College football transfer portal 2025: Live updates, spring tracker, rankings as Nico Iamaleava headlines
Live updates and analysis as the transfer portal opens on Wednesday
The NCAA spring transfer portal cycle for the 2025 college football season officially opens on Wednesday and will remain open through Friday, April 25. Though some players announced their intentions to transfer prior to Wednesday, they cannot officially enter the portal until it opened.
Given that thousands of FBS players enter the portal each cycle and NIL — as well as the upcoming House v. NCAA settlement — has become a differentiating factor in player acquisition, expect to see plenty of movement this offseason in what has become one of the most important periods on the college football calendar.
In addition to the notable transfer players that will be listed below as the process continues over the next month, keep it locked here as CBS Sports and 247Sports cover the transfer portal window from top to bottom with a live tracker, updated rankings and much more.
