SUMMARY

Another BUSY day of player movement saw the following take place in our tracker:

Entries = 23 (-14 from day prior)
Signings = 149 (+5 from day prior)

Here is a look at the total breakdown from our Portal Tracker: Summary page:

With five days left in the window, we are starting to see the entries slow down a bit, and the signings continue to pick up. We are now at 43% committed to their 2026 schools. As those signings occur, it could push others to enter based on positional depth, so that is something to monitor over the next week. If this keeps up, we are looking at just under 4,000 players moving within the FBS realm. Crazy.

WHAT AM I LOOKING AT HERE?

We are tracking roster talent churn. It’s important to note that this rating and ranking is 1.) portal-only and 2.) total roster talent churn. This means that we are counting every player who is coming and going to come up with this ranking. Later, we will dive into actual impacts by projecting rotational playing time. We had some questions about this and thought it important to describe in more detail.

TOP TEN :::::: view all >

The UCLA Bruins have taken over the top spot, jumping Arizona State yesterday with four signings, including a top punter, two defensive linemen, and an offensive lineman. Wake Forest continues their climb now into the top five. We have two new entrants into our top ten, with Louisville and Arizona making an appearance. Falling out are Minnesota (now #14) and Houston (#19).

We now have 23 of 136 teams in positive talent churn (+4 from a day ago).

BOTTOM TEN :::::: view all >

TRENDS

Top Ten Trending UP:

• Bill Belichick can crew are getting some work done and are the biggest movers of the day. They jump 23 spots up to #57 in the overall talent churn rankings. This is primarily driven by the big pickup of former Buckeye TE Jelani Thurman [16.5]. They also grabbed former Michigan State DB Ade Willie [11.2] and a couple of other role players.

• The Mountaineers of Appalachian State have been moving of late, with head coach Dowell Loggains already feeling the pressure to improve on a 5-win (2-7 SBC record) 2025 season, his first at the helm. He’s hitting the portal hard and move up 22 spots to #51 overall. Look out for WR Chris Lofton [13.6] to make an impact in 2026 after a season at Gardner-Webb that saw him catch 55 passes for 917 yards and four scores in a redshirt freshman break out. They added three other players to the mix as well as the turnover is piling up, but they are beginning to get some difference-makers in Boone, NC.

TOP PLAYER ENTRIES

Notes: YER = Years of Eligibility remaining.
A ‘+’ indicates a potential additional year for a medical hardship waiver for the 2025 season.

1. TE Tony Livingston [16.2], leaving Florida
   Livingston, a junior standing 6-foot-5 and weighing 264 pounds, enters the portal following three seasons in Gainesville. A Tampa native, he originally arrived at Florida as a four-star offensive tackle prospect before successfully transitioning to tight end. During the 2025 season, he appeared in 10 games with five starts, recording 11 receptions for 119 yards and two touchdowns. Over his career with the Gators, he amassed 232 receiving yards and four total touchdowns. He grades out particularly high and if put in the right position, could be a break out star in 2026.

2. DB Brandyn Hillman [14.8], leaving Michigan
   Hillman was a big part of the Michigan secondary during the 2025 season, earning All-Big Ten Honorable Mention honors as a starting safety. The Portsmouth, Virginia native proved to be a physical “thumper” on defense, finishing the year as the team’s fourth-leading tackler with 49 total stops and one interception. Standing 6-foot-0 and 200 pounds, he played 545 defensive snaps and led the Wolverines with a 75.8 coverage grade according to PFF. Hillman, who was originally a highly-touted recruit from Churchland High School, spent three years in Ann Arbor and played in a total of 33 games.

3. RB Steve Chavez-Soto [14.6], leaving San Jose State
   Chavez-Soto is coming off a stellar freshman campaign in 2025 where he flashed significant potential as a lead back for the Spartans. Hailing from Chino, California, the 6-foot-0, 205-pound runner did not play in the first four games but became a focal point of the offense starting in week six. He finished the season with 448 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on 87 carries, averaging a healthy 5.1 yards per attempt. His production was particularly impressive in the second half of games, where his physical running style often wore down opposing defenses. Given his high-level freshman production, he is expected to be a top target for Power Four programs looking for a long-term solution in the backfield.

4. LB Elo Modozie [13.5], leaving Georgia
   Modozie, a 6-foot-4, 250-pound outside linebacker from Saint Augustine, Florida, is entering the portal after a single season in Athens. He previously spent two years at Army, where he was a disruptive edge rusher with 7.5 career sacks before joining the Bulldogs in 2025. While his statistical output at Georgia was modest with eight total tackles, he showed improvement late in the year, posting a season-high three tackles in the Sugar Bowl against Ole Miss. Modozie is noted for his length and explosiveness, physical traits that high-level programs often covet for rotational pass-rush packages. He entered the portal with a “no contact” tag, which typically indicates he has a specific destination already in mind for his final year of eligibility.

5. DL Blake Purchase [13.2], leaving Oregon
   Purchase is a 6-foot-3, 245-pound edge rusher who served as a highly productive situational player for the Ducks during their 2025 campaign. He recorded 32 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, and two sacks this past season, along with an interception. Purchase was also a standout basketball player in high school, which likely contributed to his exceptional fluidity and speed on the field. He leaves Oregon with two years of remaining eligibility after appearing in 15 games last season. Coaches have praised his character and patience, though he now seeks a larger role as a primary starter elsewhere.

6. OL Jacob Strand [13.1], leaving Oregon State
   Strand is a 6-foot-5, 302-pound offensive lineman from Canby, Oregon, who has spent the last four seasons with the Beavers. He enters the portal as a redshirt junior after appearing in various roles along the line, including tackle and tight end during his early high school years. While his 2024 season was cut short by injury, he was highly ranked on Oregon State’s depth chart heading into 2025 and participated in three games during that stretch. His veteran experience and frame make him a valuable target for teams looking to bolster their offensive line depth.

7. RB Christian Clark [12.2], leaving Texas
   Clark, a redshirt freshman from Phoenix, Arizona, is looking for a new home after a year of limited but promising action in Austin. He missed his true freshman season in 2024 due to an Achilles injury but returned to appear in eight games during 2025. He made his first career start in the Citrus Bowl against Michigan, delivering a breakout performance with 105 rushing yards and a touchdown. On the season, he totaled 236 rushing yards and two scores, averaging 4.3 yards per carry. Despite his bowl game success, a crowded Longhorns backfield and new incoming transfers prompted his decision to seek somewhere he can be featured and cash in on his late-season showcase.

8. LB Kamar Mothudi [11.5], leaving Oregon
   Mothudi is a talented 6-foot-3, 245-pound linebacker who was a top-175 overall prospect in the 2024 recruiting class. He redshirted his first year in Eugene and appeared in six games during the 2025 season, primarily in blowout victories. During his limited action this past year, he recorded four total tackles and spent time transitioning from inside to outside linebacker. Though buried on a deep Ducks depth chart, he is still viewed as a bruising, high-upside defender with three years of eligibility remaining. Rumors suggest California could be a potential landing spot, as former Oregon defensive coordinator Tosh Lupoi—who originally recruited him—is now the head coach there.

9. WR Landon Wright [11.5], leaving Washington State
   Wright, a redshirt freshman receiver from Fresno, California, showed flashes of explosive playmaking ability for the Cougars in 2025. Standing 5-foot-11 and 173 pounds, he appeared in 11 games, recording seven catches for 121 yards and two touchdowns. He averaged an impressive 17.3 yards per reception, highlighted by a 39-yard touchdown grab in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl win over Utah State. He put up monster numbers in high school with 1,406 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns during his senior year.

10. OL Delano Townsend [11.4], leaving Ole Miss
    Townsend is a versatile 6-foot-5, 330-pound offensive lineman who served as a starter for the Rebels during their 2025 season. Originally from Flint, Michigan, he began his career at UAB before transferring to Oxford, where he started 13 games and helped the team reach the national semifinals. Known for his strength and size, he specifically stabilized the interior of the Ole Miss line once he took over a starting guard position. He enters the portal with two years of eligibility remaining and is considered one of the most proven offensive linemen available. Intel suggests Michigan and LSU are programs to monitor as potential destinations for the veteran blocker.

  TOP PLAYER SIGNINGS

  Here is a look at the top ten portal entries (by player rating) we saw enter over the last 24 hours:

1. P Jackson Waller [16.6] Signed with: North Carolina State << from Arkansas State
   The former Arkansas State punter brings a strong leg to the Wolfpack, having previously redshirted at SMU in 2024. Standing tall at 6’3” and weighing 206 lbs, he has a good frame for a specialist. In the 2025 season, he punted 59 times for an average of 41.3 yards per attempt, pinning 19 kicks inside the 20-yard line with a season long of 57 yards. He enters NC State following the departure of a veteran punter Caden Noonkester [13.8], so he is expected to become the primary punter in 2026.

2. TE Jelani Thurman [16.5] Signed with: North Carolina << from Ohio State
   Thurman joins North Carolina from Ohio State, looking for more playing time in Chapel Hill. The promising tight end possesses excellent physical attributes, measured at 6’5” and 230 lbs, which suggests significant potential as a red zone threat. His career at Ohio State saw limited action behind a deep tight end room, but could thrive in a new system and plenty of opportunity as Jake Johnson heads to Auburn and the top three are all moving on from the program.

3. DL Jireh Moe [15.8] Signed with: Utah << from San Jose State
   Jireh Moe arrives at Utah to bolster the defensive line after a productive career at San Jose State. The stout lineman is listed at 6’0” and 290 lbs. During the 2025 season with the Spartans, he recorded 48 total tackles (4.5 for loss) and 1.5 sacks. His arrival adds immediate experience and depth to the Utes’ defensive front, where he will likely compete for a starting spot alongside returnees and other potential transfers to reinforce the run defense.

4. RB Hollywood Smothers [15.5] Signed with: Texas << from North Carolina State
   A high-profile transfer, Hollywood Smothers flips his commitment from Alabama to Texas after a solid redshirt freshman campaign at NC State. Smothers is an agile back at 5’11” and 195 lbs. In 2025, he rushed for 349 yards and three touchdowns on 75 carries, also catching 12 passes for 72 yards. He steps into a competitive running back room at Texas, where he will face a significant position battle for carries with established returning players other transfers. He also needs to show he can stay healthy and productive over the course of a full season.

5. DB Taylor Powell [14.4] Signed with: Fresno State << from Northern Illinois
   Defensive back Taylor Powell joins the Fresno State Bulldogs from Northern Illinois, bringing experience to the secondary. He stands at 6’0” and 195 lbs. In the 2025 season, Powell was a key contributor, totaling 38 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and an interception. He will enter a potentially open competition for a starting defensive back position in Fresno.

6. RB L.J. Phillips Jr. [14.4] Signed with: Iowa << from South Dakota
   L.J. Phillips Jr. is set to play for the Iowa Hawkeyes after an impactful stint at FCS South Dakota. The talented running back is listed at 5’11” and 200 lbs. His 2025 season was highly productive, as he rushed for 1,098 yards and 12 touchdowns. He provides a proven, every-down back option for Iowa’s offense and will compete immediately for the starting running back job.

7. DL Brian Allen [14.4] Signed with: Vanderbilt << from Iowa
   Allen is headed to Vandy, aiming to provide veteran leadership on the defensive line. Allen is a big presence, listed at 6’3” and 290 lbs. While his 2025 season stats were modest with 10 tackles, but he brings Power 5 experience on a top Big Ten defense in Iowa City. He will be a valuable addition to the Commodores’ defensive line rotation, providing depth and competing for meaningful playing time.

8. DB Daniel Cobbs [14.3] Signed with: Baylor << from Kansas State
   Baylor strengthens its secondary with the addition of Cobbs from Kansas State. Cobbs is a rangy defensive back at 6’0” and 185 lbs. He was a reliable tackler for the Wildcats in 2025, accumulating 45 total. Cobbs will look to break into the starting lineup and compete with the returning defensive backs on the roster.

9. OL Jaylen Early [14.2] Signed with: North Texas << from Missouri
   Offensive lineman Early committed to North Texas from Missouri, providing interior line depth. Early is a large human being, standing at 6’4” and weighing in at a formidable 320 lbs. He was buried behind Dominick Giudice at Mizzou and primarily plays an interior position. He accumulated just 52 snaps at LG in 2025. He will likely compete for a starting guard or tackle spot on the rebuilt Mean Green’s offensive line.

10. RB Clay Thevenin [14.2] Signed with: Rutgers << from Louisiana Tech
    Rounding out the list is running back Clay Thevenin, who joins Rutgers from Louisiana Tech. Thevenin is a sturdy back at 5’10” and 215 lbs. During his 2025 campaign with the Bulldogs, he rushed for 712 yards and 8 touchdowns. He will immediately enter a competitive running back situation at Rutgers and fight for playing time in a crowded backfield.
