Transfer Portal Frenzy: Record 10,000+ Players Seek New Schools

The college football transfer portal has officially closed, and the numbers are staggering. Over 10,000 players entered the portal this cycle, shattering all previous records and fundamentally changing how programs build their rosters.

Notable moves include quarterback Brendan Sorsby from Cincinnati to Texas Tech, where he'll compete for the starting job immediately. Cam Coleman, the talented wide receiver from Auburn, has landed at Texas to team up with Arch Manning.

"This is the new reality of college football," said ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit. "Roster management has become just as important as recruiting."

LSU has emerged as one of the biggest winners, landing several key transfers including QB Sam Leavitt from Arizona State and offensive tackle Jordan Seaton from Colorado.
