One player that each Pac-12 team wishes they didn't lose ahead of the 2023 season

Players leaving for the portal and the NFL Draft is common but it doesn't mean they won't be missed

The college football season feels like forever ago and it has only been a week or so. That doesn't mean that fans aren't thinking about how next season will go for their favorite team, and also means that they still have a long time to sulk about the departure of a key player. 

It happens every season and has especially become more common with the implementation of the transfer portal, players leaving a program after the seasons end. Whether they are leaving to pursue an NFL career, their eligibility has run out, or they have decided to take their talents elsewhere there are a handful of players from every program in the country where the fans, coaches, and players alike wish they didn't lose.

The Pac-12 is a talent rich conference, which means there are a lot of players that have pro opportunities, but it also means there are more players susceptible to being poached. I compiled a list of every Pac-12 school and the player that they wish they didn't lose this off-season.
