NCAA transfer portal predictions for Quinn Ewers, Spencer Rattler, Zach Evans and more

Here are the predictions for some of the top college football players hitting the transfer portal this offseason, including Quinn Ewers, Spencer Rattler and Zach Evans.

Notable college football players such as Quinn Ewers, Spencer Rattler and Zach Evans are all looking for new teams ahead of next season after dipping into the transfer portal.

Though it is not quite NFL free agency, this newfound version of college football free agency is utterly fascinating. It is still a relatively new phenomenon, but early returns suggest it is a great way for a rebuilding team to get better faster. Look no further than how quickly Mel Tucker turned things around in East Lansing. However, there are downsides to leaving one program for another.

Here are the predictions for the top college football players hitting the transfer portal.

College Football: Transfer portal predictions for top players entering 2022

Theo Wease is one of many former Oklahoma football players to enter the transfer portal with Lincoln Riley leaving the program. Though the Sooners made a great hire in getting Brent Venables as head coach, players will come and go from the Oklahoma program over the next year or so. As for Wease, there is a decent chance the talented wide receiver resurfaces on a new Big 12 team.

With Wease missing the entire season due to injury, he may covet playing time above all else. The Allen, Texas native could get that if he comes home and plays for new head coach Sonny Dykes at TCU. He can benefit playing in the same passing system that Dykes ran to perfection at SMU. The best part about this opportunity is Wease would not have to drop down to the Group of Five level.

Prediction: TCU

While Alabama gets ready for the College Football Playoff, former Crimson Tide defensive back Marcus Banks is looking for a new team. The former-four star from Houston had 21 offers coming out of high school in the 2019 recruiting class. Despite enrolling early, Banks did not make it through his third season at Alabama. Fortunately, he still got offers from all the big boys of note.

It may be highly controversial to transfer within division, but this is the new reality of college football. If a head coach can leave a program for another on a whim, then players should be able to transfer wherever they want. While playing immediately in-division is the one last ethical hold-up in all this, Banks seemed to have a strong connection with Texas A&M coming out of high school.

Prediction: Texas A&M
