Spring practice is underway across the country, and the transfer portal has once again reshaped rosters. Here are five transfers who are poised to make an immediate impact at their new schools.
1. Quinn Ewers, QB – Ohio State to Florida
After leading Ohio State to a national championship, Ewers transferred to Florida seeking a fresh start in the SEC. His arm talent and big-game experience make him an instant upgrade for the Gators offense.
2. Travis Hunter, WR/CB – Colorado (Draft)
While Hunter declared for the NFL Draft, his impact on the portal cannot be overstated. Colorado brought in five high-profile transfers to replace his production on both sides of the ball.
3. Arch Manning Takes Over at Texas
Technically not a transfer, but Arch Manning stepping into the starting role at Texas is the biggest storyline of the spring. Early reports from practice suggest the Manning heir is ready for the spotlight.
4. Cam Ward, QB – Miami to LSU
After a Heisman-caliber season at Miami, Ward heads to Baton Rouge. His deep ball ability paired with LSU elite receivers could create the most explosive offense in college football.
5. Tetairoa McMillan, WR – Arizona to Alabama
The 6-5 receiver is a matchup nightmare and gives Alabama new head coach a dynamic playmaker to build around. McMillan had over 1,300 yards and 10 touchdowns last season at Arizona.
