From Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter to Sam Hartman and Sam Huard, check out Boardroom’s curated list of commitments from the NCAA football transfer portal for 2023.
We dispelled the notion last year that the NCAA football transfer portal might literally be some manner of stargate or dimensional warp nexus or whimsical doohickey invented by Cave Johnson. While that would be incredibly cool, we’re all now wise enough to understand that it’s really just an online database created back in 2018 to ensure maximum transparency and compliance for athletes hoping to leap from one NCAA institution to another.
So, which gridiron grinders have used the portal to engineer a fresh start at a new program ahead of the next academic year?
Since not everyone will be able to play for Coach Prime at Colorado this year — pro tip, it helps if you’re his son — Boardroom is keeping a running, curated list of the biggest talents emerging from the 2023 college football transfer portal.
Join the fun below — and remember, when life gives you lemons, invent a combustible lemon capable of burning your opponents’ houses down.*
