The transfer market is still red hot, with some massive players searching for new teams. We’ve seen a ton of movement this year, with players from around the country leaping into the portal. With some needle movers still available on the market, we’re tracking the top transfer players still on the market!
Patrick Payton, the former 2022 ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year, is a new addition to this list, recently entering the portal. The junior defensive end has had enough of the FSU debacle this year. With a 2-10 record to end the season, that’s not enough to hang onto a guy like Payton.
The 6’5, 250lb Florida native is now on the move after a somewhat down here with the Noles with one year of eligibility left. The former 4-star recruit has the pick of the litter with so many teams on the hunt for established defensive linemen.
Without any established reporting yet, it’s hard to tell who will come seriously knocking at his door. We’ll keep you updated as soon as we get word, though!
The former 5-star recruit is on the move from USC with his brother Zion Branch. After two seasons, the brothers have had enough of Lincoln Riley as they pursue a change of scenery.
Despite the high ranking coming out of high school, Branch hasn’t jumped off the page as a receiver. The 5’10 Las Vegas native only totaled just over 800 yards and three touchdowns over his two years at USC. Even with a slow start to his collegiate career, there are still plenty of suitors for Branch. His flashes of elite speed and excellent coordination should open plenty of doors for the Sophomore.
