The December window of the transfer portal opened today! Hope all the coaches are having fun recruiting their own players!
It’s a fire hose of tweets out there, with over 400 players entering the portal just this morning. To cut down on potential posts of screenshots of the notes app on the phones of 18-22 year-olds, let’s keep the discussion in this thread.
I’m compiling a rudimentary list of names in the portal as I see news, but I’m not going to sink too much time into this. If I miss anything, please let me know in a comment!

RIP to anyone trying to see my tracker on Jerboa. Seems it still can’t render tables within spoiler tags. I’m curious if any other mobile apps have that issue.
If anyone’s getting a bunch of markdown text when they expand the tags, try viewing this post in a browser.
I’m on Boost and same; neither spoiler tags nor table format is working.
Ah, sorry about that, but good to know.
You’re a Nebraska fan, right? I haven’t seen any transfer news for them, and don’t really expect much since Matt Rhule is still building his program.
All good, figured you’d be interested to know it’s not a Jerboa only problem. I appreciate the effort you put into this post.
And yep, Nebraska fan. I’m aware of two entering in December so far: John Goodwin, walk-on TE, and Jake Appleget, redshirt freshman who bounced around offense, defense, and special teams.
Myles Farmer entered the portal earlier in the fall and I think might already be with another team. Defensive Back, left after being suspended for “not meeting standards” according to Rhule. I do like how Rhule doesn’t spill a lot of tea when players go through personal challenges.
JK. There’s a little bit more news now. Tiny news. Just rumors of both McCord and Raiola looking at Nebraska, and Jeff Sims went back in the Portal.
My algorithmic feeds on other platforms are blowing up, telling me this is finally the turning point for Nebraska, and I am carefully dosing 10 mL of Kool-Aid to sip on.
Too bad y’all missed out on McCord, but the Raiola flip should be huge. I don’t think blue bloods can ever really be down for too long, so maybe this really is where the program turns a corner.
I know there may be bad blood between Texas and Nebraska but that was before my time. I mostly just feel bad Casey Thompson didn’t move the needle for you guys.
And I’m certainly glad Rhule is not coaching in my conference. His Baylor teams were formidable
