UNLV’s Anthony Colandrea Will Re-Enter Transfer Portal as Power Four Suitors Line Up

The Mountain West Player of the Year’s availability is set to accelerate quarterback plans for programs eyeing plug‑and‑play options in the Jan. 2–16 window.

Overview

  • Colandrea told ESPN he will enter the NCAA transfer portal when it opens Jan. 2, marking a second straight offseason move as he approaches his final year of eligibility.
  • The junior posted 3,459 passing yards, 649 rushing yards and 33 total touchdowns in 2025, earning Mountain West Player of the Year and guiding UNLV to 10 wins.
  • His decision follows UNLV’s 17–10 Frisco Bowl loss to Ohio and contrasts with his pre‑bowl comments in which he said he planned to remain with the Rebels.
  • He will be represented by agents Noah Reisenfeld and Adie von Gontard of Young Money APAA Sports.
  • On3 and multiple outlets report he is expected to draw significant Power Four interest, with Florida State and Tennessee cited as programs to watch during the January portal window.
