2026 FCS-To-FBS Football Transfer Portal Tracker

Over 10,000 college football players have entered the transfer portal this offseason. We will try to track all the portal movement across the FCS this offseason as players find new homes ahead of the 2026 season.

Last season, we saw multiple FCS players transfer to FBS programs and make a significant impact. Most notably, North Dakota State running back CharMar Brown has been a key piece for Miami's run to the CFP National Championship game. We also saw NDSU safety Cole Wisniewski become a starter for Texas Tech, which made an unprecedented run to the College Football Playoff.

Former South Dakota State quarterback Mark Gronowski transferred to Iowa, where he set program single-season records for rushing yards (491) and rushing touchdowns (15). Other notbale FCS-to-FBS transfers include Malachi Hosley (Georgia Tech), J'Mari Taylor (Virginia), Joe Cotton (Cincinnati), Griffin Wilde (Northwestern), Ray Coney (Tulsa), and Karon Prunty (Wake Forest).

Unfortunately, the data shows that some FCS-to-FBS transfers don't find the same opportunities at their new programs. According to HERO Sports, 48% of the 2023 FCS All-Conference transfers played less than 300 snaps at their new school.

This tracker will be updated daily. Please refresh the page for the latest version of the table. For the best viewing experience, use a laptop or desktop. On mobile, turn the phone horizontally or scroll right to see the full table.

Below are the FCS-to-FBS transfers ahead of the 2026 college football season.

Please contact Zach McKinnell if you see any missing FCS-to-FBS transfers.
