2025-2026 FBS Transfer Portal Tracker

As the Regular Season of College Football Season comes to an end, Highschool Recruits and current College Players alike will make their decision in terms of where they will play Football next year. Of course, this means that several key players will be on the move to new College Destinations for a variety of reasons!

While there will be a countless number of players in the Transfer Portal during the lone Transfer Portal Window, I wanted to hone in the Blue-Chip Recruits (4 and 5 Star Transfer Rated Recruited according to 247sports) specifically this offseason as they’ll be making the most profound impact to both on-field performance as well as recruiting rankings as well!

So for the duration of the Transfer Portal Season, check out the key players below that have entered there names into the Transfer Portal as well as my Predictions.

LAST UPDATE: 19 December 2025, 7 AM EST

December 9th Entries

• Nick Marsh ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4-star per 247Sports)
  • Position: WR/Michigan State
  • Current Favorite: Pitt
  • Other Darkhorse Teams: Penn State, Oklahoma, Oregon
  • Other Potential Options: Kansas, Auburn, and Michigan

Reason: The 1200 Yard Receiver over the past two years has dealt with ineffective offenses and generally below average supporting talent. Pitt on the other hand has Mason Heintschel who really shined once he took over the starting Job, needs a WR1 for 2026, and the Team is a solid squad within the ACC.

UPDATE (12/11): Michigan moves down from Favorite to Other Potential Options due to Sherrone Moore firing.

• Boo Carter ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4-star per 247Sports)
  • Position: DB/Tennessee
  • My Current Favorite: Florida State
  • Other Darkhorse Teams: Jacksonville State and Purdue
  • Other Potential Options: Michigan, Arizona, Temple, South Alabama, USC

Reason: While a Talented Football Player, he now has character concerns which will require his reputation to built back up either through the G5 Ranks or a P4 School that’s in need of talent. With Mike Norvell currently on the hot seat, I think Florida State provides him with an opportunity to prove he’s mature beyond his tenure at Tennessee

• Kenny Minchey ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4-star per 247Sports)
  • Position: QB/Notre Dame
  • My Current Favorites: Tennessee, Vanderbilt, and Indiana
  • Other Darkhorse Teams: Nevada
  • Other Possible Options: USC and Michigan State

Reason: This one feels a little bit more open since Kenny Minchey is likely transferring to garner more playing time now that C.J Carr has established himself as the starting QB over at Notre Dame. As of right now: Tennessee, Vanderbilt, and Indiana will all have new starting Quarterbacks in 2026 with Joey Aguilar and Diego Pavia potentially running out of eligibility plus Fernando Mendoza will likely becoming a first-round pick in the NFL Draft.

• Khmori House ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4-star per 247Sports)
  • Position: LB/North Carolina
  • Current Favorite: Tennessee

Reason: Looks its Tennessee’s guy to lose here. After a disastrous season at North Carolina, Khmori House can both assist in improving the Volunteers Defense in 2026 plus reunite with multiple coaches that he built relationships with during the High School Recruiting Process.

December 11th Entries

• Brody Foley ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4-star per 247Sports)
  • Position: TE/Tulsa
  • My Current Favorite: Auburn
  • Other Darkhorse Teams: Mississippi State, Illinois, Louisville, Notre Dame
  • Other Possible Options: Boise State, Michigan State, USF

Reason: Brody Foley originally committed to Indiana but left because of lack of playing time. Now that he had substantial playing time plus played well with those opportunities? I expect him to get back into the Power Four Ranks. Alex Golesh originally recruited him out of high school and was very close to bringing him when he was on the Tennessee Staff. Now as the Head Coach at Auburn, I think he gets a hard look at the former 4-star recruit.

• Adam Trick ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4-star per 247Sports)
  • Position: EDGE/ Miami (OH)
  • Possible Options: Ohio State, Cincinnati, Notre Dame, Indiana, Purdue, Pitt, Louisville

Reason: First off shout to someone from the High School Alma Mater making some waves! Type of kid out of Highschool that was a fringe FBS/FCS Player but developed into a star for the Miami Redhawks. With one year of eligibility left, this feels the most open out of the notable transfer portal guys right now. He’ll likely go to a Power Four School but I’m thinking he stays relatively close to home and joins a team that is not experiencing a head coaching change.

December 14th Entries

• Edwin Joseph ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4-star per 247Sports)
  • Position: Safety/Florida State
  • My Current Favorite: Miami
  • Other Darkhorse Teams: Illinois
  • Other Possible Options: Auburn, Penn State, Rutgers, Mississippi State, Wisconsin

Reason: We have a guy that’s started the last couple of years and has 4 Career Interceptions to his name. Therefore, The Hollywood, FL is a proven commodity and would likely want to go somewhere that’s playing meaningful games in November and December. Given there’s multiple coaches on the Miami Coaching Staff that recruited him in Highschool, Mario Cristobal has the program humming along the tops of College Football, and it’s close to home? It feels like a no brainer to me.

December 15th Entries

• Perry Thompson ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4-star per 247Sports)
  • Position: WR/Auburn
  • My Current Favorite: Florida
  • Other Darkhorse Teams: Texas A&M and Tennessee

Reason: As of right now, Marcus Davis is expected to join the coaching staff at Florida under new head coach Jon Sumerall. Therefore, I expect to see the Class of 2024 signee to follow him down to Gainesville.

• Malcolm Simmons ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4-star per 247Sports)
  • Position: WR/Auburn
  • My Current Favorite: Florida
  • Other Possible Option: West Georgia

Reason: Pretty similar reason as to Perry Thompson’s Recruitment except not as highly recruited as expected for a former Blue-Chip Prospect. Was also recruited by Marcus Davis who is expected to join Florida.

• Mateen Ibirogba ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4-star per 247Sports)
  • Position: DL/Wake Forest
  • Possible Choices: Maryland, Penn State, Pitt, Virginia Tech, West Virginia

Reason: The former Georgetown Commit burst onto the scene in 2025 with a breakout campaign for Wake Forest. Now with one last year of eligibility, could we see him play closer to home while making an impact at a bigger program? It feels more open than most places.

• Brendan Sorsby ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4-star per 247Sports)
  • Position: QB/Cincinnati
  • My Current Favorite: Texas Tech
  • Other Darkhorse Teams: Baylor and TCU
  • Other Possible Option: LSU and Arkansas

Reason: Brendan Sorsby has done an excellent job over the last couple of years in being the starting Quarterback for the Cincinnati Bearcats. Now, he’ll look to capitalize on the NIL Payments in what would be his final year of eligibility plus it doesn’t hurt that his girlfriend will also be playing for the Texas Tech Volleyball Team

• DJ Lagway ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4-star per 247Sports)
  • Position: QB/Florida
  • My Current Favorite: LSU
  • Other Darkhorse Teams: Kansas and Michigan State
  • Other Possible Option: Texas and USC

Reason: The Former No.1 Recruit of the state of Texas will be looking for a new change in scenery after two turbulent years in Gainesville that also witnessed his head coach being fired. Lane Kiffin has a way of creating insanely strong offenses and Lagway still has a ton of talent but needs a real offensive scheme

December 16th Entries

• Dylan Railoa ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4-star per 247Sports)
  • Position: QB/Nebraska
  • My Current Favorite: Oregon
  • Other Darkhorse Teams: Kentucky
  • Other Possible Option: Georgia, Texas, USC

Reason: Dylan Raiola has spent his last two years being the Day 1 Starting QB for the Nebraska Cornhuskers. As someone that is extremely highly touted and proven to be a capable starter at the P4 Level, I expect him to look hard at Oregon who will likely need a new QB in 2026 and the NIL Funds to bring him into the program.
