As the winter chill sets in, college football fans in College Station and beyond are gearing up for an exciting transfer period. The NCAA’s winter transfer portal window officially opened on Monday, allowing nearly 750 FBS scholarship players to enter their names. With this window open until December 28, players are now considering their next moves.
Entering the portal does not mean these athletes are locked into a new school just yet. They have 20 days to decide whether they want to transition to another team or potentially return to their former schools. This gives each player some time to weigh their options and find the best fit for their collegiate career.
Among the notable players who have made headlines by entering the portal are quarterbacks Miller Moss from USC, Jackson Arnold of Oklahoma, and Conner Weigman from Texas A&M. These players rank high on ESPN’s list of transfer signal-callers, and their decisions will certainly impact the upcoming season.
In addition to the quarterbacks, wide receivers are also making their presence felt. Former five-star recruit Micah Hudson from Texas Tech has entered the portal, as has Kevin Concepcion from NC State, who had an impressive season as the ACC’s 2023 rookie of the year.
Defensively, Jehiem Oatis from Alabama is expected to be one of the most sought-after players in the portal, indicating that major changes could be on the way for many college teams.
As we continue to track these developments, it’s evident that the 2025 college football season could see significant shifts depending on who makes moves during this transfer window.
