What is the story about?
It’s officially Player Movement SZN, otherwise known as the opening of the NCAA Transfer Portal.
The latest change to the ever-evolving transfer market in college football has been the move to a single, 15-day window in which players can enter the portal and interested teams can make contact. That portal runs from Jan. 2-16, with no additional portal in the spring like in years past.
Below is all the roster activity for the Wildcats, both incoming and outgoing. This tracker will be regularly updated
with new additions and substractions:
