Just when it looked like the winter college football transfer portal was winding down, college football's greatest coach retired and sparked a whole new wave of movement.
More than 2,000 players entered the portal in December, including several high-profile quarterbacks and a few former top recruits. Then, following the College Football Playoff National Championship, Alabama coach Nick Saban announced his retirement which, by rule, allowed Crimson Tide players a 30-day window to transfer.
Saban's departure, Bama's hiring of Washington coach Kalen DeBoer and UW's hiring of Arizona coach Jedd Fisch sent players from three highly ranked teams into the portal.
