A year ago, Michigan State University’s Mel Tucker coach responded to the 2-5 campaign by making a big bet on the transfer portal. Suddenly, Spartan was 11-2, the Peach Bowl champion, a model for all programs, and expected immediate sales.
After a turbulent off-season, 36 FBS programs added more than 10 transfers to rebuild the roster. Five of the top eight in such classes included new coaches trying to add their own spin to the program. However, due to the large number of quality FBS contributors, the program may change by the fall.
This is five college football programs ready to rise, from national candidates to coaching staff who need only a few breaks, thanks to the 2022 transfer portal.
Notable additions: QB Caleb Williams (Oklahoma), WR Jordan Addison (Pit), RB Travis Die (Oregon), LB Eric Gentry (Arizona), CB Meki Blackmon (Colorado)
If in doubt, USC is not interested in waiting for the College Football Playoff after stealing Lincoln Riley from Oklahoma. The Trojan was involved in 19 transfers (4 more than any other program), including 2 of the top 4 players in the class.
Quarterback Caleb Williams was after following Riley from Oklahoma, but Billetnikov-winning receiver Jordan Addison was talked about after joining the Trojan horse last week. This combination quickly matches one of the best QB-WR combos in college football, CJ Stroud and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Moreover, don’t assume Riley downplayed defense. Eleven defenders are coming to Los Angeles via the transfer portal.
The USC roster was already undervalued after it collapsed following Clay Helton’s firing. With the influx of talent towards the Heritage Hall, Trojans expect to challenge the Pac-12 soon.
Notable additions: QB Jaxson Dart (Ole Miss), RB Zach Evans (TCU), EDGE Jared Ivey (Georgia Tech), TE Michael Trigg (USC)
The rebels ranked second in the 247Sports transfer ranking after involving nine prospects rated above four-star transfer recruits, followed only by Alabama and Texas in average recruitment ratings. increase. Dart is the group’s headliner, third-placed rookie, and a good successor to the NFL Draft’s Pickmat Corral.
In addition, the rebels emphasized skill talent to provide dirt weapons. Running back Ulysses Bentley IV and Evans played on both sides of the Iron Skillet battle. Receivers Malik Heath, Jaron Robinson and Jordan Watkins are proven products.
In 2021, Oremis won 10 regular season games for the first time in the history of the program. The rebels have years of transition with so many new faces, but Lane Kiffin is ready for Oremis to compete.
Notable additions: QB Casey Thompson (Texas), QB Chuva Paddy (Florida), DL Stephenwin (Alabama), DE Ochaun Matisse (TCU)
The Cornhusks have gone through the portal in large numbers, added 14 transfers, and are potentially on the horizon. Nine of the transfers were from Power Five agencies, including a pair of defenders from Alabama over the past few days.
Nebraska became heavier on the offensive side after inconsistent units sacrificed numerous one-score games during the shocking 2021 campaign. Thompson needs to be work-centric, but FSU transfer Chuva Paddy gives Nebraska a long-term choice. Receivers Trey Palmer and Isaiah Garcia-Castaneda are working with Omar Manning to give the look a new look.
The Cornhuskers have consistently struggled to create the speed and separation needed to play Scott Frost’s spread system. Between the transfer and the new attack coordinator Mark Whipple, Nebraska is ready to take part in a competitive game.
4. Texas Longhorns
Notable additions: QB Quinn Ewers (Ohio), WR Agiye Hall (Alabama), WR Isaiah Neyor (Wyoming), CB Ryan Watts (Ohio), TE Jahleel Billingsley (Alabama)
The Longhorns added only five transfers, but few teams rely on the new additions like Texas. Ewers was the first perfect 1.000 quarterback rookie since Vince Young and quickly changed the mood of the program that took place on 5-7 in 2021.
Texas coach Steve Sarkian strengthened his skill group after defending 1,000 yards of Rasher Bijan Robinson and nearly 1,000 yards of receiver Xavier Worthy in 2021. Alabama in 2022.
If Texas can make progress in defense and attack lines (neither is a guarantee), the Longhorns could emerge as a Big 12 favorite. However, all transfers should be hit.
Notable additions: QB Spencer Rattler (Oklahoma), S Devony Reed (Central Michigan), WR Antoine Wells (James Madison), TE Austin Stoner (Oklahoma)
Gamecocks even surprised themselves in 2021 by turning a depleted roster and quarterback carousel into a promising 7-6 campaign. Timely catching Florida and Auburn times played an important role, but South Carolina coach Shane Beamer used his shocking success to turn the real roster into a success.
Ratler was estimated to be number one in the 2022 NFL draft towards last season before the turbulent Oklahoma season undermined his value. Ratler still boasts perhaps the best overall arm talent in college football and needs to offer incredible upgrades. Beamer successfully surrounded him with targets by adding James Madison’s 1,200-yard Receiver Wells and Arkansas’ 800-yard Receiver Corey Lacquer.
SEC East goes one step further with Tennessee and Kentucky preparing for a special season, but as Beamer continues to grow, South Carolina will take a step towards the top of the league. I can. It is an understatement to call it a transformation of the gamecock’s aggressive talent.
