2025 Commitment: UCLA Bruins
A months-long saga unfolded as <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/nico-iamaleava/38678">Nico Iamaleava</a> decided on his next move. Ultimately, the freshman quarterback decided to leave the Tennessee Volunteers and depart for the sunny shores of the UCLA Bruins. Iamaleava had a standout 2024 campaign, leading the Vols to the CFP while throwing 2,616 yards and 19 touchdown passes.

2025 Commitment: Texas Tech Red Raiders
Being the smartest guy on a terrible football team was little consolation for <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/david-bailey/33780">David Bailey</a>. After terrorizing opponents for the last three seasons with the Stanford Cardinal, Bailey has committed to the Texas Tech Red Raiders for the 2025 campaign. Bailey has totaled 14.5 sacks in the previous three seasons, with 7.0 of those coming in his junior campaign.

Previous Team: California Golden Bears 
2025 Commitment: Oklahoma Sooners
The Oklahoma Sooners landed the premier rusher available in this year's transfer portal. <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/jaydn-ott/49560">Jaydn Ott</a> departed the California Golden Bears in favor of the once-proud Sooners. The junior is coming off a down year, accumulating just 385 yards on 116 carries. Still, his unforgiving running style is reminiscent of former Oklahoma greats.

2025 Commitment: Florida State Seminoles
<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/jeremiah-wilson/23863">Jeremiah Wilson</a> is on the move for the third time in as many seasons. The Florida native had a coming out party in 2024, totaling four interceptions and four pass deflections while patrolling the Houston Cougars' secondary.

Few tight ends were as productive as <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/tanner-koziol/29031">Tanner Koziol</a> in 2024. The hulking 6'7" pass-catcher pulled in 94 receptions for 839 yards and eight touchdowns with the Ball State Cardinals. That's exactly the type of profile the Houston Cougars need.

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/bernard-gooden/48912">Bernard Gooden</a> appears to be looking for some new challenges. The redshirt junior was a disruptive presence on the defensive line with the South Florida Bulls, recording 35 tackles, 1.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and two pass deflections. Gooden is one of the best, and the Alabama native could be seeking an opportunity with a more prominent program closer to home.

The former five-star recruit spent his freshman campaign with the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Subsequently, he entered the transfer portal and committed to the Texas A&amp;M Aggies for the 2025 season.

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/elo-modozie/44925">Elo Modozie</a> emerged as a disruptive pass-rusher in his sophomore campaign. Last season, Modozie totaled 6.5 sacks and 34 total tackles with the Army Black Knights, which was enough to capture the attention of a perennial contender.

The Stanford Cardinal exodus continued with the departure of highly-touted cornerback <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/julian-neal/28114">Julian Neal</a>.

Previous Team: North Carolina Tar Heels 
2025 Commitment: Ohio State Buckeyes
<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/beau-atkinson/33140">Beau Atkinson</a> was a beast for the North Carolina Tar Heels. In his sophomore season, the edge rusher totaled 7.5 sacks and 35 tackles, while being a disruptive presence on the line all season long. The Ohio State Buckeyes were one of several teams courting the North Carolina native, earning a commitment from Atkinson in the spring transfer window.

2025 Commitment: Cincinnati Bearcats
<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/joe-cotton/17832">Joe Cotton</a> only had one offer coming out of high school. The South Dakota Coyotes courted the offensive tackle, spending the first three seasons of his college career in his home state. His profile gradually increased, with Cottong earning a four-star prospect rating heading into the spring transfer portal. There, he was poached by the Cincinnati Bearcats, who are looking to solidify their offensive line.

2025 Commitment: Virginia Cavaliers
<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/emmanuel-karnley/38560">Emmanuel Karnley</a> amplified his transfer appeal with a solid 2024 campaign. The former Arizona Wildcats cornerback appeared in 10 games and recorded 16 tackles and five pass deflections. Karnley initially committed to the Miami Hurricanes for the 2025 season but re-entered the transfer portal during the spring window. Staying in the ACC, Karnley has committed to UVA.

2025 Commitment: Miami Hurricanes
<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/keelan-marion/30254">Keelan Marion</a> features a blazing fast top-end speed that will play well with the Miami Hurricanes next season. Marion spent the last two seasons with the BYU Cougars, totaling 562 receiving yards on 44 receptions. Additionally, he was the Cougars' return man, notching 472 kick return yards as a redshirt junior. Marion will add to those numbers in 2025.

Previous Team: California Golden Bears 
2025 Commitment: Texas Longhorns
While they earned a bowl game, the California Golden Bears' foray into ACC play was relatively unspectacular. Cal ended the 2024 campaign with a 6-7 record, despite boasting some top-end offensive weapons. One such player was <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/jack-endries/49664">Jack Endries</a>, who led the team in receptions and receiving yards. In doing so, the sophomore tight end caught the eye of the Texas Longhorns, committing to the SEC contenders for the 2025 season.

Previous Team: North Carolina Tar Heels 
2025 Commitment: TBD
Amare Campbell enters the transfer portal as one of the most coveted players available. Campbell is coming off a dominant sophomore campaign in which he totaled 72 tackles and 6.5 sacks. Not liking what Bill Belichick was bringing to the program, Campbell will spend his upperclassman years with a new team.

Previous Team: Miami Hurricanes 
2025 Commitment: UNLV Rebels
<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/elias-rudolph/22709">Elias Rudolph</a> was heavily recruited out of high school. Garnering interest from the most prestigious schools in the country, the edge rusher landed on the Miami Hurricanes for his freshman campaign. But after seeing game action in only one contest, Rudolph decided a change of scenery was necessary. The former four-star recruit landed on the UNLV Rebels as his next destination.

Previous Team: Syracuse Orange 
2025 Commitment: Texas Longhorns
<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/maraad-watson/31918">Maraad Watson</a> didn't need any time to acclimate to the college game. As a true freshman, the defensive lineman appeared in ten games for the Syracuse Orange, tallying 30 tackles, 1.0 sacks, and a pass deflection. As a result, Watson entered the spring transfer portal as a four-star prospect, committing to the Texas Longhorns for his sophomore campaign.

Previous Team: Syracuse Orange 
2025 Commitment: Penn State Nittany Lions
The Penn State Nittany Lions have some holes to fill on offense. The Nittany Lions turned to the transfer portal to add to their receiving corps. Penn State earned a commitment from <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/trebor-pena/31824">Trebor Pena</a>, who emerged as a top-end receiver in his redshirt junior season. Pena registered 941 receiving yards on 84 receptions, integral to the Syracuse Orange's passing attack.

Previous Team: Florida State Seminoles 
2025 Commitment: Syracuse Orange
As a high school prospect, TJ Ferguson was one of the premier offensive linemen in the country. Nationally, he was the fifth-ranked lineman, committing to the Alabama Crimson Tide. Ferguson failed to crack the starting lineup, transferring to the Florida State Seminoles for the 2024 season. After that disastrous campaign, he sought a more stable environment with the Syracuse Orange.

Previous Team: Ole Miss Rebels 
2025 Commitment: Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
Akelo Stone will spend the final season of his college eligibility with the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. The interior defensive lineman started his career with the Yellow Jackets before transferring to the Ole Miss Rebels for the 2023 and 2024 campaigns. While he made an impact in his first year, Stone was relegated to a secondary role last season. Surely, Stone will have an expanded role with Georgia Tech.

Previous Team: Penn State Nittany Lions 
2025 Commitment: North Carolina Tar Heels
At the start of next season, Smith Vilbert will be one of the oldest players in college football, albeit still light on experience. Originally part of the 2019 recruiting class, Vilbert's career has been stalled by injuries. Across five seasons, he's played in just 35 games and was relegated to a secondary role behind Abdul Carter in 2024. With the North Carolina Tar Heels, Vilbert can blaze his trail and enhance his NFL Draft stock.

Previous Team: Nebraska Cornhuskers 
2025 Commitment: North Carolina Tar Heels
Mikai Gbayor is another defensive stud who was poached in the transfer portal by Bill Belichick. Initially, the linebacker committed to the Missouri Tigers in the winter window, before re-entering the portal this spring. Subsequently, he signed on with the North Carolina Tar Heels for the 2025 season. Gbayor has seen a burgeoning role with the Nebraska Cornhuskers and will look to continue that trajectory as a senior.

Previous Team: California Golden Bears 
2025 Commitment: UCLA Bruins
Jaivian Thomas split time in the California Golden Bears' backfield last season, but was easily the more effective runner. The sophomore toted the ball 100 times, churning out 626 yards and seven touchdowns. Thomas will look for an expanded role with the UCLA Bruins next season, as he looks to prove himself in the Big Ten.

Previous Team: Stanford Cardinal 
2025 Commitment: Texas Longhorns
Emmett Mosley has some big shoes to fill with the Texas Longhorns. Texas lost its two top wide receivers to the NFL Draft, leaving a sizeable hole in its offensive production. Thankfully, they were able to replenish some of that loss via the transfer portal. The Longhorns earned a commitment from Emmet Mosley, following his standout freshman campaign with the Stanford Cardinal. Last season, Mosley hauled in 48 receptions for 525 yards and six touchdowns.

Another player who blossomed with his former program, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/andrew-simpson/23584">Andrew Simpson</a>, emerged as an elite outside linebacker with the Boise State Broncos.

The former Rutgers Scarlet Knights linebacker entered the spring portal, looking to make the most of his senior season. His last time on the field.

In 2021, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/josh-mccray/22403">Josh McCray</a> burst onto the scene with the Illinois Fighting Illini. The running back churned out 549 yards as a freshman, failing to eclipse that total until his redshirt junior campaign in 2024. That convinced the Georgia Bulldogs to take a chance on him, luring him to Athens for the upcoming season.

2025 Commitment: Ole Miss Rebels
The Troy Trojans have a gaping hole in their backfield to fill after the departure of <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/damien-taylor/32326">Damien Taylor</a>. The former three-star recruit handled the lion's share of the rushing duties last season, carrying the ball 173 times for 1,010 rushing yards.

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/jamarrion-solomon/36326">Jamarrion Solomon</a> has spent the past three seasons with the FIU Panthers, seeing limited game action over that stretch. The undersized defensive lineman enrolled back in 2022, burned a redshirt season, and then did not take to the field as a freshman. Still, as a sophomore, Solomon put together a solid campaign. He recorded 20 tackles across eight games, playing a more prominent role as the season progressed. Needing a change of scenery, Solomon signed on with the Charlotte 49ers.

It has been a busy offseason for <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/nadame-tucker/23852">Nadame Tucker</a>. The former Houston Cougar entered the transfer portal back in December. Tucker withdrew from the portal at the end of March without any new opportunities worth pursuing.

2025 Commitment: East Tennessee State Buccaneers
<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/qua-birdsong/27783">Qua Birdsong</a> spent his first collegiate campaign with the UCF Knights. Not surprisingly, the linebacker-turned-cornerback was used sparingly as a freshman. Birdsong recorded two tackles while seeing action in just two games. With that, Birdsong decided to head into the transfer portal looking for a shot with another program. He found what he was looking for with the East Tennessee State Buccaneers.

2025 Commitment: North Carolina Tar Heels
At his best, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/dantre-robinson/44067">D'Antre Robinson</a> is one of the best defensive linemen in the country; however, consistency continues to limit his ceiling. The Orlando native spent his freshman campaign with his home state Florida Gators, but is seeking a change of scenery for the 2025 season. Robinson found that signing on with the North Carolina Tar Heels, where he can learn from the best.

Winning makes all the difference. Just ask Hykeem Williams. The wide receiver was part of the 2023 Florida State Seminoles squad that was left out of the CFP despite going 13-0 in the regular season. After their disastrous 2024 campaign, Williams decided to leave the program. The next passes he catches will come with the Colorado Buffaloes.

2025 Commitment: California Golden Bears
Last season, we saw exactly what <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/seth-mcgowan/63319">Seth McGowan</a> is capable of. As a part of an underwhelming New Mexico State Aggies side, the junior running back totaled 823 yards on 152 carries. Those totals will continue to rise with the Kentucky Wildcats next season.

Over the past three seasons, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/caleb-wheatland/47703">Caleb Wheatland</a> has been a disruptive presence for the Maryland Terrapins. As a junior, the linebacker totaled 42 tackles, 4.0 sacks, two passes defended, and a fumble recovery. Wheatland will test his skills against some of the best players in the country, transferring to the Auburn Tigers.

Previous Team: Kansas State Wildcats 
2025 Commitment: Colorado Buffaloes
Deion Sanders flexed his recruiting muscles to land one of the top secondary defenders in the transfer portal. Noah King enrolled at Kansas State in January, electing to enter the transfer portal before playing a down for the Wildcats. A highly touted prospect, King's development could take off under Sanders's tutelage.

A solid all-around athlete, who spent his high school years moonlighting as a dominant basketball player, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/kam-pringle/33415">Kam Pringle</a> eventually settled on playing football in college. He spent his freshman campaign with the South Carolina Gamecocks, but only saw action in an early-season blow-out versus the Akron Zips. Pringle landed with the Syracuse Orange this offseason, where he will be expected to take on a more robust role in 2025.

2025 Commitment: Syracuse Orange
While he has been used sparingly, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/steve-angeli/46075">Steve Angeli</a> has proven worthy of a starting job in the FBS. With that, the junior quarterback will depart the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and join the Syracuse Orange for the upcoming campaign.

Previous Team: Wake Forest Demon Deacons 
2025 Commitment: Coastal Carolina Chanticleers
A productive wide receiver out of Texas, Trishstin Glass revoked his commitment from the Wake Forest Demon Deacons without ever suiting up for the program.

The three-star recruit isn't going far, committing to the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers.

Over the past few seasons, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/andre-roye/47758">Andre Roye Jr.</a> has seen an increasing role with the Maryland Terrapins. The offensive tackle appeared in three games as a true freshman in 2022, following that up with six and seven games in each of the proceeding seasons.

After redshirting as a freshman, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/oryend-fisher/32568">Oryend Fisher</a> still saw more action in 2023 than in 2024. The edge rusher appeared during his redshirt campaign, recording one tackle in a blowout win versus Duquesne. Subsequently, he didn't make it onto the field last season. Fisher appears to have found the opportunity he was looking for with the UTEP Miners.

Another South Carolina freshman who was used sparingly last season, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/wendell-gregory/33372">Wendell Gregory</a> was searching for a new opportunity via the transfer portal.
