Top available college football transfer portal wide receivers

Top available college football transfer portal wide receivers.

We have been keeping a close eye on the transfer portal and although it seems most of the transfer flurry has passed by, we are expecting more names to be added into the mix after spring ball. Hopefully, we don’t see any Ohio State guys add their name to the portal, but the reality of college football in 2022 shows it to be more likely than not.

The Buckeyes have added two transfers and both were to the defensive side of the ball, but it wouldn’t be crazy to see Ohio State add some offensive pieces if it can figure out the scholarship numbers game. While it’s unlikely with what OSU has coming back in young talent at the position, with the departure of Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson the Buckeyes do you ever say no to top-end talent on the perimeter? The following are the top five available wide receivers within the transfer portal.

Could USC’s former 5-star WR Bru McCoy be a target for Oregon Ducks in transfer portal?

The former 5-star WR from USC has entered the transfer portal, and it could make sense for the Oregon Ducks to reach out.

One of the more talented players on the USC Trojans roster has entered the transfer portal, with wide receiver Bru McCoy announcing his decision to look for a new home on Thursday afternoon.

This should be an interesting player to note for fans of the Oregon Ducks, since the team is currently looking for more depth at the WR position, and McCoy once considered coming to Eugene out of high school.

Though his college stats don’t show the high ceiling that many think McCoy has, his career accolades certainly offer promise. As a star receiver and linebacker at Mater Dei High School, McCoy was eventually named the MaxPreps National Player of the Year, and also won the U.S. Army Player of the Year Award.

McCoy committed to the Trojans as the No. 9 player in the 2019 recruiting class, but wouldn’t make his college debut until the 2020 season where he caught 21 passes for 236 yards and two touchdowns.

McCoy missed the 2021 season after being suspended for a domestic violence issue, though all charges were eventually dropped.

Oregon head coach Dan Lanning said on Thursday his top priority at the moment is recruiting his own players and keeping them around for the future. However, extending a line of communication to McCoy could pay huge dividends for the Ducks in the future.

What happened to Texas’ 2019 recruiting class?

This is…NOT GREAT, BOB!

While Texas has been struggling for over a decade, the most recent issues could very well be attributed to the 2019 recruiting class.

Success is not determined by one recruiting cycle. However, former head coach Tom Herman and his staff seemed like they couldn’t keep a cactus alive, let alone develop and maximize a class full of heralded recruits at the time, but having a class of 26 players turn into practically nothing is definitely a contributor to the program’s lack of success recently.

Quarterback Sam Ehlinger was only able to do so much during his time as a Longhorn, and it probably wasn’t until after he left that Texas fans realized how much his heroics were masking a team that was running thin at every position.

The 2019 class, which at the time was expected to be Herman’s best class as it was ranked No. 3 in the nation, quickly evaporated. It has now left Steve Sarkisian in a situation where he needs to really hit on his first class in order to make up for the mistakes of the prior regime.

Of the 26 enrollees, 12 of them have left or plan on transferring, three had medical issues that prevented them from ever seeing the field, and four of them do not contribute. This means that of the 26, 18 players from the class are not contributing in what should be their junior season.

Here is the status of all of the players from Texas’ 2019 recruiting class.
