Here are some eye-opening numbers from the Athletic’s Matt Olson about the start of this spring transfer portal window:
By 10:30 a.m. (ET) on Tuesday, 90 scholarship players had entered the portal. The significance? On the opening date of the spring window last year, 90 players entered in total.
The first-day total: 221 FBS scholarship players entered the portal. That breaks down to 105 Power 4 transfers and 116 from the Group of 5.
More than 20 percent of the first-day entries were repeat transfers.
Colorado had nine players enter on Tuesday, including six who had transferred in for Year 1 under Deion Sanders. 👀
The total number of FBS scholarship transfers in this cycle (which began Aug. 1, 2023) has surpassed 2,100. That’s a 25 percent increase from last year’s total at this time.
