The NCAA transfer portal has closed.
Not really, but midnight Sunday was the deadline for fall and winter sports athletes to notify schools that they were entering the transfer portal (if they wanted to transfer and be immediately eligible next year without obtaining a waiver).
Needless to say, last week was a busy one in the transfer portal, specifically when it came to football players from Utah and Utah State.
The Utes and Aggies combined to have 13 players leave their respective programs, with the hope of continuing their college football careers elsewhere (BYU didn’t have a player enter the transfer portal last week).
There may still be a few more names entered into the portal in the next couple of days.
As reported by ESPN’s Pete Thamel, university compliance administrators have “two business days to enter the names in the portal. So names could still be going in until Tuesday.”
Case in point, on Monday morning Utah defensive end Jonathan ‘Jonny’ Fanaika entered the transfer portal.
Here are all the known in-state FBS players who made the move into the portal since April 23.
