College Football Transfer Portal Opens Amidst Season-End Mayhem

Significant increase in transfers reshapes the landscape, with quarterbacks leading the charge.

The end of the college football season signals the start of transfer portal mayhem, with players moving between programs. Notable transfers include Max Johnson from Texas A&M to North Carolina, and Will Rogers from Mississippi State.
In the 2023 season, 20.5% of FBS rosters were made up of transfers, a significant increase from just 6.4% in 2019. This reflects the growing popularity of the transfer portal in college football.
The transfer portal window for this offseason opens on Dec. 4, allowing student athletes to enter their name in a database to receive communication from coaches and potentially transfer without penalty.
The transfer portal has had a significant impact on the quarterback position, with 56 FBS teams having a transfer quarterback account for 75% or more of the team's passing yards during the 2023 season.
The transfer portal has changed the landscape of college football, with players such as Michael Turk, Ricky White, Mekhi Wingo, Zach Charbonnet, Anthony Johnson Jr., and Shedeur Sanders making significant impacts at their new schools.
