Quarterbacks on the Move
The quarterback spot always grabs headlines, and this transfer window is no exception. Several QBs are searching for fresh starts and a chance to finally take the field.
Tyler Aronson: From SMU Mustangs
Tyler Aronson, once a three-star recruit, didn’t see the field as a freshman at SMU. He’s hoping a new program helps him develop and maybe even win a starting job.
Aidan Glover: From Missouri Tigers
Aidan Glover also sat out his freshman season, not getting any snaps. The Tennessee native entered the portal back in December, looking for a team that’ll give him a real shot to play.
TJ Finley: A Seasoned Veteran
TJ Finley’s college career has been a journey—LSU, Auburn, Texas State, and Western Kentucky. He’s got one year left and wants to make it count in his sixth season.
Wide Receivers Seeking New Opportunities
This spring, several wide receivers are hoping a change of scenery will let them thrive. Some have already proven themselves, while others want a bigger stage.
Cortez Braham Jr.: From Nevada Wolfpack
After a solid year with Nevada—724 yards, four touchdowns on 56 catches—Cortez Braham Jr. wants to jump back to a Power 4 team. He’s aiming to boost his career and maybe turn some heads.
Zeid Haynes: From Syracuse Orange
Even though Syracuse lost its top three pass-catchers, Zeid Haynes is ready for something new. He first committed to Georgia in 2022, and now he might be eyeing a bigger program again.
Trejan Bridges: From Central Arkansas Bears
Trejan Bridges, once a five-star recruit, is chasing redemption. He played last season at Central Arkansas and now wants to use his last year of eligibility at a bigger school.
Defensive Standouts in the Portal
Defense still matters—a lot. Several defenders in the portal could change the game for whichever team lands them.
Markevious Brown: From Purdue Boilermakers
Markevious Brown played just four games for Purdue last year but still managed nine tackles and three pass deflections. If he’s on his game, he could really help almost any secondary.
Josh Philostin: From Indiana Hoosiers
Josh Philostin, a speedy three-star recruit, didn’t get on the field as a freshman. His quickness makes him an intriguing option for teams needing coverage help.
Al-Ma’hi Ali: From Charlotte 49ers
Al-Ma’hi Ali had his best season in 2024 with 51 tackles, seven pass breakups, and two picks. He’s looking for a new opportunity and could shore up a lot of secondaries.
Offensive Linemen on the Move
A strong offensive line can make or break a season. Several linemen are on the move, hoping to prove themselves with a new squad.
Jakiah Leftwich: From North Carolina Tar Heels
Jakiah Leftwich has four college seasons under his belt—three at Georgia Tech, one at North Carolina. He played six games for the Tar Heels in 2024 and is back in the portal this spring.
Jack Hasz: A Versatile IOL
Jack Hasz, a JUCO transfer, started all 14 games for UNLV in 2023 and picked up All-Mountain West Honorable Mention. He’s settled in at center and entered the portal before his last year of eligibility.
George Silva: From Oregon Ducks
George Silva was once the top JUCO transfer in the country, but his two years at Oregon didn’t go as planned. He only saw 30 snaps as a senior in 2024, but he’s got another year to try to turn things around.
Running Backs in Search of Playing Time
Running backs are also on the hunt for teams where they can actually get the ball and make some noise.
Isaiah Augustave: From Colorado Buffaloes
Isaiah Augustave played a supporting role with Colorado last season and is back in the portal again. He started out at Arkansas as a freshman, so he’s no stranger to moving around.
Cameron Jones: From UCLA Bruins
Cameron Jones has a lot of upside. He didn’t get any snaps as a true freshman at UCLA, but he rushed for over 1,000 yards and 18 touchdowns in his last high school season. That’s nothing to ignore.
Frank Peasant: From Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders
Frank Peasant has one year left after just two games in 2024. For five seasons, he’s been a steady presence at Middle Tennessee, mostly as a complementary back, but maybe he’ll find a bigger role somewhere new.
Conclusion
The college football spring transfer portal is buzzing with activity. The players mentioned above are just a handful of athletes searching for fresh opportunities.
Teams are hunting for ways to boost their rosters, and these transfers might end up making a real difference this season. Want the full rundown of the top 30 available players? Check out the original article on SportsGrid.
