Don’t forget that rosters are going from about 125 or 135 players down to 105. Every team is going have 20 or 30 players who are walk-one who are going to go into the transfer portal because they’re not allowed to stay at school where they are now.
 
This portal is expected to be insane from what I’ve heard. Tons of players expected to be on the move with a tons left without a landing spot in the “big boy” levels and heading to D2.
Should be lots of landing spots with the scholly numbers increasing

Not really:

- Scholarships haven't been important for a few years now ... through NIL, they can easily get tuition paid for for anyone they want. I know UGA has had players over the 85 scholarship limit who got NIL instead. This has been common for all schools, including Oregon.

- At least in the SEC, football is still limited to 85 scholarships. Again, it doesn't really matter as NIL fills in where needed.

- While scholarships have been expanded to roster limits, the roster limit for football has tightened and is now at 105. Most teams carry 125 - 135 players today. For example, Oregon has 128 players on their published roster this year. They have to let 23 of those go. Across 136 schools, that's over 3,000 players who will lose spots and won't have a place to land because all the other schools have to get down to 105. Smaller schools in G5, and then down to FCS, etc. will now get far better players. UGA has some walk-ons who could have played elsewhere. They will have to now.

The extra 20—from 85 to 105—will likely be PWO-level players for the most part. Good players won't typically go in and be willing to be the 7th RB, the 14th WR, the 6th TE, etc., and relegated to the scout team.
 
QB’s with any hope of starting next year need to get in portal now. There is little to no chance you will start if you’re not in spring practice and you won’t be in spring practice unless you’re enrolled for the spring semester starting in January. So it’s hard to see QB’s that want to transfer, even playoff bound teams, staying.
 


I hate to see him go. The stats look underwhelming, but I think a lot of that could be attributed to the circumstances around him. I thought he played well when he was given opportunities, and I'll never forget his TD against Bama

Next year we should see the last of the 2020 super seniors, right?
