NCAA football transfer window 2023 - latest news, updates, takeaways - ESPN

College football's transfer portal opens Monday and will be open for the next 30 days. More than 2,100 NCAA football players entered the portal in last December's transfer window — the most of any month since the transfer portal was created in fall 2018.

The NCAA enacted two transfer portal windows: a 30-day window that starts the day after the four College Football Playoff teams are selected, and a spring window from April 15 to 30.

A few more things to know:

The official fall transfer period is Dec. 4, 2023-Jan. 2, 2024.

Players can officially enter the portal at midnight on Dec. 4. Many will declare their intentions beforehand.

If a coach is fired or leaves the program, that school's players can enter the portal immediately.

The 2023 season might have seen the biggest impact of the transfer portal in its five-year existence. Deion Sanders' total overhaul of Colorado came thanks largely to the portal and the 53 transfers, including do-everything star Travis Hunter and his son, quarterback Shedeur Sanders. Transfer quarterbacks — Oregon's Bo Nix and Washington's Michael Penix Jr. — will decide the Pac-12 title and perhaps a spot in the College Football Playoff. Receiver Keon Coleman became a breakout star for Florida State, and LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels — the Heisman Trophy front-runner — are both transfers as well.

Could more impact players be on the move over the next month? Players whose coaches have been fired or left their schools are already able to enter the portal.
