2) IOL Cash Cleveland, (Colorado -> Texas Tech)

Cash Cleveland became a top available player in the transfer portal after announcing his decision to enter. The star center was one of the lone bright spots for the Buffaloes' offensive line last season. Cleveland visited Texas Tech and decided a fit with the Red Raiders was best for him.

3) QB Dante Reno, South Carolina

Dante Reno committed to South Carolina as a four-star recruit out of high school. The quarterback was expected to be a big part of the offense in the future. Still, after the breakout of LaNorris Sellers and Air Noland joining the Gamecocks earlier this offseason, Reno has opted to enter the transfer portal. Expect the QB to have plenty of options.

4) CB Brian Nelson, North Texas

Brian Nelson put together a breakout season this past year at North Texas, totaling 53 tackles, four interceptions, and three pass defenses. After an impressive year, the Texas native decided to enter the transfer portal. With multiple years of eligibility remaining, Nelson will likely be a top target for multiple teams.

5) RB DeKalon Taylor, UIW

DeKalon Taylor spent the last three seasons at Incarnate Word. The running back broke out this past year, rushing for 909 yards and nine touchdowns. Taylor entered the portal hoping to prove he could contribute to a top team.

6) LB Justin Flowe, Arizona

Justin Flowe committed to Oregon as a five-star+ prospect out of high school. After three seasons with the Ducks, the linebacker transferred to Arizona, hoping a fresh start could help him get his career back on track. However, after one season with the Wildcats, the defender returns to the transfer portal.

7) OL Zack Owens, Colorado

Zack Owens committed to Colorado as a highly touted recruit out of high school. After one season with the Buffaloes, the six-foot-six lineman decided to enter the transfer portal. Expect the Georgia native to have a robust market.

8) TE Brody Dalton, (Troy -> Alabama)

Brody Dalton played this past season at Troy, where he reeled in 15 passes for 188 yards and three touchdowns. Although his stats don't pop out at you, the six-foot-five pass catcher has the skillset and the size to be a big-time playmaker in the right system. Looking to prove that, Dalton now heads to Alabama.

9) QB Pierce Clarkson, Ole Miss

Pierce Clarkson committed to Louisville as a top recruit out of high school. After two seasons with the Cardinals, the dual-threat QB opted to transfer to Ole Miss earlier this offseason. A few months later, Clarkson has decided a fit with the Rebels wasn't for him as he re-enters the portal.

10) CB Brent Austin, USF

Brent Austin began his college career at James Madison before transferring to South Florida. In his lone season with the Bulls, the defender put together a career year, totaling 48 tackles, 10 pass defenses, and two interceptions. Expect Austin to have plenty of suitors after entering the portal.
