Record-Breaking Entries in College Football Transfer Portal
Michigan and Georgia Bulldogs Prepare for Active Transfer Window Amidst High-Profile Quarterback Moves
- Day 1 of the winter transfer portal window saw a record-breaking number of roster attrition for teams throughout the sport, with a total of 532 FBS scholarship players entering the portal, a 16 percent increase from last year.
- Michigan football is preparing for a more active transfer window as it stands to lose key players at virtually every position, with a focus on defensive back, offensive line, defensive line/edge, wide receiver, and quarterback positions.
- Georgia Bulldogs are also expected to be more active in the transfer portal this year, targeting four positions in particular: receiver, defensive line, edge rusher, and running back.
- Several high-profile quarterbacks, including Ohio State's Kyle McCord, Oklahoma's Dillon Gabriel, and Georgia's Brock Vandagriff, have entered the transfer portal, shaking up the quarterback market.
- Despite the high number of entries, there are no immediate winners as the recruitments are just getting started and the process of sorting through hundreds of players in a matter of hours is not easy.
