Transfer Portal Deadline for Fall, Winter Sports Draws Near

Time is ticking for prospective student-athletes to submit their name into the transfer portal and retain eligibility for upcoming the 2022-23 season.

Fall and winter sports college athletes who want to play for a different school next year must enter their name into the transfer portal by Sunday, May 1. Athletes that wait until after the deadline to hop into the portal will be ineligible to play next season. The portal resets August 1.

Of course, there are exceptions to every rule. Last summer Joey Gatewood jumped into the transfer portal once it was clear that Will Levis would be Kentucky’s starting quarterback.
