Clasificación final del portal de transferencias: Los 100 mejores jugadores del fútbol universitario en movimiento
Ha concluido otra temporada baja récord en transferencias. Más de 3400 jugadores becados por la FBS ingresaron al portal de transferencias de la NCAA esta temporada baja en busca de mejores oportunidades en otros equipos.
Hubo dos periodos de prácticas tras el final de la temporada regular. El primero duró del 9 al 28 de diciembre. El segundo, del 16 al 25 de abril.
¿Qué jugadores fueron los más codiciados en el mercado de fichajes? Aquí está la clasificación final de ESPN de los mejores talentos que se movieron en el portal de transferencias.
Esta clasificación de 100 se basa en la producción, la experiencia, el potencial, la demanda y la retroalimentación de los entrenadores y gerentes generales de todo el deporte.
1. John Mateer , mariscal de campoTransferencia desde: Estado de Washington | Transferencia a: Oklahoma Temporadas restantes: 2
Altura: 6-1 | Peso: 219 | Clase: Estudiante de primer año con camiseta roja
Antecedentes: Después de pasar dos años detrás de Cam Ward , Mateer armó una impresionante temporada de despegue en 2024 que lo ha convertido en uno de los quarterbacks titulares más codiciados del país. Mateer lanzó para 3,139 yardas y 29 touchdowns con un 65% de pases y se ubicó sexto entre los titulares de la FBS con 1,032 yardas terrestres (excluyendo capturas) mientras anotaba 15 touchdowns terrestres. Es explosivo e intrépido cuando está en carrera, forzando 58 tacleadas falladas según ESPN Research (la mayor cantidad entre los quarterbacks de la FBS) con 22 acarreos de 15 o más yardas. El nativo de Little Elm, Texas, tuvo un récord de 8-4 como titular, llevando a los Cougars al puesto número 18 en el ranking de los College Football Playoff, con uno de los cinco mejores puntos agregados esperados (EPA) por retroceso entre los titulares de la FBS. El estado de Washington armó una oferta sólida para traer de regreso a Mateer en 2025, pero eligió seguir adelante a través del portal y tiene la oportunidad de ser el jugador más impactante en este ciclo del portal para 2025. -- Max Olson
Opinión del ojeador: Mateer es un auténtico Air Raid en el juego aéreo. Destaca por su ritmo y sincronización en los pases, y es muy decisivo. Es un jugador muy difícil de presionar porque se le escapa el balón de las manos. Es un corredor sólido que puede salir de apuros y extender las jugadas. Juega con mucha confianza y eleva el juego de quienes lo rodean. -- Tom Luginbill
Lo que aporta a Oklahoma: Una arrogancia muy necesaria. Oklahoma contrató al coordinador ofensivo de Washington State, Ben Arbuckle, el 2 de diciembre, lo que convirtió la transferencia de Mateer a Oklahoma en el secreto peor guardado del reclutamiento. Miami y otros equipos hicieron un gran esfuerzo, pero Mateer no pudo rechazar la oportunidad de unirse a sus entrenadores en Norman y jugar en un gran escenario la próxima temporada. Los Sooners han incorporado mucho talento a través del portal para intentar solucionar el problema, pero Mateer aportará mucha capacidad de creación de juego y confianza a su ofensiva. -- Olson
2. Carson Beck , mariscal de campoTraslado desde: Georgia | Traslado a: Miami Temporadas restantes: 1
Altura: 6-4 | Peso: 220 | Clase: Estudiante de último año de camiseta roja
Antecedentes: Beck fue una sorpresa al entrar al portal, cambiando de rumbo y anotando su nombre tras anunciar el 28 de diciembre que participaría en el draft de la NFL. La lesión de codo que sufrió Beck durante la victoria de Georgia por el campeonato de la SEC sobre Texas, que le puso fin a la temporada, es una de las razones clave por las que intentará jugar una temporada universitaria más para volver a ser seleccionado en la primera ronda. Esta lesión también es la única razón por la que Beck no fue el jugador número uno en nuestro ranking de transferencias. Beck tuvo un rendimiento limitado durante los entrenamientos de primavera, pero la experiencia que aporta como titular durante dos años es difícil de superar. Beck tuvo un récord de 24-3 como titular de Georgia y acumuló 8,157 yardas totales y 63 touchdowns totales durante su tiempo en Athens. Aportará experiencia en partidos importantes (con nueve victorias sobre oponentes del top 25), un gran talento en el brazo y una gran tenacidad a su próximo equipo. -- Olson
Opinión del cazatalentos: Cuando Beck está sano y cuenta con un juego terrestre estable, es uno de los pasadores más puros y precisos del fútbol americano universitario. Es un excepcional manejador del balón, capaz no solo de penetrar en zonas estrechas en posiciones intermedias y profundas, sino también de aplicar capas y cambiar la velocidad del balón. Su toma de decisiones se vio afectada durante su última temporada en Georgia, y se arriesgó demasiado con el balón. -- Luginbill
Lo que aporta a Miami: Cam Ward fue una pieza clave para el programa de Miami durante su única temporada como QB1, convirtiendo a los Hurricanes en un contendiente legítimo para la ACC y los Playoffs de Fútbol Americano Universitario, camino a convertirse en la primera selección general. Beck persigue esos mismos objetivos en 2025, por lo que esta incorporación tiene mucho sentido. Aún no ha tenido la oportunidad de jugar un partido de playoffs, y Miami tampoco. La llegada de Beck significa otro año de expectativas extremadamente altas para el entrenador Mario Cristóbal y su equipo. -- Olson
3. Darian Mensah , mariscal de campoTraslado desde: Tulane | Traslado a: Duke Temporadas restantes: 3
Altura: 1,90 m | Peso: 91 kg | Clase: Estudiante de primer año con camiseta roja
Antecedentes: Mensah era un recluta de dos estrellas completamente desconocido, procedente de San Luis Obispo, California, cuando la Ola Verde lo encontró y le extendió su primera oferta de beca. Fue el mariscal de campo de su equipo de exploración en 2023 y se esperaba que fuera su tercera opción la temporada pasada. Sin embargo, el novato con camiseta roja se ganó la titularidad y demostró ser uno de los mejores mariscales de campo jóvenes del país. Mensah lanzó para 2723 yardas con 23 touchdowns totales y seis intercepciones durante su primera temporada como titular, lo que llevó a Tulane a una temporada de nueve victorias y a un viaje al partido por el título de la American Athletic en la temporada de debut del entrenador Jon Sumrall. Su QBR de 76.5 lo ubicó tercero entre los titulares de G5 y 19.º en la FBS, y lideró a todos los titulares de la AAC en yardas por intento (9.5) y porcentaje de pases completos (66%). Los entrenadores rivales ven un talento de élite en el brazo y un gran potencial. Tulane luchó duro para retener a Mensah, pero tenía varios contendientes del Power 4 luchando por sus servicios. -- Olson
Opinión del cazatalentos: Mensah nos recuerda al expasador de Cincinnati, Desmond Ridder . Mensah es sereno, sereno y extremadamente preciso. Tiene una buena fuerza de brazo (aunque no de élite), y su colocación del balón y su capacidad para cambiar de velocidad para adaptarse al lanzamiento son impresionantes. Además, es un buen corredor. -- Luginbill
Lo que aporta a Duke: Los Blue Devils tuvieron un récord de 9-3 en la temporada de debut del entrenador Manny Díaz con Maalik Murphy , transferido de Texas, como mariscal de campo. Dejar atrás a Murphy y apostar todo por Mensah demuestra claramente las ambiciones de Díaz de competir en la ACC en 2025. Mensah declaró a ESPN que le atrajo el prestigio académico de Duke y las piezas que ya tenía para triunfar a lo grande la próxima temporada. Mensah probablemente podría haber ido a cualquier lado, pero prefirió un reclutamiento rápido y se comprometió en su primera visita. Confía en que Díaz y el coordinador ofensivo Jonathan Brewer puedan llevar su juego al siguiente nivel. -- Olson
4. Fernando Mendoza , mariscal de campoTransferencia desde: Cal | Transferencia a: Indiana Temporadas restantes: 2
Altura: 6-5 | Peso: 225 | Clase: Estudiante de segundo año con camiseta roja
Antecedentes: Mendoza fue un hallazgo increíble para Cal, un jugador de tres estrellas poco conocido proveniente de Miami, que se comprometió con Yale hasta que los Bears le extendieron una oferta tardía. Se convirtió en uno de los mejores quarterbacks jóvenes del país tras asumir la titularidad de Cal en sus últimos ocho partidos en 2023. En su segundo año, fue el tercer mejor pasador de la ACC con 3,004 yardas de pase y elevó su porcentaje de pases completos al 69% (segundo en la ACC), anotando 18 touchdowns totales con solo seis intercepciones en 11 partidos. Lideró a todos los quarterbacks de la FBS con 41 capturas la temporada pasada, pero superó una protección inconsistente para tener un año realmente productivo con sólidas actuaciones contra Miami y Auburn, y una serie ofensiva de 98 yardas que le permitió ganar el partido a su rival Stanford. Mendoza es considerado uno de los quarterbacks más prometedores del país por varios departamentos de personal. -- Olson
Opinión del cazatalentos: Mendoza es uno de los jugadores más infravalorados en su posición en el fútbol americano universitario. Mide 1,96 m, es un gran atleta y es muy duro. Fue capturado muchas veces y se recuperaba constantemente. Mendoza puede lanzar todos los pases y es un atleta escurridizo y astuto. -- Luginbill
Lo que aporta a Indiana: El entrenador de Indiana, Curt Cignetti, prioriza la producción sobre el potencial a la hora de reclutar al portal de transferencias. Con Mendoza como sucesor deKurtis Rourke , está obteniendo mucho de ambos. Mendoza busca llevar su juego a otro nivel en la Big Ten y ayudar a que los Hoosiers vuelvan a ser contendientes en su segundo año con Cignetti. -- Olson
5. Nico Iamaleava , mariscal de campoTransferencia desde: Tennessee | Transferencia a: UCLA Temporadas restantes: 3
Altura: 6-6 | Peso: 220 | Clase: Estudiante de primer año con camiseta roja
Antecedentes: Bueno, esto fue una sorpresa . Si bien hubo rumores de descontento a finales de diciembre, durante la fecha límite del portal de invierno, fue impactante que Iamaleava dejara un equipo de los Playoffs de Fútbol Americano Universitario y buscara en el mercado de jugadores durante la primavera un mejor trato que el que tenía con los Vols. Tennessee invirtió una fortuna en Iamaleava e incluso evitó con éxito un intento de investigación de la NCAA sobre el acuerdo de siete cifras que alcanzó con los Vols como un recluta de cinco estrellas de la escuela secundaria. Tenía muchísimas expectativas que cumplir como titular de primer año con camiseta roja en 2024 y tuvo una temporada sólida, lanzando para 2616 yardas, completando el 64% de sus pases con 22 touchdowns totales y nueve pérdidas de balón, mientras lideraba a los Vols a 10 victorias. Iamaleava cerró la temporada con una mala actuación en el CFP, completando 14 de 31 pases para 104 yardas en una derrota de primera ronda por 42-17 ante el eventual campeón nacional Ohio State. Aún tiene mucho margen de mejora. Sin embargo, es excepcionalmente raro que un quarterback de su calibre esté disponible en primavera. Iamaleava busca seguir progresando y jugar a la altura de su potencial de primera ronda. -- Olson
Opinión del cazatalentos: Es indiscutible que Iamaleava es uno de los mariscales de campo con mayor talento físico del fútbol americano universitario. Fue muy codiciado al salir de la preparatoria debido a su estatura, fuerza de brazo y capacidad atlética. Durante su única temporada como titular, mostró destellos de brillantez, pero también de mediocridad. Lanzó 19 touchdowns, pero cuatro de los nueve touchdowns en la SEC fueron contra Vanderbilt y siete contra Chattanooga y UTEP. La consistencia es donde debe mejorar. Tiene la fuerza de brazo y el talento general para ser un excelente pasador vertical profundo, pero ha sido muy inconsistente en cuanto a precisión. Aún tiene herramientas, pero probablemente jugará en un equipo con menos talento que el que acaba de dejar. Es decir: Tendrá que ser mejor que nunca. -- Luginbill
Lo que aporta a UCLA: Esta dura experiencia podría haber sido perfecta para los Bruins. Conseguirán un mariscal de campo con potencial para estar entre los 10 mejores con un contrato reducido que generará mucha atención para este programa al comenzar el segundo año del entrenador DeShaun Foster. La llegada de Iamaleava les costará la transferencia del mariscal de campo Joey Aguilar , transferido de App State, quien regresó al portal tras pasar por los entrenamientos de primavera con los Bruins y aterrizó en Tennessee. El reto de Iamaleava de cara al futuro es aprender el sistema del coordinador ofensivo Tino Sunseri y ganarse el apoyo de sus nuevos compañeros este verano, pero sin duda estará motivado tras su separación de los Vols. -- Olson

Transferencia desde: Georgia Tech | Transferencia a: Auburn Temporadas restantes: 2
Altura: 5-11 | Peso: 190 | Clase: Segundo año
Antecedentes: Singleton marcó la diferencia en la ofensiva de Georgia Tech desde su llegada, obteniendo el premio All-America de primer año en 2023 y quedando segundo en la lista de Novato Ofensivo del Año de la ACC. El jugador estrella, procedente de Douglasville, Georgia, atrapó 104 pases para 1,468 yardas y anotó 10 touchdowns ofensivos en las últimas dos temporadas. Singleton también corrió atletismo para los Yellow Jackets, con un récord personal de 10.32 en los 100 metros planos esta primavera. Tiene el talento para ser seleccionado en las primeras rondas del draft y fue uno de los jugadores más codiciados del portal. -- Olson
Opinión del cazatalentos: Singleton podría ser uno de los mejores corredores de rutas y uno de los jugadores más rápidos en llegar al mercado de transferencias. Es muy bueno en el juego de pases cortos, donde puede convertir pantallas y recepciones de 5 yardas en grandes ganancias. También posee una velocidad de élite en línea recta para superar a la defensa y atrapar la mayoría de los balones lanzados cerca. Lo que lo convirtió en un jugador tan valioso en el mercado de transferencias son sus intangibles. Es un gran bloqueador y un jugador duro. -- Billy Tucker
Lo que aporta a Auburn: Después de la cuarta temporada perdedora consecutiva del programa, el entrenador Hugh Freeze y los Tigers reunieron una impresionante clase de reclutamiento de transferencias que esperan que cambie su suerte en 2025. Esta es una victoria significativa sobre Texas, Ole Miss y varios otros enemigos de la SEC; Singleton debería desempeñar un papel de alto objetivo para los Tigers mientras reemplazan a los talentosos receptores de pases KeAndre Lambert-Smith y Rivaldo Fairweather . - Olson
7. Isaías Mundo , ATTransferencia desde: Nevada | Transferencia a: Oregón Temporadas restantes: 1
Altura: 6-8 | Peso: 309 | Categoría: Junior de camiseta roja
Antecedentes: El imponente protector de pases fue titular durante tres años para los Wolf Pack, principalmente como tackle izquierdo, y aporta una experiencia invaluable con más de 2300 jugadas en su carrera. No permitió ninguna captura durante su temporada junior y recibió una mención honorífica All-Mountain West. Los cazatalentos de la NFL consideran a World como una posible selección de primera ronda del draft, ya que entra en su última temporada de elegibilidad y está ascendiendo al Power 4 para demostrar que merece ese reconocimiento. -- Olson
Opinión del cazatalentos: World tiene una gran presencia con muy buenas habilidades de pase como tackle izquierdo. Ha ganado 18 kilos desde la preparatoria y ha conservado su rapidez y flexibilidad iniciales. World hace un trabajo excelente superando a los defensores en la bolsa de protección con su longitud y movilidad. Juega equilibrado con buenos pies y demuestra su experiencia en baloncesto imitando a los defensores en su formación. No es tan efectivo contra la carrera. El nivel de protección de World puede ser alto, pero sigue siendo muy productivo al arrastrar a los defensores hacia las líneas de carrera abiertas. -- Tucker
Lo que aporta a Oregon: Un tackle ofensivo era una de las necesidades clave de los Ducks. La graduación de Ajani Cornelius y la posibilidad de que Josh Conerly Jr. se convirtiera en profesional hicieron que la incorporación de tackles de calibre titular fuera una prioridad para Oregon, y logró contener a Texas A&M y Nebraska en esta batalla. Una incorporación de un año tiene sentido para dar a los jóvenes pívots de los Ducks más tiempo para desarrollarse. -- Olson
8. Zachariah Branch , WRTransferencia desde: USC | Transferencia a: Georgia Temporadas restantes: 2
Altura: 5-10 | Peso: 175 | Clase: Segundo año
Antecedentes: Branch cumplió con creces con las expectativas de cinco estrellas con los Trojans y fue uno de los jugadores polivalentes más peligrosos del país en 2023. El recluta número 7 se convirtió en el primer jugador de primer año de la USC en ser nombrado All-America del primer equipo en la historia del programa. Dominó en los retornos (774 yardas, dos touchdowns) durante su temporada de debut y convirtió 89 toques ofensivos en 910 yardas y cuatro touchdowns durante sus dos años en la USC. Ingresó al portal junto con su hermano mayor, el safety de la USC Zion Branch . -- Olson
Opinión del cazatalentos: Uno de los jugadores más rápidos de la generación de 2023, Branch se convirtió rápidamente en uno de los jugadores más electrizantes del fútbol americano universitario como estudiante de primer año en la USC. Corrió las 40 yardas en 4.41 segundos y tuvo tiempos en los 100 metros en pista en el rango de 10.3 segundos tras su salida de Bishop Gorman, la potencia nacional, en Las Vegas. Esa velocidad se trasladó al campo de inmediato como regresador en 2023. Su rendimiento en equipos especiales disminuyó en su segundo año, pero esto podría estar más relacionado con el esquema del rival que con una disminución de sus habilidades. En el juego aéreo, es lo que se espera: un arma de jugadas grandes en el juego de pantalla, jet sweeps y en pases cortos y centros rápidos que le permiten tener el balón en espacios abiertos. Es un desajuste por debajo y un gran objetivo para el YAC. -- Tucker
Lo que aporta a Georgia: Branch es una mejora importante para la ofensiva de Georgia, que debe reemplazar a los receptores líderes Arian Smith y Dominic Lovett . Los Bulldogs lideraron a todos los equipos de la FBS con 36 pases dejados caer la temporada pasada, según ESPN Research, y necesitarán que Branch sea un jugador clave para el nuevo mariscal de campo titular Gunner Stockton . -- Olson
9. David Bailey , OLBTransferencia desde: Stanford | Transferencia a: Texas Tech Temporadas restantes: 1
Altura: 1,80 m | Peso: 113 kg | Categoría: Junior
Antecedentes: Bailey ingresó al programa poco después de que Stanford despidiera al entrenador Troy Taylor a finales de marzo y se convirtió instantáneamente en uno de los mejores jugadores disponibles antes del inicio de la ventana de primavera. El ex recluta del número 122 tuvo una temporada de debut destacada en 2022, ganando el reconocimiento de Freshman All-America y lideró a los Cardinal en tacleadas para pérdida de yardas en cada una de sus tres temporadas con el programa. Bailey ha logrado 111 tacleadas, 81 presiones, 22.5 TFL y 14.5 capturas de mariscal, y tiene la oportunidad de ser seleccionado en las primeras rondas del draft de la NFL si logra tener una sólida temporada senior. -- Olson
Opinión del cazatalentos: Bailey es una presencia disruptiva como defensor de borde y uno de los apoyadores externos más explosivos del fútbol americano universitario. No es el más grande ni el más largo, pero es súper fuerte, compacto y juega con excelente apalancamiento. Bailey usa una gran combinación de velocidad y potencia, lo que le permite sorprender y esquivar tackles más fuertes en su persecución hacia el quarterback. También puede doblar y destrozar la esquina con movimientos limpios y fluidos. Bailey exhibe una excelente velocidad de cierre para perseguir carreras perimetrales y tiene una rápida penetración en el campo para interrumpir las jugadas antes de que se desarrollen. Bailey puede resistir en cobertura, pero no es su punto fuerte. Su mayor virtud podría ser su motor intenso: Bailey juega con mucha intensidad. -- Tucker
Lo que aporta a Texas Tech: Los Red Raiders estuvieron entre los que más gastaron durante el periodo de portales de diciembre y no han escatimado en gastos para mejorar la posición de defensa con Bailey y Romello Height, transferido de Georgia Tech. Consideraron a Bailey como uno de los mejores jugadores defensivos que regresan en el país, vencieron a Texas y UCLA por su promesa y lo incorporaron de inmediato para los entrenamientos de primavera. Texas Tech ha reunido una de las líneas defensivas más talentosas del país, con talento de la NFL y una sólida profundidad. Todos estos movimientos han convertido a los Red Raiders en los claros favoritos de la Big 12 para 2025. -- Olson
10. Nic Anderson , WRTransferencia desde: Oklahoma | Transferencia a: LSU Temporadas restantes: 3
Altura: 6-4 | Peso: 216 | Clase: Estudiante de segundo año con camiseta roja
Antecedentes: Anderson estableció el récord de touchdowns recibidos para un jugador de primer año de los Sooners en 2023 y se esperaba que fuera uno de los principales receptores de Oklahoma en 2024. Sin embargo, pasó casi toda su tercera temporada universitaria fuera de juego por lesión, apareciendo en solo un partido con un total de cinco jugadas en la derrota de septiembre contra Tennessee. Tras aparecer en solo tres partidos en 2022, Anderson fue la estrella revelación de la campaña 2023 de los Sooners al atrapar 38 pases para 798 yardas y 10 touchdowns en 13 partidos en su primera temporada completa de fútbol americano universitario. Sin embargo, afectado por una lesión en el campamento de entrenamiento de otoño, la temporada 2024 de Anderson no despegó, uniéndose a la larga lista de talentosos receptores abiertos de Oklahoma que se perdieron un tiempo significativo en el final de 6-7 del programa la temporada pasada. -- Eli Lederman
Opinión del cazatalentos: Las lesiones arruinaron su segunda temporada, pero cuando está sano, Anderson posee excelentes habilidades físicas, incluyendo una combinación de élite de tamaño (1,93 m, 98 kg) y velocidad (10,64 m en las 40 yardas). Si bien es grande y explosivo, Anderson aún es fluido, con buen control corporal y ajuste para realizar atrapadas difíciles. Es un objetivo vertical grande que, engañosamente, escala posiciones y se coloca detrás de la cobertura. Después de la recepción, combina fuerza con la elusividad justa para romper placajes. -- Tucker
Lo que aporta a LSU: La dupla de los Tigers, Anderson y Barion Brown , dos de los mejores del portal, para 2025 será sumamente emocionante. El mariscal de campo de LSU, Garrett Nussmeier, debe estar entusiasmado con la inversión que el entrenador Brian Kelly y su equipo están haciendo en la posición de receptor con esa dupla, además de Destyn Hill , transferido de Florida State y ex recluta del top 100 que regresa a casa. -- Olson
11. Makhi Hughes , RBTraslado desde: Tulane | Traslado a: Oregón Temporadas restantes: 2
Altura: 5-11 | Peso: 210 | Clase: Estudiante de segundo año con camiseta roja
Antecedentes: Hughes ha sido nombrado miembro del primer equipo All-AAC en temporadas consecutivas y fue el Novato del Año de la conferencia en 2023. Acumuló 2779 yardas terrestres (quinto en la FBS) y anotó 24 touchdowns totales desde su debut. Hughes ha sido un corredor dinámico y confiable para los Green Wave, con más de 100 yardas desde la línea de golpeo en 14 partidos y la tercera mayor cantidad de yardas terrestres después del contacto (1880) en la FBS en las últimas dos temporadas. Acumuló una temporada de 1400 yardas para los Green Wave en 2024 y colaboró con Mensah para ayudar al programa a alcanzar el título de la AAC. Hughes será uno de los mejores corredores que regresan al país en 2025 y una incorporación de gran impacto para los Ducks. -- Olson
Opinión del ojeador: Hughes es un corredor fuerte y decidido que puede llevar la carga. Rinde mejor en esquemas de carrera por huecos, donde se cuadra y baja rápidamente. Hughes genera potencia explosiva en pocos pasos y siempre corre con fuerza al primer contacto. Tiene un equilibrio de contacto excelente y le gusta bajar las protecciones y conectar con fuerza. Es ágil y rápido para eludir en el hueco, pero no es demasiado escurridizo en espacios abiertos. Hughes tiene la velocidad suficiente para realizar grandes carreras, pero no es un jugador decisivo y no bajó de 11.0 en los 100 metros al salir de la preparatoria como velocista de pista. Aun así, es un corredor que juega en todas las oportunidades y se fortalece con el avance del partido. Con buenas habilidades de bloqueo y recepción, es el paquete completo. -- Tucker
Lo que aporta a Oregon: Los Ducks necesitaban un sucesor para Jordan James, corredor que se presentará al draft de la NFL, y no pudieron haber encontrado uno mejor. Este debería ser un rol de alto volumen para Hughes, considerando que James ocupó el quinto lugar en la Big Ten en acarreos por partido (16.6) y que los Ducks están apostando fuerte por un nuevo quarterback titular para 2025. También jugará con su hermano, el esquinero de primer año y cinco estrellas Na'eem Offord , en Eugene. -- Olson
12. Dane Key , WRTransferencia desde: Kentucky | Transferencia a: Nebraska Temporadas restantes: 1
Altura: 1,80 m | Peso: 95 kg | Categoría: Junior
Antecedentes: Key es uno de los receptores abiertos más destacados del portal, titular durante tres años y con 126 recepciones para 1,870 yardas y 14 touchdowns a lo largo de su carrera. El exrecluta de ESPN 300 y originario de Lexington, Kentucky, se convirtió en un jugador clave desde su primer año en la SEC y se marcha como el quinto mejor receptor en la historia de la universidad. Key registró un récord personal de 715 yardas recibidas en 2024 a pesar de su irregularidad como mariscal de campo, incluyendo una actuación de 105 yardas en la sorpresiva victoria de Kentucky sobre Ole Miss. Tendrá la oportunidad de aumentar sus posibilidades de ser seleccionado para el draft en Nebraska. -- Olson
Opinión del cazatalentos: Key tiene una complexión robusta y manos excelentes. Es un corredor de rutas refinado que entiende la cobertura y cómo crear separación, a pesar de no ser el jugador más rápido del campo. Su mayor virtud es su habilidad para atrapar el balón en el tráfico y bajarlo con el balón disputado lejos de su cuerpo. Gana con control corporal y sentido de la posición más que con velocidad explosiva. Key es un buen receptor número 1 o 2 listo para usar desde el primer día. -- Tucker
Lo que aporta a Nebraska: Key es el receptor abierto número uno que Nebraska ha estado buscando. El entrenador Matt Rhule y su cuerpo técnico necesitaban reemplazar a dos titulares senior salientes y lograron un gran éxito de reclutamiento al traer a Key a Lincoln para reunirse con el entrenador de receptores abiertos Daikiel Shorts, a quien los Huskers contrataron de Kentucky. Key será un objetivo prioritario para Dylan Raiola en 2025. -- Olson
13. Barion Brown , WRTransferencia desde: Kentucky | Transferencia a: LSU Temporadas restantes: 1
Altura: 6-1 | Peso: 182 | Categoría: Junior
Antecedentes: Brown se labró una reputación como uno de los jugadores más electrizantes de la SEC durante sus tres temporadas en Kentucky. El ex recluta de ESPN 300, procedente de Nashville, atrapó 122 pases para 1,528 yardas y 13 touchdowns totales, y es un jugador con calibre All-America en el juego de retornos. Brown acumula 1,550 yardas de retorno durante su carrera y lidera a todos los jugadores activos de la FBS con cinco retornos de patada inicial para touchdown. Su demostrada capacidad para todo uso lo convertirá en un jugador clave para un contendiente la próxima temporada. -- Olson
Opinión del cazatalentos: Brown lo tiene todo: tamaño, velocidad y habilidad con el balón. Corredor de 10.49 segundos en los 100 metros al salir de la preparatoria, utilizó esa velocidad de forma polivalente durante su carrera en Kentucky. Tiene una gran aceleración para superar a la defensa o hacer jugadas importantes desde la línea de golpeo o como regresador. Brown se movía mucho para crear desajustes y sobresalía en el uno contra uno, ganando constantemente los duelos entre dos. -- Tucker
Lo que aporta a LSU: Velocidad, velocidad y más velocidad. Nussmeier perdió a tres de sus mejores receptores de la temporada pasada: Kyren Lacy , Mason Taylor y CJ Daniels . Brown debería recibir muchos pases de los Tigers la próxima temporada y seguirá siendo un jugador clave en el regreso de pases. -- Olson
14. Damon Wilson II , OLBTransferencia desde: Georgia | Transferencia a: Missouri Temporadas restantes: 2
Altura: 6-4 | Peso: 250 | Clase: Segundo año
Antecedentes: Wilson fue uno de los mejores cazamariscales y el recluta número 35 del ESPN 300 de 2023. Fue una victoria clave para los Bulldogs en el día de fichajes contra Ohio State y Alabama, y dio un paso al frente en su segundo año, participando en 390 jugadas y dos como titular. Wilson mostró un gran potencial al acumular 22 tacleadas, 17 presiones, 5.5 TFL, 3 capturas y 2 balones sueltos forzados. -- Olson
Opinión del cazatalentos: Wilson es alto, largo y espigado, con una explosión y un despegue explosivos, y características típicas en la banda. Es un jugador clave por la banda y una presencia disruptiva en la línea de golpeo gracias a su combinación de tamaño y velocidad y su gran capacidad de persecución. Utiliza su envergadura de casi 203 cm para desmarcar a los bloqueadores en su camino hacia el portero y muestra una buena habilidad para redirigir el balón cuando tiene espacio. Como cazamariscales, Wilson destaca por su rapidez y fluidez en la curva para superar a los tackles ofensivos en la esquina o en el movimiento interior. Aunque jugó más como jugador de rol en Atenas el año pasado, estaba listo para una temporada de despegue. -- Tucker
Lo que aporta a Missouri: Esta es una incorporación emocionante para la defensa de los Tigers, un joven jugador emergente que les ayudará a reemplazar al titular saliente Johnny Walker Jr. y a compensar a quienes perdieron. Tras promediar 30 jugadas por partido en la SEC la temporada pasada, Wilson debería estar listo para un papel importante en 2025. -- Olson
15. Dillon Thieneman , S.Transferencia desde: Purdue | Transferencia a: Oregón Temporadas restantes: 2
Altura: 6-0 | Peso: 207 | Clase: Segundo año
Antecedentes: Uno de los mejores safeties jóvenes del fútbol americano universitario llegó al mercado tras el cambio de entrenador de Purdue. Thieneman, un recluta de tres estrellas de Westfield, Indiana, se convirtió en titular desde el primer día de los Boilermakers en 2023 y tuvo una temporada de debut fenomenal, ganando el premio al Novato del Año de la Big Ten y la FWAA tras registrar 106 tackles y seis intercepciones. Volvió a ser el mejor tackleador de Purdue la temporada pasada con 104 paradas y siete pases desviados, además de encargarse de las devoluciones de despeje. -- Olson
Opinión del cazatalentos: Ves la pelota, la golpeas; es difícil no admirar el estilo de juego clásico de Thieneman. Un excelente tackleador, está constantemente cerca del balón, creando jugadas contra la carrera, el pase y en equipos especiales. Su tamaño y velocidad no impresionarán en teoría, pero juega con mayor corpulencia y tiene una excelente velocidad de persecución con ángulos cerrados y poco desperdicio de movimiento. Destaca en la cobertura zonal, comprende los conceptos y tiene un gran timing en sus contraataques. -- Tucker
Lo que aporta a Oregon: Los Ducks tenían una necesidad imperiosa de safety al entrar en esta ventana de lanzamiento, con la marcha de los titulares senior Tysheem Johnson y Kobe Savage al final de la temporada. Ambos llegaron al programa como transferencias y demostraron que pueden jugar a un alto nivel para los Ducks. Thieneman no debería tener problemas para adaptarse gracias a su experiencia en la Big Ten y su naturaleza contundente. Está listo para jugar con un equipo ganador y debería seguir haciendo jugadas impactantes para la secundaria de los Ducks. -- Olson
16. Max Klare , TETransferencia desde: Purdue | Transferencia a: Ohio State Temporadas restantes: 2
Altura: 1,93 m | Peso: 119 kg | Clase: Estudiante de segundo año con camiseta roja
Antecedentes: Klare se encuentra entre los alas cerradas de portal más productivos del mercado. Tras participar en seis partidos durante sus dos primeras temporadas universitarias, Klare despegó en 2024, liderando a los Boilermakers en recepciones (51), yardas recibidas (685) y anotaciones recibidas (4). Solo siete alas cerradas a nivel nacional acumularon más yardas recibidas que Klare, y mantuvo a la defensiva de Purdue en movimiento con 33 primeros downs, ocupando el noveno lugar entre los jugadores de su posición. Un hábil receptor de pases profundos y bloqueador físico, Klare debería integrarse a la perfección en la ofensiva de los Buckeyes. -- Lederman
Opinión del ojeador: Klare es un receptor potente con buen manejo del balón y un buen radio de recepción. Además, tiene buena velocidad y puede desafiar a las defensas verticalmente. Su mayor atractivo reside en su capacidad de recepción, pero también es un bloqueador eficaz y ofrece una gran capacidad de conectar y jugar gracias a sus habilidades físicas y su probada producción. Su producción podría incluso aumentar con los Buckeyes, con una mayor variedad de receptores que lo complementen. -- Tucker
Lo que aporta a Ohio State: Hubo mucha competencia y se hicieron buenas ofertas por Klare, pero los Buckeyes finalmente se impusieron y contrataron al ala cerrada número 1 del portal como una mejora significativa en la posición. Gee Scott Jr. está a punto de graduarse y Will Kacmarek puede regresar por una temporada más, pero Klare puede marcar la diferencia en el juego aéreo y debería desempeñar un papel importante en la ofensiva de Ohio State de cara al futuro. -- Olson
17. Jaydn Ott , corredorTransferencia desde: Cal | Transferencia a: Oklahoma Temporadas restantes: 1
Altura: 6-0 | Peso: 205 | Categoría: Junior

Fue aún mejor en su segundo año, liderando la Pac-12 con 1315 yardas terrestres y 12 touchdowns, camino a ser nombrado miembro del primer equipo de la conferencia. El año pasado, sin embargo, una lesión de tobillo sufrida en el primer partido de la temporada dificultó que Ott alcanzara su máximo potencial. Aun así, logró jugar en 10 partidos, pero terminó el año con 385 yardas terrestres, 3.3 yardas por acarreo y cinco anotaciones totales. -- Olson
La toma de Scout: Ott podría estar en la cima de las tablas de draft de la NFL si no hubo una caída en la producción la temporada pasada. Elige y sean la brecha para la agilidad y la elusividad .
Lo que trae a Oklahoma: los Sooners obtuvieron una sólida producción de Jovantae Barnes y un juego alentador de Xavier Robinson la temporada pasada, pero no pudieron dejar pasar la oportunidad de agregar un verdadero número 1 de regreso.
18. Howard Sampson , OTTransferencia de : Carolina del Norte | Temporadas restantes: 2
HT: 6-8 |
Antecedentes: El nuevo entrenador Bill Belichick logró que varios titulares de la UNC se retiren del portal y se queden con el programa, pero el nuevo régimen no pudo aferrarse a Sampson en masivo que se realizó 12 juegos en el tackle izquierdo en su primera temporada con el Tar Heels, solo un año de reconozca .
Scout's Take: Sampson es una montaña en la esquina con un enorme marco y una curva más que adecuada . Refinamiento pero tiene un tamaño de primera ronda y pies para desarrollar.
Lo que trae a Texas Tech: The Humble, Texas, nativo, regresará a casa para unirse a un escuadrón de tecnología de Texas que se está cargando absolutamente para perseguir un campeonato Big 12 en 2025.

HT: 6-4 |
Antecedentes: El liniero defensivo masivo fue el jugador No. 60 en el 2021 ESPN 300 y la camiseta roja durante su sola temporada en Auburn antes de transferirse a Reunitar con Gus Malzahn en Orlando se convirtió en una fuerza en el medio de los Caballeros durante sus tres años en el programa y ha terminado las 12.5 tacleadas de 20.5 tacleadas.

20. Jehiem Oatis , DTTransferencia de: Alabama | Temporadas restantes: 2
HT: 6-5 |
Antecedentes: Oatis fue el recluta No. 38 en el 2022 ESPN 300 y comenzó 13 juegos en sus primeras dos temporadas con la marea carmesí. Siéntate el resto de la temporada para ingresar al portal .
La toma de Scout: Oatis luchó contra las lesiones durante su tiempo en Alabama, pero demostró que podría ser una fuerza dominante en el interior.
Lo que trae a Colorado: Oatis fue una victoria masiva para la era de Deion Sanders en Colorado y otra declaración de que los Buffs no buscan dar un paso en 2025. Los Buffaloes necesitaban recargar en defensa y reemplazar a nueve titulares senior, pero hicieron avances impresionantes en la primera temporada de Robert Living como DC como DC .
21. Tacario Davis , CBTransferencia de: Arizona | Temporadas restantes: 1
HT: 6-4 |
Antecedentes: Davis probó el portal de transferencia hace un año durante el cambio de entrenamiento de Arizona después de una fuerte temporada de segundo año en la que rompió 15 pases, el segundo más en el Pac - 12. Stock de draft con una temporada universitaria más.
Scout's Take: Davis tiene la combinación de tamaño y velocidad para declarar para el draft, lo que le da una idea de su valor en el portal. corre .
What he brings to Washington: A reunion with former Arizona coach Jedd Fisch and his staff in Seattle is a win-win for both sides. Davis could have gone pro or picked any number of contenders but chose to go with the coaches he trusts to bring out his best over his final college season. He'll also reunite with former Wildcats teammate Ephesians Prysock in the Huskies' secondary to form one of the Big Ten's best corner duos. -- Olson
22. Mansoor Delane , CBTransferencia de: Virginia Tech | Temporadas restantes: 1
HT : 6-1 |
Antecedentes: Delane comenzó 29 juegos durante sus tres años con los Hokies y obtuvo los honores del tercer equipo en todas las conferencias como junior después de registrar 54 tacleadas, 7 rupturas de pase, 2 balones sueltos y unas intercepciones de su carrera.
La toma de Scout: Delane habría sido una elección de la NFL temprana si hubiera decidido declarar, pero apuntará a mejorar su stock de draft. Juega más rápido que sus 40 indicarían y tiene las habilidades de apoyo para proporcionar un valor versátil en el esquema en la seguridad, la esquina o el níquel .
Lo que trae a LSU: " DBU " es agregar una de las mejores esquinas disponibles.
23. Patrick Payton , DETransferencia de: Florida State | Temporadas restantes: 1
HT: 6-5 |
Antecedentes: Payton se convirtió rápidamente en un corredor de pases productivo para los Seminoles, ganando los honores de Novato del Año de ACC en 2022 con cinco capturas como un estudiante de primer año de camiseta roja. La horrible temporada de 2-10 de Innoles .
La toma de Scout: Payton no produjo en 2024 como se esperaba cuando el centro de atención estaba en él. El bolsillo .
Lo que trae a LSU: los Tigres se han cargado con el talento del portal premium en este ciclo .
24. Williams Nwaneri , DETransferencia de: Missouri | Temporadas restantes: 4
HT: 6-7 |
Antecedentes: Missouri derrotó a Oklahoma en una batalla muy disputada por el recluta de cinco estrellas y el jugador número 21 en el ESPN 300 de 2024. Nwaneri fue una victoria de reclutamiento masiva para Eli Drinkwitz y los Tigres como jugador con una recogida de primera ronda seria, pero no vio mucho el campo por su año, jugó un total de su año. para ingresar al portal.
Scout's Take: Nwaneri tiene un montón de alza y talento con cuatro años para desarrollarlo. Ender, particularmente si se mueve dentro, pero tiene fuertes medibles y habilidades de movimiento .
What he brings to Nebraska: The Huskers were a big spender in the portal market as they worked to surround quarterback Dylan Raiola with more blue-chip talent and improve on a 7-6 season. Nwaneri's relationship with Nebraska senior analyst Jamar Mozee, his former high school coach, was a key factor here. The Huskers have a lot to replace along their senior-led defense and could count on Nwaneri to play a significant role in 2025. -- Olson
25. Kevin Concepcion , WRTransferencia de : NC State | Temporadas restantes: 2
HT: 5-11 |
Antecedentes: Concepcion ganó los honores de ACC del año y los honores de primer año de la América en 2023 después de atrapar 71 pases, la mayor cantidad de un estudiante de primer año en la historia de la escuela, y colocando 839 yardas y 320 yardas de apresuración con 10 touchdowns .
La toma de Scout: la producción de Concepcion se sumergió como un estudiante de segundo año con objetivos y un juego de QB inconsistente. jerga
Lo que trae a Texas A&M: los Aggies recogieron dos de los mejores jóvenes en el portal en este ciclo, lo que debería aumentar seriamente las expectativas de su ataque aéreo de Marcel Reed , según ESPN, y debería ser un objetivo de fideicomiso en ese puesto .
26. Duce Robinson , WRTransferencia de: USC | Temporadas restantes: 2
HT: 6-6 |
Antecedentes: Robinson fue una de las perspectivas más dotadas en la clase de 2023, un destacado de dos deportes como ala cerrada/receptor y jardinero que ocupó el puesto 40 en el ESPN 300. Él firmó con los troyanos de practicar dos deportes y ha tenido dos temporadas productivas en el campo de fútbol con un campo combinado de 39 recepciones para 747 años y siete touchdowns . un papel más importante en el futuro.
Scout's Take: Robinson es un objetivo gigantesco de ancho con 6 pies y 6 pies y 6 pulgadas, una envergadura de 82 pulgadas y manos de 10 pulgadas . EST Future podría haber estado en el ala cerrada saliendo de la escuela secundaria.
Lo que trae a Florida State: Dominic Robinson jugó receptor para Florida State desde 2001-04, y ahorasu hijo está siguiendo sus pasos para terminar su carrera universitaria.
27. Emmanuel Pregnon , OGTransferencia de: USC | Temporadas restantes: 1
HT: 6-5 |
Antecedentes: la decisión de embarazo de volver a ingresar al portal después de dos temporadas en la USC fue sorprendente . Sea uno de los linieros mejor pagados en este ciclo.
Scout's Take: el embarazo es un liniero ofensivo físicamente impresionante que combina gran fuerza, poder y apalancamiento como bloqueador de carrera. de guardia .
Lo que trae a Oregon: los Ducks estaban buscando ayuda de la línea ofensiva interior y ganaron una gran batalla por el guardia número 1 en el portal .
28. Will Heldt , deTransferencia de: Purdue | Temporadas restantes: 2
HT: 6-6 |
Antecedentes: Purdue produjo uno de los mejores corredores de borde en el portal la última temporada en Nic Scourton , y ahora Heldt parece que está a continuación.
Scout's Take: Heldt es una entrada intrigante del portal con su capacidad para presionar al mariscal de campo.
Lo que trae a Clemson: el entrenador Dabo Swinney realizó el primer jugador defensivo que firmó fuera del portal porque tenía una necesidad inevitable en el extremo defensivo opuesto a todo el ACC TJ Parker .
29. Xavier Chaplin , OTTransferencia de: Virginia Tech | Temporadas restantes: 2
HT: 6-7 |
Antecedentes: Chaplin se mudó a la alineación inicial como estudiante de primer año de la camiseta roja de los Hokies y se ha convertido en un titular de dos años en el tackle izquierdo y uno de los linieros más codiciados de este ciclo de portal .
Scout's take: Chaplin possesses a great combination of size and athleticism for a Power 4 offensive tackle. He has been a very consistent pass protector over the past two seasons utilizing his length and good feet. In the run game, Chaplin gets off the ball quickly and is capable of climbing to the second level. He also flashes the ability to pull and get out in space in the screen game. This is a quality P4 starting tackle who also may have some developmental upside left in the tank. -- Tucker
Lo que trae a Auburn: los Tigres lograron actualizar la competencia en sus lugares de aparejo con Chaplin y la transferencia de USC Mason Murphy , lo que debería darle a su sala de QB reconstruida mucha confianza sobre la protección que recibirán esta temporada.
30. Miller Moss , QBTransferencia de: USC | Temporadas restantes: 1
HT: 6-2 |
Antecedentes: Moss pagó sus cuotas durante sus primeros tres años con los troyanos, incluidas dos temporadas detrás de la selección de draft No. 1 de 2024, Caleb Williams , antes de obtener la oportunidad de comenzar en 2024. Moss lideró a los Diez Grandes en yardas por juego mientras lanzaba 2,555 yardas en el 64% de los Cinco Touchdowns Total Total Touchdowns, Nine Interceptions y A Qbr de 73.4 que clasificó 28th en el 64% de los Touchdowns. Veniendo con los márgenes de una puntuación, lo que lleva al entrenador Lincoln Riley a banca a Moss y vea lo que tenía en la transferencia de UNLV Jayden Maiava sobre los últimos tres juegos del equipo, Moss necesitaba encontrar un lugar donde pudiera obtener 12 aperturas más en su cinturón y demostrar que es un pasador de calibre de la NFL.
Scout's Take: Moss es maduro, experimentado, ha jugado un buen fútbol y ha mostrado destellos de ser extremadamente productivos .
Lo que trae a Louisville: Moss ha identificado una oportunidad ideal en Louisville. Receptor probado en Chris Bell y un personal que agregó mucho más a su alrededor a través del portal .
31. Jackson Arnold , QBTransferencia de: Oklahoma | Temporadas restantes: 2
HT: 6-1 |
Antecedentes: después de respaldar a Dillon Gabriel como estudiante de primer año, se esperaba que el ex recluta de cinco estrellas tuviera un año de ruptura en 2024. Arnold soportó una temporada frustrante como el Sooners 'Sounders' fue bancado durante su debut en la SEC contra Tennessee y se sentó dos 44 44 años y se apresuró a recuperar el trabajo de los 144 43 años . Un QBR de 47.8 en una ofensiva de Oklahoma que luchó a lo largo de la línea ofensiva (46 capturas permitidas), perdió sus cinco receptores principales por lesiones y disparó su OC a mitad de temporada.
Scout's Take: Arnold necesita un nuevo comienzo .
Lo que trae a Auburn: Auburn finalmente recogió un QB superior del portal .
32. Altura de Romello , OLBTransferencia de : Georgia Tech | Temporadas restantes: 1
HT: 6-3 |
Background: Height has made stops at Auburn, USC and Georgia Tech and entered the portal one more time this offseason. The fifth-year senior has one extra year of eligibility due to season-ending shoulder injury at USC in 2022. Since coming back from that setback, Height has been a productive edge rusher with four sacks for the Trojans in 2023 and a career-high 30 pressures for Georgia Tech in 2024, according to ESPN Research. -- Olson
Scout's Take: la altura es sin duda un oficial que podría agregar valor como un tercer borde, pero no vemos el impacto, cada producción defensiva en esta etapa.
Lo que trae a Texas Tech: los Red Raiders trajeron al defensor de borde número 1 en su tabla y alguien en quien confían puede ser un corredor de pase de impacto en la defensa de Wood.
33. Beau Atkinson , DETransferencia de : Carolina del Norte | Temporadas restantes: 2
HT: 6-6 |
Antecedentes: Atkinson mostró un potencial intrigante durante su primera temporada de camiseta roja con los Tar Heels y dio un gran paso adelante en 2024 con 25 presiones, 12 tacleadas para la pérdida y 7.5 capturas
Scout's Take: esta es una gran pérdida para Carolina del Norte, ya que Atkinson se solidificó como una futura diferencia en este equipo en 2024 y atrajo mucha atención como un pase - Luginbill
Lo que trae a Ohio State: los campeones nacionales defensores perdieron a Jack Sawyer , JT Tuimolou , Tyleik Williams y Ty Hamilton a la NFL y entró en el período de primavera en busca de ayuda de la línea D de calidad para complementar su talento de regreso. Columbus, y debería ser una adición de impacto en el extremo defensivo.
34. Elo Modozie , LBTransferencia de: Ejército | Temporadas restantes: 2
HT: 6-3 |
Antecedentes: Modozie fue una revelación para una defensa del Ejército que terminó empatado en el número 4 a nivel nacional en 2024. La selección del tercer equipo All-AAC comenzó los 14 juegos y proporcionó un impacto en los equipos especiales con dos goles de campo.
La toma de Scout: este es el defensor de los bordes más altos en esta clase de portal de primavera . Tacebres ofensivas.
Lo que trae a Georgia: los Bulldogs se movieron rápidamente para bloquear uno de los defensores de borde más intrigantes en el portal de primavera .
35. Ethan Onianwa , OTTransferencia de: Rice | Temporadas restantes: 1
HT: 6-6 |
Antecedentes: Onianwa es una de las tacleadas ofensivas más experimentadas en el portal .
Scout's Take: Onianwa tiene un marco masivo, una gran longitud, a granel y experiencia en ambas posiciones de tackle.
Lo que trae a Ohio State: los Buckeyes han hecho un buen trabajo al abordar su necesidad en el tackle con Onianwa y Minnesota Phillip Daniels .
36. Ahmad Hardy , RBTransferencia de: Ul Monroe | Temporadas restantes: 3
HT: 5-10 |
Antecedentes: Hardy organizó una increíble temporada de debut con los Warhawks, apresurados para 1,351 yardas en 5.7 yardas por acarreo y 13 touchdowns para ganar Sun Belt Freshman of the Year Classed entre todos los bueyes de FBS en yardas de FBS en el estado de RushingState y Fored Skater en el estado de ESPN . Hace un año, era un recluta de no estrellas de Monticello, Mississippi.
Scout's Take: Hardy es un paquete compacto y explosivo en la posición de corredor .
Lo que trae a Missouri: Hardy aborda una gran necesidad de la ofensiva del entrenador Eli Drinkwitz con los principales corredores Nate Noel y Marcus Carroll graduados y prometedores estudiante de primer año Kewan Lacy que se transfiere a Ole Miss . Es uno de los jóvenes más emocionantes en el deporte y probó en Ulm que puede manejar una gran carga de trabajo de acarreos.
37. Justice Haynes , RBTransferencia de: Alabama | Temporadas restantes: 2
HT: 5-11 |
Background: Haynes was the No. 2 ranked running back in his class and the No. 24 overall player in the ESPN 300 for 2023. He earned 25 carries as a freshman and looked ready for a more significant role in 2024 with Alabama's top two backs graduating. Though he started the first six games of his sophomore season, it was Jam Miller who emerged as Alabama's featured back with Haynes rushing for 448 yards and seven TDs on a mere 6.6 rushing attempts per game. -- Olson
Scout's take: Haynes has been productive at Bama, but not in a featured role. He has all the traits of an every-down back: a strong, balanced runner with productive yards after contact. He runs with a lower center of gravity and will absorb the first hit and run through arm tackles. Haynes has good vision and quick-cutting burst to daylight, but he's not super elusive or a home run threat in the open field. He has good hands out of the backfield with compact power and leverage to also block on passing downs. He was a successful lead back in high school and certainly can produce in a similar role if he finds the right opportunity. -- Tucker
What he brings to Michigan: Haynes should get lots more opportunities to be a lead back with the Wolverines and will form a terrific duo with talented freshman Jordan Marshall , who rushed for 100 yards in Michigan's bowl win over Alabama. -- Olson
38. David Gusta , DTTransferring from: Washington State | Transferring to: Kentucky Seasons remaining: 1
HT: 6-3 | WT: 302 | Class: Redshirt junior
Background: Gusta wasn't initially looking to enter the transfer portal but ultimately chose to explore his options after coach Jake Dickert left for Wake Forest. The two-year starter was arguably the Cougars' top defensive player in 2024 and recorded 21 tackles, 18 pressures, three TFLs and three pass breakups while taking on double-teams for the Cougars' front. -- Olson
Scout's take: Gusta is a strong interior defender who is more impactful than his stat lines indicate. He displays an explosive first step and good redirect for a 300-pounder. He'll hold point and can be tough to move while also having really good quickness off the ball to disrupt and force double-teams. Gusta does a great job keeping his linebackers free against the run and creates enough interior pressure to force quarterbacks to get the ball out fast. He's very experienced and a technician when it comes to running gap integrity and maintaining his pass-rush lanes. -- Tucker
What he brings to Kentucky: This is a big win for the Wildcats over serious competition from Tennessee and Texas A&M, and Gusta helps address a significant need with Deone Walker moving on to the NFL and Keeshawn Silver transferring to USC. Gusta got a middle-round draft grade after last season and is eager to improve it by competing in the SEC. -- Olson
39. David Blay , DTTransferring from: Louisiana Tech | Transferring to: Miami Seasons remaining: 1
HT: 6-4 | WT: 303 | Class: Redshirt junior
Background: Blay became one of the most popular interior defensive linemen in the portal with more than 20 Power 4 offers. He began his career at the Division II level at West Chester University, where he produced 13 tackles for loss as a redshirt freshman. Louisiana Tech discovered him in the portal after the 2022 season and developed him into a first-team All-CUSA performer and a disruptive force at defensive tackle with 46 stops, 10.5 TFLs and 6.5 sacks. -- Olson
Scout's take: Blay is an active inside presence with a good burst and push off the ball. He fires off low and with good power and explosion to disrupt and make plays in the backfield. He's difficult to single block as a pass rusher. Blay quickly collapses the pocket and combines good burst and power for pressure. He'll also redirect and retrace with deceptive quickness. He plays with a high motor and effective range outside the tackles for a bigger interior lineman. -- Tucker
What he brings to Miami: Blay picked the Hurricanes over USC, Penn State and a lot of strong offers and gives them a plug-and-play starter who'll help replace the production of departing seniors Simeon Barrow Jr . and Akheem Mesidor . Miami has gone heavy on transfers at that position while it develops its young blue-chip talent, and Blay should be a quality addition to their group. -- Olson
40. Fa'alili Fa'amoe , OTTransferring from: Washington State | Transferring to: Wake Forest Seasons remaining: 1
HT: 6-5 | WT: 314 | Class: Redshirt junior
Background: Fa'amoe was projected to be a potential Day 2 draft pick entering the 2024 season but ended up in the transfer portal after Washington State's coaching change. Fa'amoe joined the program as a 215-pound defensive end, redshirted in his first two seasons and developed into a force for the Cougars as a 26-game starter at right tackle. He was limited by a knee injury early on in 2024 but came back to start seven games. -- Olson
Scout's take: Fa'amoe fell under the national radar, having played in American Samoa as an undersized defensive lineman. He has bulked up to 314 pounds and retained his athletic feet in the transition to right tackle. Fa'amoe has a good first step to kick and mirror faster edge rushers. He continues to improve his base and technique as a pass protector and remains solid sealing the edge as a run blocker. He's still not dominant moving blockers off the ball with great leverage and power, and Mateer certainly covered some pass-rush breakdowns with his elusiveness in the pocket. -- Tucker
What he brings to Wake Forest: Fa'amoe had a ton of options, including Michigan, Nebraska and LSU, but preferred to put his trust in his coaches by following them to Wake Forest. He'll reunite with Jake Dickert and offensive line coach Jared Kaster and look to boost his NFL draft status with a strong season in the ACC. -- Olson
41. Patrick Kutas , OGTransferring from: Arkansas | Transferring to: Ole Miss Seasons remaining: 2
HT: 6-5 | WT: 313 | Class: Junior
Background: Kutas, a three-star signee from Memphis, moved into the starting lineup as a sophomore and earned nine starts for the Razorbacks, primarily at right tackle. He was sidelined for most of his junior season after suffering a back injury in preseason practice but came back to make four starts at left guard and performed well, allowing zero sacks on his 233 snaps. Kutas was able to utilize his redshirt for the four-game season and became one of the more highly recruited interior linemen in the portal. -- Olson
Scout's take: Kutas hasn't lived up to expectations with injuries and inconsistent play but has multiple starts at OT and OG which adds tremendous value, as does his SEC experience. He plays with an edge and shows good functional strength and balance to move defenders off the ball as a run blocker. He can sit and anchor, possessing just enough bend to be an effective pass blocker. -- Tucker
What he brings to Ole Miss: Kutas' positional versatility will make him an asset for the Rebels next season. They're set to return tackles Jayden Williams and Diego Pounds but will need to reload at the interior spots with seniors Nate Kalepo , Reece McIntyre , Julius Buelow andGerquan Scott all graduating. Ole Miss was able to get one of the best available options and several more signees off Arkansas' roster. -- Olson
42. Malachi Fields , WRTransferring from: Virginia | Transferring to: Notre Dame Seasons remaining: 1
HT: 6-4 | WT: 220 | Class: Redshirt junior
Background: Fields is an exceptional athlete with excellent size and production. He put up 1,619 receiving yards over the past two seasons -- third-most in the ACC -- and 10 TDs on 113 receptions over the past two seasons and picked up third-team all-conference recognition in 2024 after another 800-yard season. -- Olson
Scout's take: Fields has an NFL blend of size, athleticism and ball skills. He also has very good production. The former high school quarterback has great awareness skills on the football field. He's a polished, savvy route runner who knows how to attack leverage and work for positioning. His pure separation burst is good but not great. He wins one-on-one matchups more with his physical strength and positioning than his speed. Fields makes the difficult grabs look easy and dominates the 50-50 ball. -- Tucker
What he brings to Notre Dame: The Fighting Irish did not produce a 500-yard receiver through their first 15 games in 2024.Riley Leonard did a nice job of spreading the targets around, but Fields should have an opportunity to be a true No. 1 receiver for Notre Dame's next starting QB. He'll be eager to join a playoff-caliber roster and help elevate their passing attack. -- Olson
43. Chase Sowell , WRTransferring from: East Carolina | Transferring to: Iowa State Seasons remaining: 2
HT: 6-4 | WT: 195 | Class: Redshirt sophomore
Background: Sowell has made an impressive comeback during his two seasons at ECU. The former three-star recruit began his career at Colorado in 2022 and struggled with injuries during his first season in the program. He was cut by the Buffaloes after going through spring practice with coach Deion Sanders and the new regime in Boulder. Sowell picked a place where he had a shot to play right away and became the Pirates' No. 1 receiver, catching 81 passes for 1,300 yards and four touchdowns over two seasons. -- Olson
Scout's take: Sowell is a tall, easy moving receiver with really good production over the past two years. He has terrific hands and body control for a 6-4 target and will go up and pluck the ball away from his frame creating matchup problems in the red area. He lacks elite burst off the line and out of breaks but changes tempo well as a deep route runner and is fast enough to get behind coverage. Sowell is smooth in his stem for a long strider. He's an effective blocker but still needs to build up his frame to break press at the P4 level, and true separation speed is still a question mark. -- Tucker
What he brings to Iowa State: The Cyclones looked to the portal in search of a quality replacement for All-Big 12 wideout Jayden Higgins , and they succeeded in landing their No. 1 target. Sowell jumped at the opportunity to play with quarterback Rocco Becht and play a high-target role -- Higgins saw 136 last season -- for a Cyclones team that just won a school-record 11 games and are trying to go even further in 2025. -- Olson
44. Mark Gronowski , QBTransferring from: South Dakota State | Transferring to: Iowa Seasons remaining: 1
HT: 6-3 | WT: 230 | Class: Redshirt senior
Background: Gronowski entered the portal at the end of the winter cycle after his coaching staff left to take over Washington State. None of the other QBs available this offseason come close to matching his career production. He's been one of the most dominant QBs in the sport, a four-year starter with a 49-6 career record and two national championship rings at the FCS level. Gronowski is the active career leader at the FCS level in total offense with 10,309 passing yards, 1,767 rushing yards and 130 total touchdowns. He won the Walter Payton Award in 2023 as the top offensive player at that level. He went into the 2024 season with a late-round NFL draft grade but will look to boost his draft stock with one final season at the FBS level. -- Olson
Scout's take: This guy is the very definition of substance over style. All he does is make good decisions and win. It's not always pretty and his methods can be unorthodox, but the end result is among the elite in college football. An adequate athlete, Gronowski shines with his accuracy. He'll bring experience and smart play along with a sky-high expectation to perform, which he has done his entire career. -- Luginbill
What he brings to Iowa: What a win for the Hawkeyes. They were looking to improve their QB situation for 2025 via the portal, and their patience paid off when Gronowski hit the market. There's not a more experienced or accomplished QB in this cycle when you consider he's played more than 3,000 career snaps. Gronowski was productive in his lone start against Power 4 competition in 2024, throwing for 264 yards and two TDs with one interception in a 44-20 loss at Oklahoma State. He'll be eager to prove he can compete at the highest level in the Big Ten. -- Olson
45. Kaidon Salter , QBTransferring from: Liberty | Transferring to: Colorado Seasons remaining: 1
HT: 6-1 | WT: 200 | Class: Redshirt junior
Background: Salter led a historic season for Liberty in 2023 with a 13-0 run, a Conference USA title and a trip to the Fiesta Bowl. He earned CUSA MVP honors in his first season operating coach Jamey Chadwell's spread option attack. The Flames couldn't match 2023, falling to 8-3 season this fall, but few QBs in this portal market have more proven dual-threat production. The former Tennessee transfer has put up 5,887 passing yards, 2,013 rushing yards and 77 total touchdowns with 31 turnovers in his career. -- Olson
Scout's take: Salter is another version of SMU's Kevin Jennings . He's crafty, makes a ton of plays off platform and can make things happen on the move. He can be incredibly accurate on small-window throws down the middle of the field. -- Luginbill
What he brings to Colorado: Salter is exactly what Colorado needed for 2025, a veteran one-year starter who can be highly productive in the Big 12 and give five-star freshman Julian Lewis strong competition and a chance to develop during his freshman year. It'll be interesting to see how coordinator Pat Shurmur adjusts his offense to play to Salter's strengths as a runner, and there's no doubt the senior will enjoy playing with the Buffaloes' talented young receiving corps. -- Olson
46. Hunter Zambrano , OTTransferring from: Illinois State | Transferring to: Texas Tech Seasons remaining: 1
HT: 6-5 | WT: 305 | Class: Redshirt senior
Background: Zambrano developed into a three-year starter at left tackle for the Redbirds and earned preseason FCS All-America honors going into the 2024 season. He started two games last season, including the opener against Iowa, before a hip issue forced him to sit out the rest of the season. That setback gave him one extra season to make a move up to the FBS level. -- Olson
Scout's take: Zambrano has some of the better physical tools of any FCS offensive lineman in the portal. He possesses good size and length at left tackle, but his agility is more suited for right tackle at the FBS level. He demonstrates good feet and hands in pass pro, technically sound, but needs to show improved bend and explosion in the run game to transition to a higher level and be effective. -- Tucker
What he brings to Texas Tech: The combination of Sampson and Zambrano should help the Red Raiders get a lot better up front in 2025. Zambrano is a legit NFL draft prospect who's ready to prove he can compete at the highest level, and it'll be interesting to see which spot he holds down in the lineup in Lubbock. -- Olson
47. Reggie Virgil , WRTransferring from: Miami (Ohio) | Transferring to: Texas Tech Seasons remaining: 1
HT: 6-4 | WT: 190 | Class: Junior
Background: After two quiet seasons with the Red Hawks in which he recorded two career catches, Virgil put together a breakthrough season in 2024 and earned second-team All-MAC recognition. He turned 41 catches into 816 receiving yards and nine touchdowns, with three 100-yard performances to help his squad go on a seven-game win streak and play for a MAC title. He picked up a long list of offers and took visits to Michigan State and Texas Tech. -- Olson
Scout's take: Virgil is a big, athletic target with great hands. He's a vertical threat who knows how to use his length to climb the ladder and make the difficult grab. Virgil was an impressive long jumper out of high school who went over 22 feet. He's a vertical stretcher as well, with a long stride to accelerate past coverage. We expect he will be coveted given his one-on-one matchup potential on the outside -- Tucker
What he brings to Texas Tech: The Red Raiders got a big year out of Washington State transfer Josh Kelly , who earned second-team All-Big 12 honors in 2024, and are hoping for similar success with Virgil. With four wideouts moving on via the portal, Texas Tech had a clear need at this position and got Virgil locked up before he took more visits. -- Olson
48. Trebor Pena , WRTransferring from: Syracuse | Transferring to: Penn State Seasons remaining: 1
HT: 6-0 | WT: 184 | Class: Redshirt junior
Background: Pena has been a return specialist throughout his career with more than 1,400 career yards on kickoff and punt returns. But after missing almost the entire 2023 season due to injury, he came back strong and proved he could be a real playmaker at receiver. Pena emerged as Kyle McCord 's go-to target and led the ACC with 84 receptions on the year, putting up 941 receiving yards and nine TDs to help spark a stunning turnaround and 10-win season under new coach Fran Brown. The second-team All-ACC performer will be a sixth-year senior this fall and is looking to boost his NFL draft stock with one more big season. -- Olson
Scout's take: Pena is very similar to former Miami wide receiver Xavier Restrepo , only Pena is slightly bigger. He's super reliable with terrific ball skills, a great feel for navigating zone coverage and always finds a way to get open. He's the ultimate security blanket for a quarterback when you absolutely have to have the catch on a critical down. He is a really crafty route runner who knows how to set up defenders and create separation in tight quarters. He's versatile and can play on the inside and outside. -- Luginbill
What he brings to Penn State: This is a massive get for the Nittany Lions. They were determined to get a top receiver in the spring portal period and won out for their No. 1 target, giving quarterback Drew Allar an experienced playmaker in the slot who had no shortage of strong Power 4 offers. When you come as close as Penn State did to playing for a national championship, you have to be willing to make some big moves to take that next step. The transfer trio of Pena, Kyron Hudson and Devonte Ross should quickly elevate the production in their receiver room. -- Olson
49. Rahsul Faison , RBTransferring from: Utah State | Transferring to: South Carolina Seasons remaining: 1
HT: 6-0 | WT: 218 | Class: Redshirt senior
Background: Faison was expected to enter the NFL draft this offseason, but the Diego Pavia ruling for former junior college transfers created an opportunity for one extra college season. He was a revelation over his two seasons at Utah State, rushing for 1,845 yards and 13 touchdowns with seven 100-yard performances, including a career-high 191 yards against Hawaii last season. The second-team All-Mountain West selection forced 98 missed tackles during his time with the Aggies according to ESPN Research, which ranked second-most in the conference behind Boise State's Ashton Jeanty. The 25-year-old back will be a seventh-year senior this fall after beginning his career at Marshall in 2019. -- Olson
Scout's take: One of the top returning backs in the country, Faison checks all the physical boxes as a featured runner. He has impressive size and power to break tackles inline but also great vision and stop-start quickness to elude at the second level. His cutback ability in traffic is exceptional. He runs hard with balance and second effort. The one area he's lacking is a game-breaker second gear, but he's ultra elusive with exception vision and shiftiness in the open field. Polished receiving skills out of the backfield adds to his value. -- Tucker
What he brings to South Carolina: Faison still needs to get his extra season of eligibility approved by the NCAA, but he's poised to be a serious difference-maker for a Gamecocks squad with CFP ambitions in 2025. He'll step right in for Raheim Sanders as another highly productive transfer back and gives this LaNorris Sellers -led offense another reliable weapon to build around. -- Olson
50. Raion Strader , CBTransferring from: Miami (Ohio) | Transferring to: Auburn Seasons remaining: 2
HT: 6-0 | WT: 182 | Class: Sophomore
Background: Strader is coming off a first-team All-MAC sophomore season and has been one of the best young corners in the country over his first two seasons. He's currently leading FBS in pass breakups with 18 on the year after breaking up 13 as a freshman and has also picked off three passes for the RedHawks. Opposing quarterbacks completed just 52% of their attempts against Strader in 2024, according to ESPN Research. He became one of the most heavily recruited corners in this cycle with more than 18 offers from Power 4 programs. -- Olson
Scout's take: Extremely productive football player with great play-speed and coverage skills. He excels in man-to-man with fluid hips and terrific recovery speed but is equally adept at reading the QB and jumping routes in zone coverage. Possesses polished ball skills. Will use his strong hands to press and get off blocks to set the edge as a tackler. -- Tucker
What he brings to Auburn: Another premium portal pickup for the Tigers as they load up for 2025. Strader joins a team that leaned on two young corners, sophomore Kayin Lee and freshman Jay Crawford , to get through the season and managed to finish with a top-30 scoring defense. Strader's experience will make him a valuable asset in the secondary. -- Olson
51. Braelin Moore , CTransferring from: Virginia Tech | Transferring to: LSU Seasons remaining: 2
HT: 6-3 | WT: 303 | Class: Redshirt sophomore
Background: Moore brings experience and invaluable versatility from his three seasons at Virginia Tech. The honorable mention All-ACC performer earning the starting left guard role as a redshirt freshman and played well, then transitioned to center for 2024 and was even better. Moore has allowed just one sack on 654 snaps in pass protection, according to ESPN Research. -- Olson
What he brings to LSU: After rolling with a redshirt freshman starter at center in DJ Chester , the Tigers looked to the portal for a more proven commodity and locked up Moore, the top center available in this portal cycle. -- Olson
52. Josh Thompson , OGTransferring from: Northwestern | Transferring to: LSU Seasons remaining: 1
HT: 6-5 | WT: 301 | Class: Redshirt junior
Background: Thompson, a former three-star recruit from Michigan, emerged as a key starter for the Wildcats after two years of development. He started at right tackle in 2023 but found his more natural fit at right guard last season, earning honorable mention All-Big Ten recognition after he did not surrender a sack all season. According to ESPN Research, Thompson had the fourth-best pressure rate (0.8%) among all Big Ten starting guards this season. -- Olson
What he brings to LSU: The Tigers identified Thompson as one of the best interior offensive linemen in this cycle and beat Tennessee, Ohio State and several others for his pledge. He's a big addition and a future pro. -- Olson
53. Noah Thomas , WRTransferring from: Texas A&M | Transferring to: Georgia Seasons remaining: 2
HT: 6-6 | WT: 200 | Class: Junior
Background: Thomas emerged as the Aggies' leading receiver as a junior and produced eight touchdown catches, tied for second-most in the SEC. He turned 73 catches into 984 yards and 15 touchdowns over three seasons in College Station. -- Olson
What he brings to Georgia: The Bulldogs really lacked a big-bodied receiver for their passing attack after Miami transfer Colbie Young was suspended during the season, so Thomas certainly resolves that need and sets Georgia up to have one of the SEC's best receiver trios in 2025 with Branch, Thomas and Dillon Bell . -- Olson
54. Kevin Coleman Jr ., WRTransferring from: Mississippi State | Transferring to: Missouri Seasons remaining: 1
HT: 5-11 | WT: 180 | Class: Junior
Background: Coleman is moving on to his fourth school in four years after stints at Jackson State, Louisville and Mississippi State, but he has produced everywhere he's been. The former SWAC Freshman of the Year is coming off a career-best year in Starkville, ranking third in the SEC in receiving yards per game and producing 1,096 all-purpose yards and six TDs as a receiver and punt returner. -- Olson
What he brings to Missouri: The St. Louis native is coming home for his final season of eligibility and will see a ton of targets in an offense that must replace the production ofLuther Burden III ,Theo Wease Jr . and Mookie Cooper . -- Olson
55. Thaddeus Dixon , CBTransferring from: Washington | Transferring to: North Carolina Seasons remaining: 1
HT: 6-1 | WT: 185 | Class: Senior
Background: After playing a reserve role for the Huskies during their run to the CFP title game in 2023, Dixon took over as a starter last season and earned honorable mention All-Big Ten recognition for the Huskies. He finished as a top-five starting corner in the conference in completion percentage (35%), yards per attempt (3.7) and pass breakups (10), according to ESPN Research. Thanks to the Diego Pavia ruling, the former junior college transfer was granted an extra season of eligibility and opted to transfer after the Huskies brought in Davis from Arizona. -- Olson
What he brings to North Carolina: A plug-and-play starter who'll benefit greatly from the fact he played for defensive coordinator Steve Belichick last season in Seattle. The Tar Heels managed to beat out Ole Miss and several more contenders for a pledge from Dixon, who should team up with returning starter Marcus Allen to provide good experience in the secondary. -- Olson
56. Jeremiah Wilson , CBTransferring from: Houston | Transferring to: Florida State Seasons remaining: 1
HT: 5-10 | WT: 185 | Class: Junior
Background: After two solid seasons at Syracuse, Wilson transferred to Houston and proved he can be a difference-maker. He snagged four interceptions last season and allowed just 12 completions on 33 targets, the fourth-lowest completion percentage (36%) among Big 12 starting corners according to ESPN Research. Wilson has one more season ahead of him and is hoping he can boost his draft stock in 2025 by making one more move. -- Olson
Scout's take: Wilson possesses length, instincts, foot speed and excellent ball skills. Aside from great physical traits on the perimeter, he has been really productive. He has a really good feel for zone coverage and how to align himself to bait quarterbacks into making poor decisions with the football. Wilson displays the short-area quickness and burst in man coverage to lock people down one-on-one. He's very competitive in contested matchups where his ball skills become magnified. The only question is his true speed. -- Luginbill
What he brings to Florida State: The Kissimmee, Florida, native is coming back to his home state and reuniting with defensive coordinator Tony White, who previously coached him during his freshman year at Syracuse. Wilson brings needed experience and should catch up quickly as he gets back to playing in a defense he already knows. -- Olson
57. AJ Haulcy , STransferring from: Houston | Transferring to: LSU Seasons remaining: 1
HT: 6-0 | WT: 215 | Class: Junior
Background: Haulcy began his career at New Mexico in 2022 and turned a strong true freshman season into an opportunity to come home and play for Houston. He's been a two-year starter for the Cougars and earned first-team All-Big 12 honors last season after picking off five passes and recording eight pass breakups plus 74 tackles. Veteran starters like Haulcy who've played more than 2,000 career snaps tend to attract plenty of interest in the spring portal window. -- Olson
Scout's take: Haulcy is a prototypical hard-hitting safety who is a bit of a throwback player. He's physical and loves to throw his body around. He's an outstanding tackler, but also has the personality and leadership skills to be the heart and soul of a defense. -- Luginbill
What he brings to LSU: This is the cherry on top of LSU's extremely impressive portal recruiting class. Haulcy and NC State transfer Tamarcus Cooley represent significant upgrades at the safety position for the Tigers. It'll be interesting to see how secondary coach Corey Raymond moves his guys around this fall, because a secondary that ranked No. 2 in SEC play in passing yards per game just added a lot more talent this offseason. -- Olson
58. Micah Hudson , WRTransferring from: Texas A&M | Transferring to: Texas Tech Seasons remaining: 3
HT: 6-0 | WT: 195 | Class: Freshman
Background: Hudson, a five-star recruit and the No. 22 overall player in last year's ESPN 300, was the highest-ranked signee in Texas Tech history. But his true freshman season did not play out the way he'd hoped and he finished with eight catches for 123 yards in a reserve role. Hudson transferred to Texas A&M this offseason but left the program in January soon after he arrived. -- Olson
Scout's take: Hudson played in the 2024 Under Armour All-America Game to culminate an amazing high school career, but we did see a lack of urgency and production in that small sample size. While he showed flashes at Texas Tech, it was surprising that he didn't have much impact as a freshman given his playmaking speed and dynamic skill-set. He's a natural pass catcher and has the explosive athleticism to elevate and pluck the contested jump ball, but his true separation speed at the college level is the key question. He did not have verified track or combine testing times as an upperclassman in high school. His early times in the 100- and 200-meter were just adequate. -- Tucker
What he brings to Texas Tech: Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire and his staff are giving Hudson a second chance and hoping he'll make the most of it. If Hudson comes in with humility and patience and puts in the work to regain the trust of his teammates and coaches, this could end up being quite a success story. He'll have to earn his playing time, too, in a receiver room led by returning starters Caleb Douglas and Coy Eakin plus the addition of Virgil. If Hudson attacks this opportunity with the right mentality, he could become an X factor for a squad that has more than enough talent to win the Big 12 in 2025. -- Olson
59. Mario Craver , WRTransferring from: Mississippi State | Transferring to: Texas A&M Seasons remaining: 3
HT: 5-10 | WT: 170 | Class: Freshman
Background: Craver, ESPN's No. 273 overall prospect in the 2024 class, carved out an immediate role during his freshman season at Mississippi State and presents high upside given his elite speed, Year 1 production and eligibility runway. He flashed plenty of promise in a middling Bulldogs' offense, totaling 17 catches for 368 yards and three TDs in nine games. Craver was sidelined by injury for a pair of games in October and suspended for another contest in November but still finished as one of the Bulldogs' most productive pass catchers in 2024. -- Lederman
Scout's take: Craver is an undersized receiver but quick, elusive and fast. He ran 10.7 out of high school and flashed that acceleration last season with the ball is his hands. He has soft hands and transitions up-field with terrific suddenness after the catch and reaches top speed quickly. Will turn a short pass into a big gain and is the ideal slot that can be move around to create underneath separation and mismatches. -- Tucker
What he brings to Texas A&M: Coach Mike Elko has done an impressive job of adding more playmakers since taking over and brought in three more at the receiver position via the portal between Craver, Concepcion and Houston's Jonah Wilson . While things didn't work out with Hudson, the Aggies still have plenty of firepower at receiver for the foreseeable future. -- Olson
60. Xavier Lucas , CBTransferring from: Wisconsin | Transferring to: Miami Seasons remaining: 3
HT: 6-2 | WT: 198 | Class: Freshman
Background: Lucas, a three-star signee in the 2024 class, got on the field right away as a true freshman for the Badgers and made a solid first impression. He played 192 snaps on the year, grabbed an interception in Wisconsin's season opener and allowed just two catches in his first career start against Nebraska. After initially agreeing to return in 2025, Lucas made the surprising decision to transfer closer to home in January. -- Olson
What he brings to Miami: Lucas went through an extremely contentious exit from the program , deciding to transfer to Miami after Wisconsin made the unprecedented move of refusing to enter his name in the NCAA transfer portal, citing the binding nature of NIL agreement and alleging Miami tampered with him. The Hurricanes have totally revamped their secondary this offseason and are betting that Lucas can develop into a difference-maker over the next few years. -- Olson
61. Zechariah Poyser , STransferring from: Jacksonville State | Transferring to: Miami Seasons remaining: 3
HT: 6-2 | WT: 190 | Class: Redshirt freshman
Background: Poyser was a no-star recruit for Jacksonville State who quickly became a gem and is now being heavily recruited by SEC programs. The Wildwood, Florida, native started all 13 games at safety for the Gamecocks during their run to a Conference USA championship. He recorded 73 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, eight pass breakups and three interceptions. -- Olson
Scout's take: Poyser flew under the radar coming out of high school but didn't during the portal. He has a supreme blend of size, range and ball skills. He's quick to break and get into pursuit on underneath routes with the long stride to also get on top of downfield throws. He displays a nose for the football around the box and is a strong open-field tackler. Aside from possessing great physical traits, he's quick to diagnose and an instinctive overall football player. -- Tucker
What he brings to Miami: This was a nice win for the Hurricanes against a ton of SEC competition for one of the top DBs available. They depended on a sixth-year senior at safety in Washington transfer Mishael Powell this season and have found a terrific young replacement who'll keep improving and make them better on the back end. -- Olson
62. Luke Hasz , TETransferring from: Arkansas | Transferring to: Ole Miss Seasons remaining: 2
HT: 6-3 | WT: 241 | Class: Sophomore
Background: The former No. 83 overall recruit in 2023 ESPN 300 got off to a hot start as a freshman with 253 receiving yards and three TDs on 16 catches before suffering a season-ending collarbone injury. Hasz came back better in 2024 and turned 26 catches into 324 yards and four TDs as a sophomore. -- Olson
What he brings to Ole Miss: Lane Kiffin and the Rebels quickly found and secured their replacement for Caden Prieskorn with Hasz. Prieskorn played a good role in their passing attack, with 54 catches for 824 yards over two seasons in Oxford. Now Hasz takes over for him and will pair with Dae'Quan Wright in what should be one of the top tight end duos in the SEC. -- Olson
63. Ethan O'Connor , CBTransferring from: Washington State | Transferring to: Miami Seasons remaining: 3
HT: 6-1 | WT: 172 | Class: Redshirt freshman
Background: O'Connor moved into the starting lineup for the Cougars as a redshirt freshman and put together a really promising debut season with 32 tackles, eight pass breakups and four interceptions, including a pick-six against Fresno State. O'Connor allowed catches on just 23 of 52 attempts (44%), according to ESPN Research. -- Olson
Scout's take: O'Connor has length and ball skills as a perimeter defender, which will make him valued in the portal. He's very active around the football with effective range and pursuit angles. O'Connor does a good job of timing his break and is adept at undercutting routes as well as tracking the deep throw. He demonstrates wiry strength as a tackler. -- Tucker
What he brings to Miami: The Hurricanes have seriously reloaded their cornerback room this offseason with O'Connor, Lucas, Charles Brantley (Michigan State) and nickel Keionte Scott (Houston) all coming in to compete this offseason. The young trio of O'Connor, Lucas and Freshman All-America starter OJ Frederique Jr . gives Miami an extremely bright future at this position. -- Olson
64. Jordan Dwyer , WRTransferring from: Idaho | Transferring to: TCU Seasons remaining: 2
HT: 6-0 | WT: 195 | Class: Redshirt sophomore
Background: Dwyer enjoyed a breakout sophomore season for the Vandals, finishing No. 2 in the Big Sky in catches (78), receiving yards (1,192) and touchdown catches (12) and closing with a career-high 189 yards against Montana State in the FCS playoffs. After Idaho coach Jason Eck left to take over New Mexico, Dwyer put his name in the portal. -- Olson
What he brings to TCU: The Horned Frogs needed to reload at wide receiver this offseason with four of their top five wideouts graduating and won a critical battle for Dwyer against plenty of Power 4 competition. Dwyer and Houston transfer Joseph Manjack IV should be key targets for Josh Hoover in 2025. -- Olson
65. CJ Donaldson Jr ., RBTransferring from: West Virginia | Transferring to: Ohio State Seasons remaining: 1
HT: 6-2 | WT: 238 | Class: Junior
Background: Donaldson was an under-the-radar get out of Miami for the Mountaineers and initially signed to play tight end, but he proved right away as a freshman that he can be an impact back. He rushed for 2,058 yards and scored 31 touchdowns over three seasons in Morgantown. -- Olson
What he brings to Ohio State: The Buckeyes must replace second-round draft picks Quinshon Judkins and TreVeyon Henderson at this spot and have lots of blue-chip talent competing for carries. Donaldson should be a great complement to sophomore James Peoples and will have an opportunity to play a significant role for the defending national champs. -- Olson
66. Isaiah Horton , WRTransferring from: Miami | Transferring to: Alabama Seasons remaining: 2
HT: 6-4 | WT: 205 | Class: Redshirt sophomore
Background: Horton, a former ESPN 300 recruit, looked poised to become Miami's No. 1 receiver in 2025 after a breakthrough sophomore season with Cam Ward in which he caught 56 passes for 616 yards and five touchdowns. -- Olson
What he brings to Alabama: The Crimson Tide clearly needed some help around Ryan Williams after losing four wide receivers to the portal in December, so Horton was a much-needed pickup for their starting lineup who'll form a strong trio with Williams and returning starter Germie Bernard . -- Olson
67. Maraad Watson , DTTransferring from: Syracuse | Transferring to: Texas Seasons remaining: 3
HT: 6-3 | WT: 313 | Class: Freshman
Background: The three-star signee from Irvington, New Jersey, proved he was ready to play right away in 2024, making 11 starts as a true freshman and earning Freshman All-America recognition after producing 31 run stops, seven pressures, 1.5 TFLs and a sack. Watson became a reliable force as the season progressed, playing a season-high 64 snaps and logging six tackles in Syracuse's upset win over Miami in the regular season finale. He wasn't highly recruited coming out of high school, but the former Kent State commit had plenty of options in the portal with Texas, Georgia, Ohio State and Tennessee battling for his pledge. -- Olson
Scout's take: Watson was a sleeper out of high school who enjoyed a productive 2024 season, increasingly becoming a handful for opposing offensive fronts as the season wore on. He has above average height and is around 315 pounds but moves like he's 280. He's really disruptive, and when he plays with a consistent motor, he can be a problem not just stopping the run but as a pass rusher as well. Watson could play on the inside, but also could be a real difficult matchup as a 5-tech over the tackle. -- Luginbill
What he brings to Texas: Adding interior defensive linemen has been a major priority for the Longhorns this offseason as they work to replace Alfred Collins , Vernon Broughton , Jermayne Lole and Bill Norton up front. Watson is a big-time get who should make an instant impact for a position group that is counting on a combination of unproven youth and portal newcomers to step up in 2025. -- Olson
68. Keeshawn Silver , DTTransferring from: Kentucky | Transferring to: USC Seasons remaining: 1
HT: 6-4 | WT: 336 | Class: Redshirt junior
Background: Silver began his career at North Carolina and was a massive recruiting win for Mack Brown and the Tar Heels as the No. 8 overall recruit in the 2021 ESPN 300. He struggled to earn a significant role in Chapel Hill, playing a total of 29 snaps over two seasons, but he turned his career around at Kentucky. The massive nose guard started 11 games this season and had 43 tackles, three tackles for loss and one sack during his two seasons with the Wildcats. -- Olson
Scout's take: Silver is essentially a run-down nose guard more suited to a two-gap scheme. He has the size and strength to demand a double-team, but still maintains quick feet and agility to penetrate when single-blocked. Silver has above average push and ability to close on the pocket as a pass rusher. Leverage is his best asset and he's tough to move even with his height and length and has powerful hands to shed blocks. The flashes of burst he shows when aligned as 3-technique are what will make him a top target in the portal. -- Tucker
What he brings to USC: The Trojans battled with Miami, Florida and Michigan for this pledge and are getting a much-needed addition for the middle of its D-line. Coach Lincoln Riley is having to replace Nate Clifton , Bear Alexander and Gavin Meyer at defensive tackle this offseason and succeeded in finding a plug-and-play starter with experience who they hope can start playing his best football as a senior. -- Olson
69. Nikhai Hill-Green , LBTransferring from: Colorado | Transferring to: Alabama Seasons remaining: 1
HT: 6-2 | WT: 230 | Class: Redshirt senior
Background: After stops at Michigan and Charlotte, Hill-Green emerged as an impact defender and leader in Colorado's turnaround on defense in 2024, producing 82 tackles, 11.5 TFLs, four pass breakups and two interceptions to earn second-team All-Big 12 honors. -- Olson
What he brings to Alabama: Hill-Green likely could've been drafted had he decided to go pro, but instead he'll be a sixth-year senior for the Crimson Tide and bring veteran leadership to a defense that now looks loaded at linebacker with Deontae Lawson and Justin Jefferson returning. -- Olson
70. Jimmori Robinson , DETransferring from: UTSA | Transferring to: West Virginia Seasons remaining: 1
HT: 6-4 | WT: 265 | Class: Redshirt senior
Background: Robinson, a former junior college transfer, joined UTSA in 2021 and steadily developed into a star over his four seasons in the program. The veteran edge defender earned Defensive Player of the Year honors in the AAC last season after producing a conference-high 43 pressures, 17 tackles for loss and 10.5 sacks. According to ESPN Research, Robinson had the second-best edge pressure rate among FBS starters (19.2%) last season behind only Penn State's Abdul Carter . He's back for one extra season thanks to the Pavia ruling and will be a 25-year-old senior this fall. -- Olson
What he brings to West Virginia: Robinson is arguably the biggest gem of the Mountaineers' massive roster rebuild this offseason under coach Rich Rodriguez. He represents a critically important portal win for this program and should quickly emerge as one of the Big 12's most effective pass rushers in 2025. -- Olson
71. Princewill Umanmielen , DETransferring from: Nebraska | Transferring to: Ole Miss Seasons remaining: 2
HT: 6-5 | WT: 245 | Class: Sophomore
Background: The younger brother of Ole Miss star Princely Umanmielen had a solid two-year run as a pass rusher for the Huskers and is looking to take his game to the next level at another program. The former ESPN 300 recruit recorded 35 tackles, 30 pressures, 7 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks over 440 snaps. -- Olson
What he brings to Ole Miss: Umanmielen will follow in his brother's footsteps by continuing his career in Oxford. He's a talented athlete who is hoping to significantly increase his production as a junior after finishing with 2.5 TFLs and 0.5 sacks in 2024. -- Olson
72. CJ Daniels , WRTransferring from: LSU | Transferring to: Miami Seasons remaining: 1
HT: 6-2 | WT: 205 | Class: Redshirt junior
Background: Daniels landed at LSU in 2024 as a prized portal addition after hauling in 106 passes for 1,954 yards and 21 touchdowns across four seasons at Liberty. And while Daniels failed to find the end zone in his lone season with the Tigers, he remained an effective target, pulling in 42 passes for 480 yards as LSU's fourth-most targeted pass catcher in 2024. -- Lederman
Scout's take: Daniels was a coveted pickup from the portal last year and produced for LSU this season. His value and production come from his excellent hands and body control. He may lack elite speed, but he is quick in his movements and is a savvy route runner who can get open, and that combined with his size (6-2, 205) make him a productive red zone target as well. -- Tucker
What he brings to Miami: The Hurricanes had a big need at wide receiver with Xavier Restrepo and Jacolby George heading off to the NFL and isaiah Horton transferring to Alabama. Daniels should see plenty of targets from Beck next season and have the kind of high-usage role he was hoping to earn at LSU to boost his draft stock. -- Olson
73. De'Zhaun Stribling , WRTransferring from: Oklahoma State | Transferring to: Ole Miss Seasons remaining: 1
HT: 6-2 | WT: 200 | Class: Redshirt junior
Background: Stribling's 2,153 career receiving yards made him one of the most productive wideouts available in the portal this offseason. The veteran wideout led all Pac-12 freshmen in receiving in 2021 at Washington State and was Cam Ward 's No. 1 receiver in 2022. A broken wrist forced him to miss most of his junior season at Oklahoma State, but Stribling bounced back with a career year in 2024, catching 52 passes for 882 yards and six scores despite playing with three different QBs. -- Olson
What he brings to Ole Miss: The Rebels did an impressive job of reloading in the portal to help replace the production of Tre Harris , Jordan Watkins and Antwane Wells Jr . Stribling should play a leading role for this group alongside returning starter Cayden Lee with Deuce Alexander (Wake Forest), Harrison Wallace III (Penn State), Caleb Odom (Alabama) and Traylon Ray (West Virginia) all coming in to compete for targets. -- Olson
74. Daniel King , OTTransferring from: Troy | Transferring to: North Carolina Seasons remaining: 1
HT: 6-5 | WT: 340 | Class: Senior
Background: King became one of the most experienced offensive linemen to hit the portal when he was granted an additional season of eligibility by the Pavia ruling. He started all 40 games over his three seasons at Troy, played more than 2,600 snaps and twice earned second-team All-Sun Belt honors. King primarily started at right guard over his first two seasons with the Trojans, but he also demonstrated he can play right tackle over the second half of last season. -- Olson
What he brings to North Carolina: Belichick and his new regime have brought in eight new offensive linemen via the portal as they work to rebuild up front. They'll likely be counting on King to step right in as a starter, though it'll be interesting to see if his best fit for this squad is right guard or tackle as he takes on ACC competition. -- Olson
75. Fluff Bothwell , RBTransferring from: South Alabama | Transferring to: Mississippi State Seasons remaining: 3
HT: 5-10 | WT: 219 | Class: Freshman
Background: Bothwell, an unranked prospect in ESPN's rankings for 2024, entered the portal after one of the most productive rushing seasons of any freshman running back across the country. Bothwell exploded for 832 rushing yards on 111 attempts in 2024 while splitting carries with Kentrel Bullock , finishing fifth among FBS backs in yards per carry (7.5). He emerged as a red zone weapon with 13 rushing scores, tied for most in the Sun Belt, and was a third-team all-conference selection. -- Lederman
Scout's take: Bothwell is a shifty downhill runner with great balance and feet through the hole. He's not the fastest or most elusive but he doesn't leave yards on the field either. He's strong with a low center of gravity and makes quick subtle cuts through traffic, making it hard to wrap up cleanly. He can catch the ball out of the backfield as well. -- Tucker
What he brings to Mississippi State: Bothwell proved he's more than capable of playing in the SEC during his freshman season and is a big-time get for Jeff Lebby's offense. The Bulldogs were looking for a featured back in the portal but also managed to get leading rusher Davon Booth (1,231 all-purpose yards, 9 TDs) back for 2025 thanks to the Pavia ruling. Bothwell and Booth will be a formidable duo for Lebby's rebuild. -- Olson
76. Wayshawn Parker , RBTransferring from: Washington State | Transferring to: Utah Seasons remaining: 3
HT: 6-0 | WT: 199 | Class: Freshman
Background: Parker emerged as the Cougars' top running back and second-leading rusher as a true freshman. He totaled 137 carries for 735 rushing yards and four rushing scores in 2024, trailing only Mateer in each category as the Cougars' ground attack helped power the No. 6 scoring offense in FBS. Parker set a program freshman record with his 149-yard performance against Utah State and proved tough to carry, averaging 3 yards after first contact per carry. -- Lederman
Scout's take: We listed Parker as an athlete coming out of high school because of his versatile tools, including great ball skills. He had a great freshman season at running back, showcasing quick lateral feet and vision to make defenders miss through the hole and the burst to get into the second level. Parks has good contact balance and is slippery, making it difficult to get a clean shot on him. He's not a game-breaker but is fast enough to avoid getting caught from behind. He checks all the boxes for an every-down back including polished hands and route running skills. -- Tucker
What he brings to Utah: Parker followed his running backs coach, Mark Atuaia, to Salt Lake City and should play a featured role in Utah's new-look offense in 2025. The Utes have restocked their backfield this offseason with Parker, NaQuari Rogers (New Mexico) and Devin Green (UNLV) joining the program via the portal. -- Olson
77. Nyziah Hunter , WRTransferring from: Cal | Transferring to: Nebraska Seasons remaining: 3
HT: 6-2 | WT: 210 | Class: Redshirt freshman
Background: The former four-star recruit from Salinas, California, redshirted in 2023 and emerged as Fernando Mendoza's No. 1 receiver in his debut season, turning 59 targets into 40 catches for 578 yards and five touchdowns. He immediately picked up more than a dozen Power 4 offers upon entering the portal and became one of the more popular young wideouts on the market. -- Olson
Scout's take: Hunter is just scratching the surface of his potential. He possesses 10.62 100-meter speed and has developed physically into an imposing 6-foot-2, 210-pound target. He eats up cushions in a hurry, can threaten vertically and makes acrobatic, contested grabs. Hunter is still developing as a route-runner and will body-catch at times, but he could blossom into a difference-making P4 receiver. -- Tucker
What he brings to Nebraska: The Huskers were hunting for impact wideouts in the transfer portal and were willing to chase the great ones in order to give Dylan Raiola some legit No. 1 and 2 receivers for his sophomore year. The Huskers are getting a big-time talent who should develop into a go-to target alongside Dane Key for their five-star QB. -- Olson
78. Conner Weigman , QBTransferring from: Texas A&M | Transferring to: Houston Seasons remaining: 2
HT: 6-3 | WT: 220 | Class: Redshirt sophomore
Background: After missing most of last season with a foot injury, Weigman hoped to put together a big year under the Aggies' new coaching staff. He struggled in their season-opening loss to Notre Dame and missed time with a shoulder injury. When he came back against then-No. 9 Missouri, he shined in throwing for 276 yards on 18-of-22 passing in a 41-10 victory. But after a slow start against LSU, the Aggies went with backup Marcel Reed for the rest of the season. Weigman has thrown for 2,694 yards, completing 60% of his throws over 15 career games with 21 total touchdowns and eight turnovers. He's eager to prove what he can do at his next stop when he's healthy and playing with confidence. -- Olson
Scout's take: Weigman is very similar to Jackson Arnold in the sense that he just needs a new landscape. He is 9-4 as a starter and has plenty of quality film showcasing his arm talent and accuracy in tight windows to make him highly desirable. Much like Haynes King , Weigman has to prove he can stay healthy for an entire season. He has competitive intangibles that we love and really good timing and rhythm as a passer. -- Luginbill
What he brings to Houston: Here's a smart move for both parties. Weigman gets to play for his hometown team and for coaches who developedMichael Pratt into the AAC Offensive Player of the Year at Tulane and an NFL draft pick. Coach Willie Fritz and his OC Slade Nagle get a talented passer who can help them level up on offense after their young QB Zeon Chriss showed potential but had 10 turnovers over seven starts. -- Olson
79. Devon Dampier , QBTransferring from: New Mexico | Transferring to: Utah Seasons remaining: 2
HT: 5-10 | WT: 198 | Class: Sophomore
Background: Dampier emerged as one of the more electric playmakers in the Group of 5 in 2024 and earned first-team All-Mountain West honors. The former three-star recruit from Phoenix led the conference in total offense with 3,934 yards, including a whopping 1,166 rushing yards (third among FBS QBs) and 19 rushing touchdowns. He put up 390 yards and five TDs against Arizona, led an upset win over then-No. 18 Washington State and finished with a 71.3 QBR (eighth among G5 starters) in his first season as a full-time starter for the 5-7 Lobos. Dampier entered the portal after coach Bronco Mendenhall left for the Utah State job after one season. -- Olson
Scout's take: Dampier was one of the biggest surprise steals in the 2023 class for New Mexico and a hot commodity on the market for his dual-threat traits and creative playmaking. He reminds us of Jayden Daniels as both a runner and thrower. He's the type of player who can pull a rabbit out of a hat and defending his improvisational plays is a nightmare. -- Luginbill
What he brings to Utah: Coach Kyle Whittingham hired New Mexico's offensive coordinator, Jason Beck, so the Utes know exactly what they're getting in Dampier. This is clearly going to be an offense built around Dampier's playmaking ability that should be fun to watch in the Big 12. -- Olson
80. Mi'Quise Humphrey-Grace , DETransferring from: South Dakota | Transferring to: Kentucky Seasons remaining: 2
HT: 6-4 | WT: 255 | Class: Redshirt sophomore
Background: Grace earned Missouri Valley Defensive Player of the Year and FCS All-America honors in 2024 after a remarkably disruptive season in which he racked up 64 tackles, 18.5 TFLs and 9.5 sacks. That production quickly made him a popular target among SEC programs upon entering the portal. -- Olson
What he brings to Kentucky: The Wildcats have done a nice job restocking at edge rusher during this portal cycle, beating out a lot of Power 4 competition for Grace to go along with Kameron Olds (Kent State) and Sam Greene (USC). -- Olson
81. Joe Cotton , OTTransferring from: South Dakota | Transferring to: Cincinnati Seasons remaining: 2
HT: 6-7 | WT: 315 | Class: Redshirt sophomore
Background: Cotton, a two-year starter at left tackle for the Coyotes and a second-team All-Missouri Valley Conference performer, had no shortage of Power 4 opportunities in the spring portal. He was a top-10 returning tackle at the FCS level this season, according to PFF grading, and surrendered just one sack last season on a team that reached the FCS semifinals. Cotton is making the move up after his position coach left for Vanderbilt in February. -- Olson
Scout's take: Cotton flew under the radar out of high school as a tall and physically underdeveloped offensive tackle. Three years later, he's a quintessential left tackle with great length and agility on the edge. He has an excellent first step and strong hand placement to control defenders. As a run blocker he's active in the second level and very athletic in the way he moves. It's a big transition from FCS to P4, but Cotton is gifted with size and athleticism, and should plug and play at the highest level of competition. -- Tucker
What he brings to Cincinnati: This was a massive get for the Bearcats. They've consistently done an impressive job of finding under-the-radar talent and quality starters in the portal, but this is a big splash and one they've been chasing since December while searching for a starter at left tackle. They got Cotton to shut down his process after his first official visit with Wisconsin, Michigan, Texas A&M and several more Power 4 programs fighting to get him on campus. -- Olson
82. Conner Moore , OTTransferring from: Montana State | Transferring to: Michigan State Seasons remaining: 2
HT: 6-5 | WT: 309 | Class: Redshirt sophomore
Background: Moore is coming off an All-America season at Montana State, starting 15 games at left tackle for a Bobcats squad that played for the FCS national title and allowing just one sack, according to Pro Football Focus. The two-year starter also earned FCS Freshman All-America recognition as a redshirt freshman in 2023. He's ready to move up and prove he can compete at the highest level. -- Olson
What he brings to Michigan State: This was a critical recruiting win for the Spartans over Ohio State and Cincinnati. Moore would have been one of the top returning tackles at the FCS level in 2025 and should move right into the starting right tackle spot for a Michigan State line that has brought in four newcomers via the portal this offseason. -- Olson
83. Julian Humphrey , CBTransferring from: Georgia | Transferring to: Texas A&M Seasons remaining: 2
HT: 6-1 | WT: 195 | Class: Redshirt sophomore
Background: Humphrey was the No. 177 overall recruit in the 2022 ESPN 300 and earned consistent playing time for the Bulldogs as a redshirt freshman, but he almost entered the portal until Georgia's staff convinced him to stay. He started Georgia's first 10 games in 2024 and recorded five pass breakups while allowing nine completions for 203 passing yards and two TDs on 24 attempts, according to ESPN Research. After he was benched during the Bulldogs' win over Tennessee, Humphrey decided to leave the program before the season ended. -- Olson
Scout's take: Humphrey would have probably started for most P4 programs given his skill set. He's tall, fast and explosive. He also has good ball skills and playmaker instincts. He knows how to utilize his lengthy frame to press and reroute and win leverage on the contested jump ball, and he's not afraid to come up and tackle. Putting it all together was the issue in Athens, particularly as a coverage defender. -- Tucker
What he brings to Texas A&M: The Houston native is coming home and will give the Aggies a talented corner with SEC experience. Humphrey will bring more competition for the starting corner spots with former transfers Will Lee III and Dezz Ricks . Ricks, a redshirt freshman, allowed the third-most receiving yards (376) in the SEC this season, according to ESPN Research. -- Olson
84. Bear Alexander , DTTransferring from: USC | Transferring to: Oregon Seasons remaining: 2
HT: 6-3 | WT: 315 | Class: Junior
Background: The former No. 56 overall recruit in the 2022 ESPN 300 has always possessed a ton of talent but hasn't consistently played to his potential in one season at Georgia and two at USC. Alexander opted to redshirt and sit out most of the 2024 season after his father was unsatisfied with his role in the Trojans' defense. -- Olson
What he brings to Oregon: If Dan Lanning and the Ducks can bring out Alexander's best effort for an entire season, he'll have an opportunity to be a highly impactful addition for a front that will have to replace Derrick Harmon following his standout season in Eugene. -- Olson
85. Brice Pollock , CBTransferring from: Mississippi State | Transferring to: Texas Tech Seasons remaining: 2
HT: 6-0 | WT: 195 | Class: Sophomore
Background: Pollock earned starts late in his true freshman season and raised his game as a sophomore, recording 10 pass breakups and an interception and allowing zero catches in six of 12 games for the Bulldogs in 2024, according to ESPN Research. -- Olson
What he brings to Texas Tech: Pollock is an instant starter for the Red Raiders and should continue developing into one of the Big 12's best cover men and an NFL draft pick during his time in Lubbock. -- Olson
86. Terrance Carter , TETransferring from: Louisiana | Transferring to: Texas Tech Seasons remaining: 2
HT: 6-2 | WT: 232 | Class: Redshirt sophomore
Background: Carter ranked seventh among FBS tight ends in receiving yards this season and earned first-team All-Sun Belt honors after catching 48 passes for 689 yards and four touchdowns for the Ragin' Cajuns. -- Olson
What he brings to Texas Tech: The Red Raiders got a great year out of another portal addition at tight end inJalin Conyers and are expecting Carter to step right in and be among the best in the Big 12 under new OC Mack Leftwich. -- Olson
87. Khmori House , LBTransferring from: Washington | Transferring to: North Carolina Seasons remaining: 3
HT: 6-0 | WT: 213 | Class: Freshman
Background: The three-star signee from powerhouse St. John Bosco was ready to play right away for the Huskies as a true freshman, recording 35 tackles, four pass breakups and an interception on 303 snaps. He earned five starts during his debut season before electing to move on in the portal. -- Olson
What he brings to North Carolina: House is following defensive coordinator Steve Belichick to Chapel Hill and will team up with Missouri transfer Mikai Gbayor to give the Tar Heels one of the better linebacker combos in the ACC. -- Olson
88. Theran Johnson , CBTransferring from: Northwestern | Transferring to: Oregon Seasons remaining: 1
HT: 5-11 | WT: 182 | Class: Redshirt junior
Background: The former three-star recruit from Indianapolis has been a two-year starter for the Wildcats and is coming off a big year with 53 tackles, 10 pass breakups and 2 interceptions, including an 85-yard pick-six against Iowa. Johnson earned second-team All-Big Ten honors from the league's coaches. -- Olson
What he brings to Oregon: After securing a pledge from Dillon Thieneman, the Ducks have added another proven Big Ten starter to their secondary. They're hoping Johnson can make the kind of impact current starters Jabbar Muhammad , Nikko Reed and Brandon Johnson have after joining the program via the portal. A one-year pickup also helps Oregon develop its youth at this spot with Na'eem Offord, ESPN's No. 1 cornerback recruit, joining this offseason. -- Olson
89. Eric Rivers , WRTransferring from: Florida International | Transferring to: Georgia Tech Seasons remaining: 1
HT: 5-11 | WT: 175 | Class: Redshirt junior
Background: After getting off to a slow start over two seasons at Memphis, Rivers entered the portal and developed into the top receiver in Conference USA this season. He ranks fifth nationally in receiving yards, turning 62 receptions into 1,172 yards and 12 touchdowns, and set a school record with a 295-yard performance against New Mexico State on Oct. 29. Rivers had four more 100-yard games on the season. -- Olson
Scout's take: Rivers is not the biggest, which is why he may have slipped under the radar out of high school but he's plenty quick and elusive. He's a big-play weapon who consistently beats defenders vertically with great acceleration and tempo as a route runner. He's slippery with the ball in his hands but more of a big-catch receiver than a big-play-after-the-catch receiver. One of the best deep threats who was available in the portal. -- Tucker
What he brings to Georgia Tech: Georgia Tech lost its leading receiver to the portal in Eric Singleton but did a nice job replacing him with a highly productive receiver who had significant Power 4 interest. Adding Rivers to the returning trio of Haynes King, Jamal Haynes and Malik Rutherford should be fun to watch next fall. -- Olson
90. Jack Endries , TETransferring from: Cal | Transferring to: Texas Seasons remaining: 2
HT: 6-4 | WT: 240 | Class: Redshirt sophomore
Background: Endries initially joined the Bears as a walk-on and quickly proved he could become a big-time contributor on offense. He earned Freshman All-America recognition in 2023 as a redshirt freshman starter and was the third-leading receiver among ACC tight ends last season, producing a team-high 56 catches for 623 yards and two touchdowns. Endries has turned 55 receptions into first downs over the past two seasons, second among all returning FBS tight ends. -- Olson
Scout's take: Endries is not elite in size or speed, but does run well and has proven to be an active receiving target due to good hands and excellent body control. Endries really adjusts well to the ball, positions himself athletically and reads coverage well. He's a solid blocker, better at walling off and sealing. He was one of the more well-rounded and reliable receivers in the spring portal. -- Tucker
What he brings to Texas: Endries is just what the Longhorns needed in the post-spring portal. Gunnar Helm was extremely productive in coach Steve Sarkisian's offense last season, turning 76 targets into 60 catches, 786 receiving yards, 7 scores and second-team All-SEC honors. The Longhorns have a young, inexperienced tight end room for 2025 and needed a proven veteran. Quarterback Arch Manning should be pleased about this pickup. -- Olson
91. Tanner Koziol , TETransferring from: Wisconsin | Transferring to: Houston Seasons remaining: 1
HT: 6-7 | WT: 237 | Class: Junior
Background: Koziol, one of the most productive returning tight ends in the country, went back on the market after joining the Badgers ahead of 2024. Koziol caught 94 passes in 2023 (fourth in FBS) for Ball State and produced 839 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. The second-team All-MAC performer and former Freshman All-American is a flex tight end and a dependable target who led all FBS tight ends with 22 contested catches in 2024, according to ESPN Research, and turned 44 receptions into first downs. -- Olson
Scout's take: Koziol has a huge frame with a well-rounded skill set. He's a productive pass catcher who takes advantage of his size to shield smaller defenders on jump balls. He's a really good high pointer and that combination of height, hands and leaping ability make him a matchup nightmare. Koziol is also a really effective blocker with strong inside hand placement and finishing power to drive defenders back. -- Tucker
What he brings to Houston: The Cougars were in contention for Koziol back in December when he first entered the portal and got their second chance this spring. This is an exciting pickup for new OC Slade Nagle and transfer QB Conner Weigman who should pair nicely with Tulsa transfer tight end Luke McGary . -- Olson
92. Pat Coogan , CTransferring from: Notre Dame | Transferring to: Indiana Seasons remaining: 1
HT: 6-5 | WT: 310 | Class: Redshirt junior
Background: Coogan started all 13 games for Notre Dame at left guard in 2023, then moved inside and earned 13 starts at center during the program's run to the CFP National Championship game against Ohio State. He surrendered just two sacks over those two seasons, according to ESPN Research, but decided to move on as a grad transfer. -- Olson
What he brings to Indiana: The Hoosiers know exactly what they're getting in Coogan after going up against him in their first-round CFP matchup. He'll step right in for four-year starter Mike Katic at center and help anchor a line that got a big boost via the portal with Kahlil Benson rejoining the program after a year at Colorado and Zen Michalski transferring in from Ohio State. -- Olson
93. Rocco Spindler , OGTransferring from: Notre Dame | Transferring to: Nebraska Seasons remaining: 1
HT: 6-5 | WT: 325 | Class: Redshirt junior
Background: Spindler earned a starting role with the Fighting Irish in 2023 as their right guard and made 10 starts before going down with a season-ending knee injury. He fought hard to recover and regain his spot, starting 13 games for the Irish on their run to the national title game. -- Olson
What he brings to Nebraska: Spindler and Coogan were worth a lot on the open market at the end of their CFP run. For the Huskers, Spindler brings invaluable experience and leadership to a unit that needed to replace two senior starters this offseason. Spindler and Alabama transfer Elijah Pritchett should help solidify that situation and are big assets for a team trying to build around a rising sophomore QB in Dylan Raiola. -- Olson
94. Clev Lubin , OLBTransferring from: Coastal Carolina | Transferring to: Louisville Seasons remaining: 2
HT: 6-3 | WT: 250 | Class: Redshirt sophomore
Background: Coastal Carolina found a real gem from the junior college ranks in Lubin. He spent his freshman season at Army before a stint at Iowa Western Community College, where he racked up 23.5 tackles for loss in 2023 and earned junior college All-America honors. Lubin put together another disruptive year for the Chanticleers in 2024 with 44 tackles, 12 TFLs, 9.5 sacks and 3 forced fumbles while producing the best pressure rate (17.2%) among all Sun Belt defenders, according to ESPN Research. Lubin hit the portal after earning first-team All-Sun Belt recognition. -- Olson
Scout's take: Lubin is an explosive edge rusher and will be one of the more disruptive defenders in this portal cycle. He generates excellent speed to power to beat blockers with strength but can also win with bend and great close at the edge. He has strong, active hands to stay clean and finishes ball carriers with power. He's not the biggest when it comes to anchoring the run but you can't look past his playmaking skills and natural get-off. -- Tucker
What he brings to Louisville: Lubin should be an ideal fit for the "Leo" hybrid end/linebacker spot in the Cardinals' defense and gets a big opportunity to prove he can be a disruptor against Power 4 competition. He could be one of the great steals of Louisville's portal class. -- Olson
95. DeVonta Smith , STransferring from: Alabama | Transferring to: Notre Dame Seasons remaining: 1
HT: 5-11 | WT: 192 | Class: Redshirt junior
Background: Smith waited his turn and finally earned a starting role in his fourth season at Alabama, taking over the starting nickel role and recording 30 tackles, five pass breakups and one forced fumble. The grad transfer saw more playing time on special teams than on defense under former coach Nick Saban but proved he could make an impact with 11 starts in 2024. -- Olson
What he brings to Notre Dame: The Fighting Irish have had excellent luck when it comes to recruiting veteran nickel corners out of the portal withThomas Harper and Jordan Clark . They're counting on Smith to continue that tradition. The Cincinnati native will get to play closer to home for his final season and play for a coaching staff that he knows well dating back to his high school recruitment. -- Olson
96. Bernard Gooden , DTTransferring from: USF | Transferring to: LSU Seasons remaining: 1
HT: 6-1 | WT: 280 | Class: Senior
Background: Gooden doesn't have the career résumé of most of these top transfers, but he put more than enough on tape in 2024 to merit strong demand this spring. Gooden played a rotational role as a redshirt freshman at Wake Forest in 2022 before transferring to USF and sitting out the 2023 season. He achieved his breakout season with the Bulls last year, earning 11 starts and producing 27 pressures, 10 TFLs and 1.5 sacks to garner honorable mention All-AAC recognition. According to ESPN Research, Gooden's 21 interior pressures ranked second among all G5 defensive linemen. -- Olson
Scout's take: Gooden is an undersized La'Roi Glover -type of defensive tackle. He's at his best as a shade or a one technique, disruptive up-the-field penetrator. He's the type of player who can be a handful one-on-one. He's never going to be a true two gap, consistent run-stuffer due to his lack of height and weight, but Gooden can be a problem if you leave him alone on an island. He has strong hands to shed and escape and is active down the line of scrimmage with quickness. One of the better undersized defensive tackles in the portal. -- Luginbill
What he brings to LSU: The Tigers' coaching staff was interested in adding a defensive tackle in the spring portal window if they could find a difference-maker. They moved quickly to land Gooden and have bolstered their competitive depth at that spot by landing him and Texas transfer Sydir Mitchell . If Jacobian Guillory can come back strong from the season-ending torn Achilles he suffered last year, the Tigers should be just fine here with a defensive front that has improved considerably thanks to portal pickups. -- Olson
97. Tre Williams , DTTransferring from: Clemson | Transferring to: Michigan Seasons remaining: 1
HT: 6-2 | WT: 315 | Class: Redshirt senior
Background: Williams played in 44 games over his five seasons at Clemson, but injuries prevented him from breaking through as a full-time starter. He played a career-high 292 snaps for the Tigers' defensive front in 2024 and has recorded 42 tackles and 10 TFLs over his career. He was granted an extra season of eligibility after taking a medical redshirt in 2023 due to a shoulder injury. -- Olson
What he brings to Michigan: If he can stay healthy, Williams could be a sneaky good get for the Wolverines as a veteran presence at defensive tackle for a unit that's trying to replace the production of first-round picks Mason Graham andKenneth Grant in the middle of its front. -- Olson
98. Alex Wollschlaeger , OTTransferring from: Bowling Green | Transferring to: Kentucky Seasons remaining: 1
HT: 6-7 | WT: 305 | Class: Redshirt senior
Background: The massive right tackle started 39 games for the Falcons and developed into a first-team All-MAC selection in 2024. He surrendered two sacks on 401 snaps in pass protection, according to ESPN Research, and has logged more than 2,300 snaps over his five-year career. -- Olson
What he brings to Kentucky: The Wildcats faced some serious competition for Wollschlaeger but got him locked up on an official visit. He'll be a plug-and-play starter who replaces Gerald Mincey at right tackle and makes his new team better as it counts on several transfers to start up front in 2025. -- Olson
99. Kendal Daniels , LBTransferring from: Oklahoma State | Transferring to: Oklahoma Seasons remaining: 1
HT: 6-5 | WT: 239 | Class: Redshirt junior
Background: Daniels, a former ESPN 300 recruit and the highest-rated signee of Oklahoma State's 2021 class, earned Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year honors at safety in 2022 and developed into a three-year starter for the Cowboys. His size makes him a unique piece on defense and Daniels has been productive in a variety of roles, with 240 tackles, 22.5 TFLs, 7.5 sacks, 13 pass breakups and 5 interceptions over his career. -- Olson
What he brings to Oklahoma: Brent Venables and his defensive coaches are going to have a lot of fun with Daniels this fall, and he could play a role similar to the one Isaiah Simmons had under Venables at Clemson. His combination of length, athleticism and experience will give him an opportunity to move around in this defense and shine in multiple spots. -- Olson
100. Gio Lopez , QBTransferring from: South Alabama | Transferring to: North Carolina Seasons remaining: 3
HT: 6-0 | WT: 220 | Class: Redshirt freshman
Background: Lopez emerged as one of the most exciting young quarterbacks at the Group of 5 level in 2024, taking over as the Jaguars' starter and putting together a breakout year with 2,559 passing yards, 463 rushing yards, 25 total touchdowns and 7 turnovers for a 7-6 squad. The talented lefty was a top-25 FBS quarterback in total offense and ranked third in the Sun Belt in QBR (72.7) and yards per attempt (8.2). Lopez was rumored to be considering a transfer in December after receiving serious Power 4 interest, but he ended up waiting until after spring practice to make his move. -- Olson
Scout's take: Lopez is a crafty, riverboat gambler in the mold of Dillon Gabriel . Lopez is not your prototypical drop-back passer, but when he's on and in rhythm, he can distribute the ball and move the chains. He's like a point guard playing quarterback. He's also a fairly dynamic athlete who can create on his own and make plays when the initial call breaks down. He can also be used as a designated runner, which puts a lot of pressure on opposing defenses. There are times he can be streaky and must continue to display consistent accuracy and production, but he's got some moxie. -- Luginbill
What he brings to North Carolina: Lopez to North Carolina was pretty much a done deal as soon as he hit the portal. The Tar Heels were clearly going to be in the market for a QB this spring with few experienced options on the roster beyond Max Johnson , who is rehabbing from a broken leg. New coach Bill Belichick and his staff are trusting the young QB is ready to make the move up and will catch up quickly this summer. Lopez will have to earn it, but he'll be the favorite to win the starting job entering preseason camp. -- Olson
