    Predicting Landing Spots for Biggest Names in the 2023 Transfer Portal

     

    Walter Nolen, Defensive Tackle

    The top player in this year's transfer portal just so happens to be the same guy who was the top overall player in the 2022 recruiting class.

     

    During that cycle, the 5-star from Memphis, Tennessee, who played his high school senior season in Knoxville decided to play his college ball at Texas A&M for Jimbo Fisher. And after working his way into the rotation as a freshman, he began to blossom this year.

     

    He's a huge player at 6'4", 285 pounds, but he still possesses incredible athleticism at that size and can get after quarterbacks aggressively from the center of the line. He finished his sophomore season with 37 tackles, including 8.5 for a loss, and four sacks.

     

    "Disrupter" is a great way to describe Nolen, and many teams around the nation want him, even if it likely will be for just one season before he leaves early for the NFL.

    Steve Wiltfong and Matt Zenitz of 247Sports reported Nolen visited Oregon this weekend and Ole Miss will get the next shot at him. They also noted Alabama, Florida, Texas and USC were trying to get in the mix, and while Tennessee was mentioned early on, there isn't a lot of buzz surrounding the Vols right now.

     

    The Ducks are normally very active and aggressive in the portal, but will Nolen head that far away from home to play his college ball? If the Crimson Tide and Longhorns get firmly in the mix, both programs would be a threat, and Lane Kiffin is a top-tier recruiter.

     

    For now, though, let's roll with Dan Lanning.


    Prediction: Oregon

    There are so many quality players in this year's transfer portal, the options of where they may end up are dizzying. Already, we've seen potential superstars…

    2024 Heisman Trophy: Ranking the Top-10 Contenders

     

    3. QB Dillon Gabriel, Oregon

    Transfer quarterbacks have won the last two Heisman Trophy awards (Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels) and now Gabriel will have his chance to make it three in a row since he’s decided to continue his college career and play at Oregon. 

    Gabriel has averaged over 3,100 yards and 30 touchdowns in every full season of his career, and he should continue to put up monster stats in Will Stein’s offense. Bo Nix was a Heisman finalist in 2023, and it wouldn’t surprise anyone if Gabriel, who will play for a title contender and is well-liked in the sport, finds his way to New York City next year, too.

    Updated Oregon Ducks 2024 scholarship distribution chart

     

    We are in the midst of the offseason in the world of college football, which means that it’s time for fans and media members to pour over scholarship charts and try to figure out where the team needs to add or subtract players at key positions going forward.

     

    College teams are allowed 85 scholarships at the start of the season. At the moment, the Ducks have 89.

     

    For the Oregon Ducks, the roster is looking a bit inflated at the moment, but that is certainly going to change over the coming weeks. We’ve seen a few players jump in the transfer portal or declare of the 2024 NFL Draft, but there are still many more that will undoubtedly make themselves known in due time. Meanwhile, the Ducks will also add several more players via the transfer portal as well.

     

    As the offseason rolls along, we will continue to keep this scholarship distribution chart up to date. Here’s where things stand right now:
