12) DL Mateen Ibirogba, Wake Forest
Mateen Ibirogba enters the transfer portal after a breakout season at Wake Forest. The defensive lineman totaled 21 tackles, two sacks, and a forced fumble, proving to be a disruptor in the Demon Deacons' defensive line in limited opportunities. Expect Ibirogba to be a considerable addition wherever he lands.
1) WR Danny Scudero, San Jose State
Danny Scudero announced his intention to enter the transfer portal over the weekend, becoming one of the top offensive weapons available in the cycle. The shifty pass catcher reeled in 88 receptions for 1,291 yards and 10 touchdowns this past season as a focal piece of the San Jose State offense. Expect Scudero to have an abundance of suitors when the portal officially opens.

2) WR Malcolm Simmons, Auburn
Malcolm Simmons initially committed to Auburn out of high school as a top recruit. In two seasons with the Tigers, the Alabama native has racked up 908 receiving yards and five touchdowns, showing flashes of his ability to be a dynamic offensive weapon. Looking for a fresh start that allows him to find a sizable role in a new system, Simmons heads to the portal.
3) QB Braden Atkinson, Mercer
Braden Atkinson put himself on the map this past year, emerging as a bright spot for Mercer. The freshman quarterback proved to be a reliable game manager, throwing for 3,611 passing yards, 34 touchdowns, and only 11 interceptions for the Bears. Looking to capitalize on his strong season, the Mercer star enters the transfer portal.
4) RB Kaleb Jackson, LSU
Kaleb Jackson spent the last three seasons at LSU, where he committed to the Tigers as a hometown recruit out of high school. The Baton Rouge native showed flashes of his vision from the backfield in his limited role. Despite that, the running back has opted to seek a larger role elsewhere and intends to enter the transfer portal to do so.
5) LB Carson Sloan, Samford
Carson Sloan is another freshman who put his name on the map in year one of their college career. The six-foot-two linebacker totaled 83 tackles, five pass defenses, and a forced fumble, leading the Bulldogs' defense this past season. Keep an eye on the versatile linebacker, who should find a home quickly in the transfer portal when the cycle officially opens.
6) OL DeAndre Carter, Auburn
DeAndre Carter adds his name to the transfer portal, joining a stout list of available offensive linemen in the transfer portal. The Auburn transfer will be a name to monitor throughout the portal cycle, as he'll become a top target for teams looking to bolster the trenches ahead of next season.
7) CB Dyson McCutcheon, Washington
Dyson McCutcheon has spent the last three seasons at Washington, where he's struggled to carve out a sizable role in the Huskies defense. The undersized corner has the intangibles to be a reliable defender, but with limited opportunities, he's yet to prove it. Keep an eye on the corner throughout the portal process.
8) WR Davion Dozier, Appalachian State
Davion Dozier spent the first two seasons at Arkansas before transferring to App State before the 2025 season. In his lone season with the Mountaineers, the six-foot-four pass catcher reeled in 20 receptions for 448 yards and five touchdowns. Hoping to use his bounce-back season as a chance to land a larger role elsewhere, Dozier enters the portal.
9) OL Zerian Hudson, Troy
Zerian Hudson is another offensive lineman to announce his intention to enter the transfer portal. The Troy transfer showed flashes of his versatility on the line, and after an impressive stint with the Trojans, Hudson heads to the portal.
10) WR Prince Strachan, USC
Prince Strachan spent the first two seasons at Boise State, where he showed flashes of his playmaking ability. Hoping a fresh start would allow him to prove how dynamic he could be in a better system, the six-foot-five receiver transferred to USC ahead of the 2025 season. Unfortunately, Strachan quickly found out the grass isn't always greener, finding himself finishing the year with only one catch in a Trojans jersey. Now, he heads back to the portal.
11) WR Victor Snow, Buffalo
Victor Snow began his college career at Nevada before transferring to Buffalo after his freshman season. It took three years for the shifty receiver to break out. Still, after posting career highs across the board this season, totaling 815 receiving yards and 10 total touchdowns, the New York native looks to use his strong season to find a sizable role elsewhere.
12) DL Mateen Ibirogba, Wake Forest
Mateen Ibirogba enters the transfer portal after a breakout season at Wake Forest. The defensive lineman totaled 21 tackles, two sacks, and a forced fumble, proving to be a disruptor in the Demon Deacons' defensive line in limited opportunities. Expect Ibirogba to be a considerable addition wherever he lands.
