12) EDGE J'Mond Tapp, Southern Miss

1) QB Deuce Knight, Auburn
Deuce Knight adds his name to the list of former five-star recruits set to enter the transfer portal following the head coaching change at Auburn. Knight served as a backup quarterback for the majority of the season, totaling 25 pass attempts, completing 17 for 259 yards and two touchdowns. In addition, the Mississippi native racked up 178 rushing yards and four touchdowns, proving his versatility as a dual-threat QB in his limited role. Expect Knight to draw plenty of interest on the open market with several contending teams looking to land the former top recruit.

2) EDGE John Henry Daley, Utah
John Henry Daley becomes arguably the best edge rusher on the market after announcing his decision to enter the transfer portal following a career year at Utah, where he totaled 48 tackles, 11.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and a pass defense. The Utah native began his career at BYU and, after three seasons suiting up in his home state, Daley entered the transfer portal following the departure of former head coach Kyle Whittingham.
3) WR Keshaun Singleton, South Florida
Keshaun Singleton has spent the last two seasons at South Florida, where he quickly proved to be a reliable pass catcher in the Bulls' offense. The six-foot-three wideout emerged as the top receiving option this past season, reeling in 50 receptions for 877 yards and eight touchdowns. Following the departure of both the team's head coach and starting quarterback, Singleton joins the wave of outgoing Bulls this offseason.
4) S Aaron Gates, Florida
Aaron Gates enters the transfer portal following three seasons at Florida. In three years, the safety has totaled 35 tackles, three pass defenses, and an interception, with this best year coming in 2024. Hoping a fresh start will allow him to prove how versatile he can be, the six-foot defender enters the transfer portal.
5) RB Evan Pryor, Cincinnati
Evan Pryor began his college career at Ohio State, where he quickly fell victim to the numbers game in the Buckeyes' depth chart. The undersized running back transferred to Cincinnati, hoping a fresh start would allow him to showcase his skillset. Although he saw an increase in usage with the Bearcats, Pryor's 76 carries for 522 yards and three touchdowns failed to live up to his personal goals set for himself. Hoping to use a change of scenery to his benefit, the North Carolina native heads back to the portal.
6) QB JC French IV, Georgia Southern
JC French IV adds his name to the list of available quarterbacks in the transfer portal following three seasons at Georgia Southern. Coming off a career-year tossing for 2,929 yards, 20 touchdowns, and only eight interceptions, the six-foot-one signal caller hits the portal as a redshirt senior looking to use his final year of eligibility to his advantage.
7) EDGE Ryan Henderson, San Diego State
Ryan Henderson announced his intention to enter the transfer portal after three seasons at San Diego State. The pass rusher emerged as a dynamic defender for the Aztecs this season, totaling 22 tackles, seven sacks, and a pass defense. Looking to use his breakout year to land a sizable role on a contending team, Henderson hits the portal.
8) OL Tye Hylton, Florida State
Tye Hylton becomes one of the latest offensive linemen to enter the transfer portal after opting to move on from Florida State after yet another disappointing season for the Seminoles. The versatile offensive lineman will likely immediately draw interest on the open market as teams look to bolster their depth in the trenches ahead of the 2026 season.
9) OL Roq Montgomery, Alabama
Roq Montgomery initially committed to Alabama as a four-star recruit out of high school. The offensive lineman quickly decided that the Crimson Tide may not be the best fit for his development moving forward. As a result, Montgomery joins the abundance of available linemen in the portal.
10) RB Antonio Martin Jr., Kansas State
Antonio Martin Jr. transferred to Kansas State ahead of the 2025 season after a breakout year at SE Louisiana in 2024, where he rushed for 1,228 yards and 11 touchdowns. Hoping to prove his explosiveness with a power four program, the Georgia native landed with the Wildcats but quickly found a diminished role in the team's offense. Now, he lands in the portal seeking another fresh start.
11) QB Miles O'Neill, Texas A&M
Miles O'Neill committed to Texas A&M out of high school as a top recruit, where he spent the last couple of years serving as a backup in the Aggies' offense. The quarterback has the potential to be a starter in the right system, but with Marcel Reed expected to return to College Station for another season, the former top prospect hits the portal.
12) EDGE J'Mond Tapp, Southern Miss
J'Mond Tapp started his college journey at Texas, where he committed to the Longhorns as a top recruit. After quickly finding out that an immediate role with the SEC squad was unlikely, the edge rusher opted to hit the portal landing a role at Southern Miss. After a breakout year posting career-best, including 7.5 sacks, Tapp enters the portal looking for a fresh start.
