They’re the dangerous disruptive forces who can change games, and some schools – like Oklahoma – are about to get an instant jolt. The defensive ends and edge rushers are terrific, with a slew of players who might not be household names about to become stars on a national scale.

Former LSU wide receiver announces transfer destination

Jack Bech will be heading to the Big 12 to join TCU.

Former LSU reciever [autotag]Jack Bech[/autotag] has found a new home. He’s headed to Fort Worth, Texas, to play for the TCU Horned Frogs.

The Horned Frogs have made a splash in the transfer portal as they have recently received a commitment from former Alabama receiver JoJo Earle. Bech spent two seasons on the Bayou and played in 25 games, making 11 starts and finishing his Tiger career with 59 receptions for 689 yards and four touchdowns.

His best game this season was against New Mexico where he had six receptions for 43 yards. Bech is sure to get a lot of looks in a high-profile TCU offense that likes to spread the ball all over the field.

LSU will look to add some receivers in the signing class or try to sign a bunch of guys from the transfer portal.

Transfer portal notebook: stories to follow as the portal opens for business

The Texas A&M exodus under Jimbo Fisher. Oregon exits noted by @Ducks_Wire. Kedon Slovis in the portal. Here are some of the bigger early stories to follow.

There is a lot to keep track of now that the college football regular season (except for the Army-Navy Game) is over. The doors to the transfer portal have swung wide open. Business is booming and rosters are about to be dramatically reshaped. USC benefited from the portal as much as any program in the country in 2022, and Lincoln Riley has made no secret of the fact that he intends to continue to restock his roster with portal reinforcements.

As seasons come to an end, and as coaches switch schools, players are on the move and will continue to enter the portal. With all of these moving parts on display, there’s a ton to keep tabs on. Here are just some of the stories worth noting as the transfer portal officially opens in college football:

National Transfer Tracker: notable names as the football portal gains over 1,000 players

The transfer portal is filling up. Keep track of notable prospects every week. A new name in the portal: Arizona State QB Emory Jones.

Hello! It’s transfer portal season for the 2022-2023 college football offseason.

The new transfer portal window officially opens Monday, and that hasn’t stopped players from announcing their plans to leave their schools ahead of the first day they can enter the portal. We saw a lot of transfer announcements over the weekend, which means it’s time to give you our national transfer tracker. This isn’t a list of players who have decided to transfer to USC, though you can be assured that Lincoln Riley has his eye on a lot of prospects. It’s simply a partial list of players who have already stated their intent to leave their current school and play elsewhere.

Last year, more than 3,000 FBS players entered the portal, which was open year-round. Quarterbacks Caleb Williams (USC), Quinn Ewers (Texas), Bo Nix(Oregon), and Spencer Rattler (South Carolina) were among the prominent transfers who made an immediate impact at their new schools.

Here’s an early look at the transfers on the open market:

DI transformation committee suggests changes to transfer portal

Changes could be on the way for the transfer portal

The transfer portal has been deemed the Wild West of collegiate sports. Coaches ride a fine line regarding tampering with opposing players, a source of contention between coaches (see USC’s Lincoln Riley and Pittsburgh’s Pat Narduzzi).

On Thursday the Division I transformational committee suggested numerous changes to the transfer portal, which are designed, in their view, “to stabilize the transfer environment, require additional accountability for schools that receive transfer student-athletes and provide student-athletes with a window of time to enter the transfer portal each year in order to be eligible to compete in the following year.”

The changes make sense on multiple fronts. Numerous student-athletes have entered the portal only to not get re-recruited by other schools. Obviously tampering has been an issue as well.

With any proposed rules, there will be time to work out the kinks of the recommendations. This is a great recommendation by the committee and not a wait-and-see approach to guidelines for the transfer portal.
