So, get this, the transfer portal cranked open its virtual gates on Wednesday, and yeah, chaos ensued. I mean, all sorts of football action went down by day nine of the 2025 spring transfer window—it’s like trying to keep track of cats in a room full of rocking chairs. Just everywhere.
First off, we gotta talk about Ny Carr. The dude was out, then swung back into Miami’s open arms. Why leave if you’re just gonna boomerang back, right? But hey, guess Miami’s got some kind of siren song or really good cafeteria food. Carr didn’t exactly light the field on fire last season, but maybe this time… who knows.
Oh, and Arkansas, bless their Hog-loving hearts, lost Madden Iamaleava. Dude’s back with his bro at UCLA. Family first, huh? But, like, enter stage left—Trever Jackson. Coming all the way from Florida State to fill shoes clown-big. Four years of eligibility—a wild card or a gem? Only time tells.
Then there’s A.J. Haulcy, making noise and headlines in the Big 12 world. The guy skips campus visits like it’s 2020 again, having teams shuttle over to Houston just to woo him. Sounds exhausting, like dating apps in the real world. Miami? Sure. Ole Miss too. And LSU’s lurking, waiting to see who blinks first.
Meanwhile, Texas Tech, man, they keep adding kids like my grandma collects yarn. Cash Cleveland darted over from Colorado, standout season already padded on his resume. Freshman All-American, no less. Three more years as a Red Raider to see if he’s here to conquer or coast.
UCF, not to be outdone, snagged Davi Belfort. His dad? MMA legend. Imagine those family dinners. Anyway, he’s moving down from Virginia Tech, got four years to dazzle and confuse as quarterbacks do.
Virgina Tech, on the other hand, got raided and now they’re rebuilding that offensive line like a post-storm house of cards. Gavin Crawford from West Virginia’s landed to perhaps hold it all together. He got a promise to stay though, four years on tap.
Over at North Carolina, Coach Belichick (no, not that one) is in a frenzy, beefing up for the trench wars. Jordan Hall’s in from UAB, towering at 6’8”. Won’t shock me if he’s a bouncer in the offseason. Give him time, and who knows— maybe one day he’ll be the cornerstone of the Tar Heel front.
South Carolina… those Gamecocks are bracing for a doozy of a season. LaNorris Sellers is their guy, or so they hope. Meanwhile, Air Noland and Dante Reno were battling for QB backup like two cats in a fishing boat. Reno’s outta there now, though, answering that transfer portal call.
Mississippi State’s singing the transfer blues in reverse, welcoming Blake Steen from Virginia. Already got the starts, and with two years left, guess they’re thinking he’s not just another pair of cleats to fill out the roster.
And oh, Jakai Moore—what a tale. A seasoned Gamecock, praying for NCAA mercy for another stab at glory. Shoulder injury put a wrench in the works, but based on his snap count, he’s no stranger to the field. If he gets that bonus year, he’s gonna be a hot ticket, believe it.
Man, what a circus. It’s like they’re reshuffling these guys across teams like a deck of cards on a windy day. Football, huh? Always full of surprises.
