Transfer Portal Continues to Reshape Teams Around College Football

While Georgia prepares for a College Football Playoff matchup with Ohio State, teams around the Bulldogs are restocking with the Transfer Portal.

The Transfer Portal is absolutely buzzing around college football. Hundreds of big time players are on the move.

Just this past weekend, last year’s No. 1 recruit Travis Hunter hit the portal after one season at Jackson State. Georgia is rumored to be in the running for his services, but Colorado is the heavy favorite.

New Georgia Tech head coach Brent Key has been busy. The Yellow Jackets landed former Texas A&M quarterback Haynes King on Sunday. King started for Texas A&M at various points over the past couple of seasons, throwing for 1,579 yards and 10 touchdowns. The former 4-star quarterback was the No. 4 dual-threat quarterback in the 2020 class.

Former Minnesota linebacker Braelen Oliver is also headed to Atlanta.

Georgia Tech did lose a quarterback, however. Jeff Simms - Tech’s starting quarterback for the past couple of years - is heading to join Nebraska and their new head coach Matt Rhule.
