Georgia Tech transfer Eric Singleton Jr. was arguably Auburn’s biggest signing of the winter window, ranking as the top receiver in the portal, according to On3 and 247Sports. He and Wake Forest transfer Horatio Fields were the two receivers Auburn signed, with both coming off quality seasons in the ACC.

John Mateer, Darian Mensah, Eric Singleton Jr. and Fernando Mendoza are among the best players who have entered the transfer portal. Here are our rankings.

By the time the portal window closed for the Badgers on Dec. 28, 23 scholarship players and two walk-ons entered the portal.

LSU, Texas and Ole Miss are among the programs leading the 247Sports team rankings for portal commits. Tigers coach Brian Kelly urged boosters and LSU supporters after the season to help the cause in 2025 and has said he'll match any individual donation up to $1 million.

NCAA President Charlie Baker says there's plenty of time to figure out the best window for the transfer portal.

Student-athletes can enter their names into the transfer portal during two different periods for the 2024-25 academic year. The first took place in early December and the second in late April.

While it's not uncommon for a player from a Group of Five or FCS program to have aspirations of transferring to a larger program, it is pretty rare for a player to openly admit that is their goal. Ford will join the Warhawks as the highest-ranked running back recruit in program history, picking them over Louisiana Tech, Memphis, and Minnesota.

FBS coaches voted to move the transfer window to Jan. 2 through Jan. 12 starting in the 2025-26 academic year. The move would wipe out the current portal windows in December and April and potentially provide a boost to teams competing in the college football playoff and the lesser bowl games.
