College football programs have been using the transfer portal to bring in new talent to fill holes and immediate needs, with nearly 3,000 players entering their names into the database since Dec. 5.
We've seen new coaches use the portal to rebuild rosters in the past, with Lincoln Riley adding quarterback Caleb Williams, receiver Mario Williams and other offensive players to bring his high-powered offense to the Trojans last year. This offseason has been no different, with new Colorado coach Deion Sanders adding three players from ESPN's transfer rankings to his roster.
