Top Transfer Portal Classes: Texas Leads the Pack
12 Jan
Summary
- Transfer portal window open Jan 2-16 with exceptions for CFP teams.
- Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State landed five-star transfers.
- 247Sports and On3 rankings differ due to factoring transfers out.
The college football transfer portal is currently experiencing a high volume of activity as the official window remains open until January 16. Players from College Football Playoff teams have an extended period to enter the portal after their season concludes, and coaching changes also provide transfer exceptions. This increased action is largely due to the elimination of the spring transfer window, making the current period critical for team building.
Several local schools are making significant moves in the transfer market. Notably, Texas, Texas Tech, and Oklahoma State are the only institutions to have successfully recruited a five-star transfer so far. Texas secured wide receiver Cam Coleman from Auburn, Texas Tech landed quarterback Brendan Sorsby from Cincinnati, and Oklahoma State added quarterback Drew Mestemaker from North Texas.
Transfer rankings from services like 247Sports and On3 offer different perspectives. On3's rankings incorporate transfers out of a program, contributing to the divergence in standings. North Texas does not appear on On3's list as they only rank the top 70 classes. This dynamic period continues to reshape college football rosters nationwide.
