The college football Transfer Portal has officially opened.
Since the inception of the NCAA Transfer Portal in 2018, thousands of student-athletes across every sport have entered in hopes of finding a better opportunity for themselves. It is certainly no different in college football, where teams can quickly see their roster depleted, rebuilt, or in many cases both.
