Kansas State
41) QB Javance Tupou'ata-Johnson, San Diego State

Instead, he saw minimal opportunities which led him to the transfer portal.

Prediction: Illinois

However, he heads to the transfer portal seeking a fresh start with a decision to make about his future position.

Prediction: Oklahoma State
45) S Erik McCarty, Oklahoma

Prediction: Liberty
56) CB Cristian Conyer, Coastal Carolina

Prediction: Utah State
69) RB Kejon Owens, FIU

92) TE Kendall Karr, Coastal Carolina
Kendall Karr began his career at North Carolina, but quickly transferred to Coastal Carolina after seeing only one reception during his first year with the Tar Heels. In two seasons with the Chanticleers, the tight end saw increased usage, but still not the size of opportunity he coveted. As a result, Karr returns to the transfer portal.

Prediction: East Carolina
93) S Robert Rahimi, San Jose State
Robert Rahimi spent two seasons at Liberty before transferring to San Jose State. In his first season with the Spartans, the safety put together a career year, totaling 82 tackles, five pass defenses, five interceptions, and a sack. After entering the portal, he immediately became a priority target for multiple teams, which should help him find a new home soon.

Prediction: SMU
94) RB Austyn Dendy, Missouri
Austyn Dendy committed to Missouri out of high school as a highly recruited prospect. After not seeing any time on the field during his freshman year, the running back opted to enter the transfer portal. Keep an eye on Dendy to land a role elsewhere ahead of the 2025 season.

Prediction: Bowling Green
95) QB C.J. Ogbonna, Buffalo
C.J. Ogbonna put together a breakout season under Pete Lembo in his first year as head coach at Buffalo. The quarterback felt that a change of scenery could be best for him to take another step and prove he's an NFL prospect, but since entering the portal, he's yet to find a new home.

Prediction: Buffalo
96) RB Marquise Henderson, Clemson
Marquise Henderson committed to Clemson as a highly recruited running back prospect. Still, after being dismissed from the program earlier this offseason, the playmaker never got the chance to show his potential with the Tigers. Quickly after being dismissed, Henderson announced his decision to transfer to Liberty, where he was assumed to be headed for a significant role in the Flames backfield. However, after opting not to enroll with the team, Henderson finds himself back in the portal.

Prediction: LSU
97) EDGE Ean Rhea, Emory & Henry
Ean Rhea enters the transfer portal seeking a larger role heading into the 2025 season. The edge rusher showed flashes at Emory & Henry, but due to the level of competition, it'll take an impact at a higher level to turn the heads of top programs.

Prediction: Miami (OH)
98) CB Josh Philostin, Indiana
Josh Philostin entered the transfer portal out of Indiana, seeking a larger role and a chance to contribute immediately in 2025. Between his talent and multiple years of eligibility remaining, the undersized corner should have plenty of suitors to give him that opportunity.

Prediction: Rhode Island
99) EDGE Romando Johnson, West Virginia
Romando Johnson committed to West Virginia out of high school, but quickly opted for a fresh start this offseason after multiple changes to the Mountaineers' coaching staff. The edge rusher opted to enter the transfer portal. Expect the versatile athlete to have plenty of suitors interested.

Prediction: UMass
100) CB Malcolm Greene, Virginia
Malcolm Greene adds his name to the list of talented secondary defenders seeking a fresh start this offseason. The versatile corner originally committed to Clemson out of high school, where he spent three seasons before transferring to Virginia. Now, he hits the portal once again, seeking another fresh start.

Prediction: UMass
101) CB Trey Williams, Air Force
Trey Williams has spent the last three seasons at Air Force, where he's continuously proven to be a dynamic defender in the Falcons' secondary. Hoping to capitalize on his strong 2024 campaign, the corner entered the transfer portal. As the 2025 season looms, time is running out for the corner to find a squad before the start of the season.

Prediction: Georgia Tech
102) IOL Nicholas Hilliard, Princeton
Nicholas Hilliard adds his name to the list of available offensive linemen in the transfer portal. Considering the importance of the position, it won't be shocking to see a talented lineman like Hilliard find a team quickly, especially with his versatility.

Prediction: Austin Peay
103) CB Jaylen Dotson, Kent State
Jaylen Dotson entered the transfer portal after spending last season at Kent State, where he showed flashes of how impactful he can be in the secondary. The corner had been linked to a fit at Incarnate Word, and with the season looming, a fit would be wise.

Prediction: Incarnate Word
104) EDGE Isaiah Crawford, Texas Tech
Isaiah Crawford committed to Texas Tech originally out of high school as a top recruit, but before getting the chance to suit up for the Red Raiders, the defensive lineman found himself in the transfer portal seeking a fresh start. The talent is there, but off-field issues have hindered his ability to showcase it. Hopefully, a change of scenery will allow him to do that.

Prediction: Abilene Christian
105) LB Khalib Johns, Kent State
Khalib Johns has spent the last five seasons at Kent State, where he showed improvement each season. Following a career year, totaling 46 tackles and one forced fumble, the linebacker entered the transfer portal. If Johns gains an extra year of eligibility, he could be an underrated addition for any team.

Prediction: Fresno State
1) DL Alexander Whitmore, UNLV
Alexander Whitmore enters the transfer portal after two standout seasons at UNLV. The Rebels defender racked up 39 tackles, two sacks, and a pass defense last year. Whitmore will likely garner plenty of interest on the open market.
