Walt Bell Reacts to Jack Tuttle Transferring

Big Ten Football Transfer Portal Breakdown

The college football transfer portal is more prominent than ever this offseason, already surpassing 1,600 entries. Here's a full breakdown of where each Big Ten team stands.

Updated: Saturday, Jan. 7, 2:45 p.m. ET

Since the transfer portal officially opened, over 1,600 players have started to look for a new home. 

Back in August, the NCAA created two transfer portal windows for student-athletes wishing to change schools. The first is a 45-day period, which began on Dec. 5. The second window stretches from May 1 to May 15, allowing players to transfer after spring football practices. These restrictions do not apply to graduate transfers like Indiana quarterback Jack Tuttle, who entered the transfer portal on Oct. 17. 

Here's a full breakdown of the Big Ten transfer portal landscape.
