10) QB Walker White, Auburn
Walker White committed to Auburn as a four star recruit out of high school. The quarterback seemed to be in line to claim the starting spot ahead of next season before Hugh Freeze chose to go portal shopping. Still, with Jackson Arnold incoming, the writing was on the wall for White to hit the portal and find a fresh start elsewhere.

1) WR Zachariah Branch, USC
Zachariah Branch committed to USC as a five-star prospect out of high school. In two seasons with the Trojans, the talented wideout has yet to emerge as the playmaker in Lincoln Riley's offense, which he hoped to become when he decided on Southern California. Now, after another lackluster season for USC, the wide receiver enters the portal where he'll quickly garner interest.

2) CB Tony Grimes, UNLV
Tony Grimes was ranked as a top five-star prospect in his respective class out of high school before committing to North Carolina. The talented defender spent three seasons with the Tar Heels before ultimately finding himself at UNLV this past season. The six-foot-two defender has shown promise throughout his collegiate career, but he's yet to emerge as the lockdown corner he has the skill set to be. Now, he hits the portal again, looking for a fresh start.
3) DL Damon Payne Jr., Alabama
The Alabama transfers continue piling up, with the latest being Damon Payne Jr. The defensive lineman has served as a rotation piece in the trenches for the Crimson Tide, but now he enters the portal looking for a more prominent role elsewhere. With teams looking to bolster their defensive lines ahead of next season, the six-foot-four defender will likely have plenty of suitors to choose from.
4) EDGE T.J. Searcy, Florida
T.J. Searcy joins a list of talented defenders to hit the transfer portal after the season's end. The edge rusher finished the season with 34 total tackles, three sacks, and two forced fumbles. With multiple years left of eligibility, Searcy will be a top target for multiple teams looking to improve their pass rush.
5) DL Sydir Mitchell, Texas
Sydir Mitchell was reportedly on the fence about entering the portal or staying put with Texas. The opportunity to compete for a championship yearly seemed enticing, but in the end, the six-foot-six freshman opted to find a more significant role elsewhere. Considering the talent he possesses and the remaining years of eligibility, he'll be a coveted target for multiple teams.

6) WR Will Pauling, Wisconsin
Will Pauling began his college journey at Cincinnati before transferring to Wisconsin in 2023. In his first year with the Badgers, Pauling put together an impressive season with 837 receiving yards and six touchdowns. However, after entering this season with high expectations, Pauling seemingly took a step back. Now, he hits the portal, looking to return to his former self.
7) WR Malachi Fields, Virginia
Malachi Fields spent four seasons at Virginia where he's emerged as a reliable playmaker over the past two seasons for the Cavaliers. As the six-foot-four senior looks to find a spot with a contending team elsewhere, the Virginia native will hit the portal to see what opportunities are available.
8) EDGE Omari Abor, SMU
Omari Abor committed to Ohio State as a four-star recruit in high school. After struggling to see the field with the Buckeyes, the Texas native transferred to SMU, where he saw more of the same issues. Now, Abor finds himself in the portal again, hoping to find the right spot for him this go-round.
9) CB Jayden Bellamy, Syracuse
Jayden Bellamy has spent two seasons at Syracuse, where he's racked up 62 total tackles, six pass defenses, three interceptions, and two touchdowns. The defensive back has proven that he can be a difference maker on defense, but still seeks a larger role. As a result, Bellamy finds himself in the portal, looking for a fresh start elsewhere.
