Transfer portal

Ranked by last season’s production. There are no recruiting ratings on this site and none are invented. A quarterback’s yards and a receiver’s are not the same thing, so the board below ranks each player on his percentile within his own position among everyone who played it, and every row prints the line it was ranked on.

A move is proven by two rosters. A player is here when last season’s game logs put him on one FBS team and this season’s roster puts him on another. That is evidence rather than a report of a portal entry — so a player who did not play last season cannot be shown to have moved, and is absent rather than listed as an unverified transfer.

The board below is offense. The roster source behind it covers quarterbacks, running backs, receivers and tight ends and has no linemen and no defense. Defensive moves are established a different way and live in their own section further down; offensive linemen appear nowhere, because nothing here records what they did.

Totals are regular season. Derived by joining each game log to the 2025 schedule by game id and dropping the postseason, which is what makes these numbers the same ones the leaders page prints.

How old this is. Last updated: the roster file 2026-08-30; the published two-deeps 2026-08-29; the 2025 leaders 2026-08-25. Those are the source files’ own stamps. The date in the footer is the schedule pipeline’s and is not this.

By position: QB · RB · WR · TE

Established differently, and worth saying so. The roster file behind the board above has no defense in it. A defensive move here is one where last season’s leaders name a player for one team, this season’s defensive two-deep puts him on exactly one other, that chart flags him as a transfer, and no second school named a leader by the same name — four conditions, from two independent sources. The last two exist because names collide: without them San Diego State’s interception leader was published as a Clemson running back who shares his name.

The flag alone would be useless: it is set on 5,303 of 10,539 players because it means “has transferred at some point”. Measured against moves the game logs already prove, it catches 35 of 35 real movers — and 25 of 67 players who did not move. So it filters, and never decides.

These are ranked within their own category, not against the offensive board: a player is only here because he was one of his team’s top three, so the pool is different and the two percentiles are not the same measurement. A player who led two categories is on two boards below; the 193 in the line at the top of the page counts him once. Tackles · Sacks · Interceptions

These players led their team in a passing, rushing or receiving category last season and appear on neither this season’s roster file nor any published two-deep (9,542 names checked). 156 of them are on an NFL roster and are named as such; matching is on name and the college the NFL lists for them, so a shared name with the wrong school is left unresolved rather than guessed at. The rest could be in the FCS, out of football, or anywhere — this site does not know.
