The inaugural transfer portal spring window opened for college football players on April 15 last year. On that date, only 90 FBS scholarship players put their names in the portal. Those were simpler times. On Tuesday, and 90 scholarship players were already in the portal by 10:30 a.m. ET. By the end of the day, more than 200 had entered the portal to kick off this 14-day period for underclassman transfers. Here’s what we learned from Day 1.
It might be too early to call the Hurricanes the frontrunner, but they’re in great shape. They have exciting offensive talent in Cam Ward, and but a clear need at running back. Mark Fletcher and missed spring practice due to injuries, is in the portal and TreVonte’ Citizen reportedly plans to transfer as well. Advertisement Parrish is expected to return to Ole Miss and help answer the need at this spot. Mississippi State secured a pledge from Miami transfer over the weekend.
