Overview
- The NCAA's only general transfer window runs Jan. 2–16, with a Jan. 20–24 extension only for national finalists.
- A first-week influx of 4,760 Division I entrants has accelerated decisions as more than half of 247Sports’ top 50 have already committed or signed.
- Arizona State quarterback Sam Leavitt is the top available prospect, visiting LSU and Tennessee with Miami expected next as Lane Kiffin prioritizes him.
- Penn State leads 247Sports’ transfer rankings under new coach Matt Campbell with about 30 commitments as programs rush to complete portal classes.
- Movement at the top continues, with Tennessee landing edge rusher Chaz Coleman, other blue‑chip talents visiting Texas, Alabama, Ohio State and Georgia, and Missouri’s Damon Wilson II contending with a Georgia lawsuit over a disputed NIL clause.
