Eleven College Football Players Enter Transfer Portal Across Multiple Schools

The opening of the spring transfer portal window has prompted a wave of departures from college football programs nationwide. Michigan State saw long snapper Jack Carson-Wentz, defensive back DJ Kennard, and edge rusher Anthony Jones enter the portal, with Jones notably being a key returning defensive lineman. Washington State had seven more players transfer, including running back Josh Joyner and several redshirt freshmen, making a total of 11 Cougars in the portal this spring amid a crowded roster. BYU lost defensive end Nathan Hoke, tight end Nason Coleman, and punter Landon Rehkow, all with eligibility remaining but limited playing time in recent seasons. Mississippi State faced the departure of offensive linemen JaCorey Whitted and Jesse Ramil, quarterback Jake Weir, edge rusher Donterry Russell, and defensive lineman Mason Clinton, with some cited as having significant potential or previous starting experience. These moves reflect ongoing roster reshaping as programs adjust to new talent and changing player ambitions.
