Since the end of the 2024 football season, San Diego State has lost nearly 30 players to the college football transfer portal. They lost 19 players to the portal directly following the season, with 11 more having entered during the recent spring transfer window that opened following the completion of spring practice.

Linebacker Brady Anderson, a senior from Bakersfield, and receiver Jordan Napier, a sophomore from Fontana, both entered the transfer portal in December before announcing their returns to the Aztecs several weeks later.

In recent weeks, San Diego State has added offensive linemen Michael Watkins (Washington) and Kalan Ellis (Syracuse). They’ve also added two defensive linemen in Kainoa Davis (Charlotte) and August Salvati (Florida Atlantic). They’ve added to the skill position group as well, adding defensive back Hunter Haines (Washington State) and receiver Donovan Brown (Monroe). After losing three quarterbacks to the transfer portal following the season, San Diego State has added to the quarterback room by bringing in veterans Jayden Denegal (Michigan) and Bert Emanuel Jr. (Central Michigan).
