<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/makhi-hughes/30832">Makhi Hughes</a> is one of the more recent entries to the transfer portal, but he'll quickly become a top target for many teams. The sophomore running back put together a monster season for the Green Wave with 1,401 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns. Expect Hughes to land with a top team, considering what he has to offer any backfield in the nation.

1) RB Makhi Hughes, Tulane

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/donavon-greene/24710">Donavon Greene</a> has spent four seasons at Wake Forest, where he's shown flashes of how dominant he can be as a downfield option. However, the wideout has battled injuries, contributing to his down season this year. Now, he hits the portal, seeking a fresh start.

2) WR Donavon Greene, Wake Forrest

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/sincere-edwards/40152">Sincere Edwards</a> made headlines with his decision to enter the transfer portal after an impressive true freshman season with Pitt. The former four-star recruit finished the season with 17 total tackles, three sacks, and two pass defenses. With the potential to be a game wrecker in the trenches, Edwards will have teams lining up for his services.

3) EDGE Sincere Edwards, Pitt

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/USATSI_24435945-scaled-e1735331012535-768x432.jpg

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/tra-thomas/42930">Tra Thomas</a> has spent three seasons at Temple, where he's consistently impressed on the Owls defensive line. The edge rusher has racked up 72 total tackles, eight sacks, one interception, and one forced fumble over three years. The six-foot-four defender could make a leap in the right situation.

4) EDGE Tra Thomas, Temple

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/USATSI_24128164-scaled-e1735331396756-768x432.jpg

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/william-whitlow/33643">William Whitlow Jr.</a> is another defensive lineman who has opted to test the waters in the transfer portal. The Memphis transfer has spent three seasons with the Tigers, during which time he improved as a pass rusher and run stopper. The Alabama native likely has a deep market in the portal.

5) DL William Whitlow Jr., Memphis

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/USATSI_24233388-scaled-e1735332197986-768x432.jpg

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/cortez-braham/18134">Cortez Braham Jr.</a> committed to West Virginia after graduating high school. However, after two lackluster seasons with the Mountaineers, the wideout transferred to Nevada last offseason. Braham Jr. put together a career year with 724 receiving yards and four touchdowns. Now, he hits the portal, hoping to build off his strong year with the Wolf Pack.

6) WR Cortez Braham Jr., Nevada

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/USATSI_24109769-scaled-e1735331726961-768x432.jpg

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/taeshaun-lyons/21753">Taeshaun Lyons</a> committed to Utah as a four-star recruit out of high school. After a lackluster freshman season, the wideout entered the transfer portal and shortly afterward withdrew his name. However, after some time, the California native decided to put his name back in the portal.

7) WR Taeshaun Lyons, Utah

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/USATSI_19201806-scaled-e1735331979570-768x432.jpg

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/caleb-hood/33124">Caleb Hood</a> committed to North Carolina as a four-star recruit in 2021. In four seasons with the team, the running back has struggled to carve out a consistent role with the Tar Heels. Following the hiring of Bill Belichick, Hood hits the portal, seeking a more prominent role elsewhere.

7) RB Caleb Hood, North Carolina

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/USATSI_24479416-e1735332435172-768x432.jpg

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/michael-coats/18223">Michael Coats Jr.</a> has spent two seasons at Nevada, where he showed flashes of being a versatile defender in the Wolf Pack's secondary. The cornerback finished the 2024 season with 41 total tackles, ten pass defenses, and four interceptions. Coats Jr. will likely have multiple teams with him on their radar, as reliable secondary players are hard to come by.

9) CB Michael Coats Jr., Nevada

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/USATSI_24180178-scaled-e1735332606134-768x432.jpg

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cfb/players/dre-butler/63429">Dre Butler</a> started his collegiate journey at Auburn before transferring to Liberty. Following a decent season with the Flames, the defensive lineman transferred to Michigan State, where he saw his role decrease even more than he had envisioned. Now, after a strong season at Charlotte, the six-foot-five defender hits the portal for his fourth time.
