2026 Transfer Portal Activity

Portal churn for every FBS school — volume of transfers in and out, plus net talent quality shift measured by Star² (stars squared).

Source: On3 transfer portal database · 2025–26 portal window.

In:: Number of players who transferred TO this school through the portal.
Out:: Number of players who transferred FROM this school through the portal.
Churn:: Net volume change — transfers In minus transfers Out. Positive (green) means the school added more players than it lost.
Star² In:: Average talent quality of incoming transfers, measured as stars squared (5★ = 25, 4★ = 16, 3★ = 9, 2★ = 4). Squaring amplifies the gap between elite and average recruits more than a simple star average would.
Star² Out:: Average talent quality of outgoing transfers, stars squared. Higher means the school is losing higher-rated players on average.
Star Churn:: Net talent quality shift — Star² In minus Star² Out. Positive (green) means the school upgraded its average talent tier through the portal. Negative (red) means it lost higher-rated players than it gained. This is the primary ranking metric.
