Overview
- The lone winter transfer window runs Jan. 2–16 after the NCAA eliminated the spring period and adjusted coaching-change rules.
- Agents and team sources describe the cycle as already active, with portal boards set and “deals being struck” before the window opens.
- Arizona State quarterback Sam Leavitt is widely reported to be preparing to move after skipping the team banquet, with coach Kenny Dillingham wishing him well in whatever comes next.
- Reported quarterback entrants once the portal opens include Kenny Minchey (Notre Dame), Trey Owens (Texas), Tayven Jackson (UCF), Dylan Lonergan (Boston College) and Max Johnson (North Carolina, seeking a seventh year).
- CBS Sports reports Nebraska is bracing for the possibility that Dylan Raiola tests the portal as programs reassess plans following a sweeping coaching carousel.
