As winter sets in across college football, the transfer portal has become a hot topic among Power Four schools. With teams gearing up for the next season, many programs are looking to fill in key positions, particularly at quarterback. The transfer window has been open for over a week now, and there has already been significant movement in the ranks.
So far, five of the top ten quarterbacks according to 247Sports’ Transfer Rankings have made decisions to commit to new programs. In total, there are already 16 quarterback transfers who have pledged to teams within a power conference. As this exciting period unfolds with bowl practices and the College Football Playoff on the horizon, it’s likely we’ll see even more changes.
The top two quarterbacks, John Mateer from Washington State and Luke Kromenhoek from Florida State, made their decisions later into the transfer window, which adds further intrigue. While some transfers may offer teams the chance to upgrade their quarterback situation, there are also those who might simply be seeking a quick fix.
With the transfer portal still open, it’s essential to evaluate how well each quarterback fits into their new team. Some will likely bring immediate contributions, while others could lead to more competition or depth at the position. As programs continue to build their rosters, every decision made in the transfer portal could impact the next season in a significant way.
With many names continuing to enter the portal daily, fans and teams alike are watching closely to see who finds new homes as the off-season progresses.
