The lack of players entering the portal is a testament to the culture Clemson coach Dabo Swinney has created, where the Tigers emphasize the recruitment and development of high school players rather than using the portal to add a transfer and informing a current player to leave.

Who are the most coveted players available this spring? Here are ESPN's rankings of the top talent in the spring transfer portal. The following players have entered the portal or have announced intentions to transfer. Rankings are based on production, experience, potential, demand and feedback from coaches and GMs throughout the sport.

The Buckeyes have, however, already added two more transfers from the portal in North Carolina’s Beau Atkinson and West Virginia’s Justin Terry. Losing just 11 players to the portal in 2025 cuts in half he number Ohio State lost after the 2023 season, when it lost 22 players.
