Thanks to the NCAA’s creation of the transfer portal in 2018, then the organization’s revolutionary 2021 rule change that allowed first-time transfers to be immediately eligible at their new school, the manner in which college football teams are built and sustained has changed dramatically.
The two teams in the 2023 Atlantic Coast Conference football championship game, Florida State and Louisville, were the two teams that were most aggressive in the transfer portal during the 2022-23 cycle. It’s not an exaggeration to say that a majority of the Seminoles’ and Cardinals’ best players in 2023 started their college careers elsewhere.
Meanwhile, of the 12 offensive players honored on the 2023 All-ACC first team, six — exactly half! — were major college transfers: Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis (formerly of Louisville), Louisville running back Jawhar Jordan (Syracuse), Virginia wide receiver Malik Washington (Northwestern), Florida State wide receiver and punt returner Keon Coleman (Michigan State), Florida State guard D’Mitri Emmanuel (Charlotte) and Louisville center Bryan Hudson (Virginia Tech). Interestingly, three of those six standout players were incoming transfers from other ACC programs.
At the quarterback position alone, 11 major college transfers were full-time or part-time starters for ACC teams during the 2023 season, including two each at Pittsburgh and Virginia Tech: NC State’s Brennan Armstrong (formerly of Virginia), Boston College’s Thomas Castellanos (UCF), Virginia Tech’s Kyron Drones (Baylor), Georgia Tech’s Haynes King (Texas A&M), Virginia’s Tony Muskett (Monmouth), Louisville’s Jack Plummer (Purdue and California), Pitt’s Phil Jurkovec (Notre Dame and Boston College), Syracuse’s Garrett Shrader (Mississippi State), FSU’s Travis (Louisville), Pitt’s Christian Veilleux (Penn State) and Virginia Tech’s Grant Wells (Marshall).
The list of ACC teams below includes 2024 newcomers California, Southern Methodist and Stanford because those schools’ incoming transfers will be participating in the league this fall.
At the quarterback position alone, 13 ACC teams have received a commitment from a player with starting experience at another school or schools: Boston College (Grayson James/Florida International), Cal (CJ Harris/Ohio and Chandler Rogers/Louisiana-Monroe and North Texas), Duke (Maalik Murphy/Texas), Florida State (DJ Uiagalelei/Clemson and Oregon State), Louisville (Tyler Shough/Oregon and Texas Tech), Miami (Reese Poffenbarger/Albany and Cam Ward/Washington State and Incarnate Word), North Carolina (Jacolby Criswell/Arkansas and Max Johnson/LSU and Texas A&M), NC State (Grayson McCall/Coastal Carolina), Pittsburgh (Eli Holstein/Alabama), Syracuse (Kyle McCord/Ohio State), Virginia (Gavin Frakes/New Mexico State), Virginia Tech (Collin Schlee/UCLA) and Wake Forest (Hank Bachmeier/Boise State and Louisiana Tech).
Uiagalelei played at Clemson for three seasons before transferring to Oregon State in 2023.
Reminder One: Current NCAA rules allow for two standard transfer windows in football: #1-a 30-day stretch that begins the day after the College Football Playoff teams are selected (meaning Dec. 4, 2023, through Jan. 2, 2024, this time), and #2-a 16-day period that arrives soon after schools’ spring practice schedules are completed (April 15-30, 2024).
Reminder Two: The players below are listed with their class/eligibility during the upcoming (2024) season. Under recently revised NCAA rules, virtually all major college transfers are immediately eligible at their new school.
