Tracking the biggest names to enter the college football transfer portal after the 2024 season

Hayes Fawcett Football Anthony Colandrea Antione Jackson Julian Humphrey Kaidon Salter Kevin Concepcion Keyone Jenkins Micah Hudson Miller Moss

Editor’s note: This post has been updated with new information.

The 2024 college football regular season came to an end on Saturday, and that means it’s time to kick off the chaotic cycle that is the transfer portal.

We’ve only had a few years of seeing unlimited transferring within college football, but the portal is only growing in size every year as players look for new opportunities elsewhere, whether it’s due to coaching changes, a lack of playing time or other factors.

The portal has only been open for a few days as things currently stand, and we’ve already seen quite a few big names opt to transfer. More will likely come following the conclusion of conference title games and the College Football Playoff.

With some help from On3, here are the top players who have entered the portal so far. We’ll update this post as more players make their intentions known.
