Top 10 Players Who Entered the CFB Transfer Portal From CFP Teams

10) QB Beau Pribula, Penn State

Beau Pribula spent his time at Penn State as the backup quarterback. Although he didn't get much time to showcase his skills on the field, when he did, he took advantage of the opportunity. As a result, he earned a solid NIL deal with Missouri, where he has a good chance to start under center in 2025.

2) WR Mike Matthews, Tennessee

Mike Matthews made headlines over the weekend when he announced his decision to enter the transfer portal. The Tennessee wideout is a former five-star recruit who many top programs will heavily pursue.

3) CB Julian Humphrey (Georgia -> Texas A&M)

Julian Humphrey committed to Georgia as a four-star recruit out of high school. The six-foot defender struggled to carve out a role in a stout Georgia secondary in two seasons with the Bulldogs. As a result, Humphrey entered the portal and quickly found a home at Texas A&M.

4) LB Troy Bowles (Georgia -> Michigan)

Troy Bowles is another top recruit who fell on the depth chart at Georgia. The linebacker has all the tools to be a game-changer on defense, but he never received the opportunity to prove it under Kirby Smart. Now, Bowles tries his luck at Michigan under Sherrone Moore.

5) QB Air Noland (Ohio State -> South Carolina)

Air Noland committed to Ohio State as a top recruit out of high school. The dual-threat quarterback was expected to be the next big thing with the Buckeyes, but Ryan Day's moves in the transfer portal made Noland's tough decision much easier. The Georgia native opted to play closer to home and learn in an upcoming program at South Carolina.

6) CB Justyn Rhett, Georgia

The list continues with Justyn Rhett, who also struggled to find playing time at Georgia after committing as a highly recruited prospect. After spending two seasons with the Bulldogs and only recording three total tackles, Rhett hit the portal looking for a more prominent role elsewhere.

7) WR Squirrel White, Tennessee

Squirrel White is another talented wideout to enter the transfer portal after Tennessee's season came to an end. The wideout entered 2024 with high hopes after a strong 2023 campaign, but his season went the exact opposite. After a down year with the Vols, White hits the portal, hoping to find a new team closer to home.

EDGE Samuel M'Pemba (Georgia -> Texas A&M)

Samuel M'Pemba joins the list as another talented defender who fell victim to the numbers in his time with Georgia. The edge rusher struggled to carve out a role with the Bulldogs, but he decided a fresh start would be best for him. Now, he lands at Texas A&M to suit up for Mike Elko.

9) DL Sydir Mitchell (Texas -> LSU)

Sydir Mitchell committed to Texas as a talented four-star recruit out of high school. The defensive lineman didn't get much opportunity in his time with the Longhorns, which led to him entering the portal before the team's postseason run even began. After entering, it took no time for Mitchell to land at LSU.

10) QB Beau Pribula, Penn State

Beau Pribula spent his time at Penn State as the backup quarterback. Although he didn't get much time to showcase his skills on the field, when he did, he took advantage of the opportunity. As a result, he earned a solid NIL deal with Missouri, where he has a good chance to start under center in 2025.
