1) QB Nico Iamaleava, Tennessee
Nico Iamaleava officially entered the transfer portal after NIL contract negotiations with the Tennessee Volunteers went south. In his lone season as the full-time starter with the Vols, the former five-star recruit threw 19 touchdowns and five interceptions. Iamaleava has arguably struggled more than he’s shown flashes, but there’s no doubt that a team will be willing to bank on the prospect that they can unlock his potential in the right situation.

2) WR Micah Hudson, Texas A&M
Micah Hudson entered the transfer portal when it originally opened in December. The former five-star recruit landed at Texas A&M after leaving Texas Tech. However, the wideout quickly realized the grass wasn't greener on the other side, and he now enters the portal again to potentially explore the possibility of rejoining the Red Raiders.
3) WR Johntay Cook II, Washington
Johntay Cook II originally committed to Washington in the transfer portal in late December. After a fallout with his new squad, the former five-star heads back to the transfer portal, where he begins the recruitment process all over again. Furthermore, a recent run-in with the law could hinder his ability to find a landing spot if he can suit up next season. Regardless, he enters the transfer portal hoping to find a new squad.
4) WR Trebor Pena, Syracuse
Trebor Pena enters his name into the transfer portal after a breakout season at Syracuse. The six-foot wideout reeled in 84 receptions for 941 yards and nine touchdowns this past year. Expect plenty of teams to be interested in the versatile receiver.
5) OL Zach Rice, North Carolina
Zach Rice committed to North Carolina as a five-star recruit out of high school. The talented lineman enters the transfer portal after spending time with the Tar Heels. Rice will be at the top of the list for teams looking to bolster their offensive line.
6) RB Branson Robinson, Georgia
Branson Robinson committed to Georgia as a top recruit and No. 2 overall running back prospect out of high school. The shifty rusher has struggled to carve out a role in his two seasons with the Bulldogs. Now, he lands in the transfer portal hoping to find a new home.
7) CB Jon Mitchell, Penn State
Jon Mitchell committed to Penn State as a top recruit out of high school. The cornerback saw limited opportunity to make an impact during his freshman season, which led him to the transfer portal. Mitchell will have plenty of suitors to choose from.
8) LB Crews Law, North Carolina
Crews Law committed to North Carolina after an impressive high school career, where he was named Mr. Tennessee of football. The versatile linebacker was expected to be a big-time defender for the Tar Heels moving forward, but with a new regime in place, Law entered the transfer portal. Expect the six-foot-one defender to be a hot commodity on the open market with four years of eligibility remaining.
9) WR Ny Carr, Miami
Ny Carr is another talented freshman to hit the transfer portal on Wednesday. The wideout committed to Miami as a top-80 recruit, but struggled to find a role in his lone year with the Hurricanes. The Georgia native will be a top receiver in the portal.
