12) CB Jamroc Grimsley, Florida
Jamroc Grimsley initially committed to Alabama out of high school before Nick Saban’s retirement led him to sign with Florida. Since joining the Gators, the corner has slowly come to realize that Gainesville may not be the best fit for him, especially following the head coaching change this offseason. Now, the defender heads to the portal, where he’ll likely have plenty of interest.

1) OL Carius Curne, LSU
Carius Curne becomes not only one of the top available offensive linemen in the transfer portal, but one of the top players on the market after announcing his decision to depart from LSU. The former five-star’s decision comes as a result of the coaching change in Baton Rouge and will now add to the holes head coach Lane Kiffin will be looking to fill. Expect Curne to find a new home quickly.

2) WR Omarion Miller, Colorado
Omarion Miller becomes yet another versatile pass catcher to enter the transfer portal. The wideout proved to be a reliable offensive weapon as a starter in Colorado’s offense this season, which should bode well for him to have a robust market when the portal window officially opens.
3) S Tawfiq Byard, Colorado
Tawfiq Byard joins the wave of outgoing players departing from Colorado. The safety's departure leaves asignificantr hole in the Buffaloes’ secondary. Still, after proving his versatility this past year, the defender opted to leverage his strong season, seeking a fresh start with a contending program.
4) EDGE Tyler Thompson, North Carolina
Tyler Thompson proved to be an impactful pass rusher this past season at North Carolina. The six-foot-four edge rusher finished the year with 26 tackles, eight tackles for loss, seven sacks, and two forced fumbles. Expect Thompson to be a top target in the portal for several teams.
5) QB Colin Hurley, LSU
Colin Hurley initially committed to LSU as a four-star recruit out of high school. The quarterback hoped to compete for the chance to start with the Tigers, but following the coaching change, Hurley has now decided a fresh start could be what’s best for his future.
6) OL Trovon Baugh, South Carolina
Trovon Baugh was one of the lone bright spots on the offensive line for the struggling Gamecocks this past season. The versatile lineman proved to be a difference maker in both pass protection and the rushing attack, and for that, he’ll likely garner plenty of interest in the portal.
7) TE Walker Lyons, USC
Walker Lyons committed to USC as a top recruit out of high school, but since joining the Trojans, he’s yet to carve out a sizable role on offense. The tight end has the size and speed to be an impactful offensive weapon, but being buried in the depth chart of the Big Ten school won’t allow him to showcase that. Now, he enters his name in the transfer portal.
8) CB Bo Mascoe, Rutgers
Bo Mascoe proved to be a reliable defender for Rutgers this past season, putting his name on the map. The corner has good size, great instincts, and the ability to fit in nearly any scheme, making him a prime target for several P4 programs. Expect Mascoe to have a robust market in the portal.
9) DL Devan Thompkins, USC
Devan Thompkins flashed plenty of upside this past season as a rotational piece of the defensive line at USC. The defender put together a career year, totaling 31 tackles, three sacks, two pass defenses, and a forced fumble. Hoping to prove how impactful he can be with a larger role, Thompkins hits the portal.
10) CB Jarvis Lee, USF
Jarvis Lee enters the transfer portal after spending the last season as a starter in USF’s defense. The corner was one of the many reasons the Bulls' secondary was underrated throughout the year. Looking to capitalize on his strong season, the corner hits the portal, hoping to use a change of scenery to put his name on the map.
11) WR Justius Lowe, Oregon
Justius Lowe has spent the last two seasons at Oregon, where he’s struggled to carve out a sizable role. Buried in the Ducks’ loaded depth chart, the pass catcher was forced to come to the harsh reality that if he hopes to prove his ability, he’d be forced to try his hand at a fresh start. Doing exactly that, Lowe enters the portal looking to showcase exactly why he was a highly recruited prospect out of high school.
12) CB Jamroc Grimsley, Florida
Jamroc Grimsley initially committed to Alabama out of high school before Nick Saban’s retirement led him to sign with Florida. Since joining the Gators, the corner has slowly come to realize that Gainesville may not be the best fit for him, especially following the head coaching change this offseason. Now, the defender heads to the portal, where he’ll likely have plenty of interest.
