10) TE Nick Harris, UConn
Nick Harris played one season for UConn, in which he totaled one reception for only four yards and a touchdown in 2023. Despite the playing time, the six-foot-seven pass catcher has the size and tools to be an absolute big-time playmaker in the right system. Now, he enters the portal seeking exactly that.

3) WR Deion Colzie, Notre Dame
Deion Colzie committed to Notre Dame as a four-star recruit out of high school. The wideout struggled to make the impact on the field that he was recruited for, but his lack of a role on offense largely contributed to that. As a result, the pass catcher has opted to enter the portal following Notre Dame's National Championship loss and pursue a role elsewhere.

4) LB Jordan Poole, NC State
Jordan Poole enters his name into the portal after three underwhelming seasons at NC State. Poole enters the portal seeking a fresh start and a more significant role elsewhere. The running back turned linebacker will continue his position change with a new squad.
5) IOL Sam Pendleton, Notre Dame
Sam Pendleton is yet another Notre Dame player to enter the portal following the end of the season. The offensive lineman struggled to earn a role on Marcus Freeman's squad, leading to him entering the portal hoping to find his desired role with a new team. Considering how much value the players in the trenches carry, Pendleton should find a team quickly.
6) WR Jayden Thomas, Notre Dame
Jayden Thomas is another Notre Dame receiver hitting the portal looking for a more significant role at his next stop. In three seasons with the Fighting Irish, the wideout has totaled 838 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. The talent is there, but the opportunity hasn't been.
7) IOL Malik McGowan (North Carolin -> UNLV)
Malik McGowan entered the portal following the head coach change for the Tar Heels. The offensive lineman had plenty of suitors, but a chance to compete for a starting job with his new team was a priority. Now, he lands at UNLV.
8) WR Dakota Thomas (Southern Miss -> Nevada)
Dakota Thomas entered the portal after spending the previous season at Southern Miss. The wideout didn't get much of an opportunity on the field, which led him to the portal, seeking a fresh start. Thomas will get the new beginning he was looking for at Nevada in 2025.
9) RB ChaVon McEachern, Charlotte
ChaVon McEachern has spent three seasons at Charlotte, where he has struggled to make a significant impact for the 49ers. Despite not having flashy stats, the running back's 4.9 yards per carry on his career speaks for itself. McEachern last played in 2022, but he could be an underrated pickup for whichever team that lands him.
10) TE Nick Harris, UConn
Nick Harris played one season for UConn, in which he totaled one reception for only four yards and a touchdown in 2023. Despite the playing time, the six-foot-seven pass catcher has the size and tools to be an absolute big-time playmaker in the right system. Now, he enters the portal seeking exactly that.
