The spring transfer portal window for college football is imminent, set to open on April 16 and continue through April 25. This opportunity allows undergraduate athletes to enter the portal for the first time since January. While the spring may not match the previous winter outpouring, historically, over one thousand FBS players have entered the portal during this window.

Teams are preparing for the transfer portal as they face roster constrictions ahead of the House v. NCAA settlement, which adds another layer to roster management this spring. Notably, several college programs, particularly those with recent coaching changes, will be more active in the portal.

Expect North Carolina and Miami to play pivotal roles in shaping the transfer landscape as both teams look to fill significant roster gaps and leverage their NIL capabilities.
