College football's transfer portal is now open for the next 15 days. More than 6,000 NCAA football players have entered the portal since the beginning of the 2022 season, including 2,179 last December alone -- the most of any month since the transfer portal was created in fall 2018.
The NCAA enacted two transfer portal windows: a 45-day window that started the day after the four College Football Playoff teams were selected in December and a spring window April 15-30.
The first wave of transfers saw many big names change teams, such as former Clemson quarterback DJ Uiagalelei finding a new home in Oregon State and Cade McNamara, who led Michigan to the 2021-22 CFP, leaving the Wolverines for in-conference Iowa.
