Transfer Portal Opens With Day 1 Surge as QB Market Takes Center Stage

A compressed two-week January window is driving rapid roster churn.

Overview

  • The portal opened Friday and hundreds of players entered on Day 1.
  • Quarterbacks headline the marketplace as teams look to the portal for immediate starters, with multiple experienced and high-upside passers available.
  • Auburn has lost 30-plus players early in the window, including top non-quarterback prospect wide receiver Cam Coleman.
  • Iowa State is absorbing heavy departures after Matt Campbell’s move to Penn State, leaving new coach Jimmy Rogers with a major rebuild.
  • Defensive targets are drawing attention as well, with Pitt linebacker Rasheem Biles attracting broad interest and Michigan potentially landing Utah transfers under Kyle Whittingham, including defensive end John Henry Daley.
