2025-2026 Offseason Portal Tracker

The Portal will look a little different this year. A lot of players are announcing their "intent" to portal out when the new single window opens 1/2-16/2026. Surprisingly, I cannot see that any of our players have indicated they plan to do so. I'm sure plenty will, just nothing yet.

I think the middling season keeps/motivates Marion and Co. for another year - hopefully some of the players we want to keep too. I wouldn't be surprised to see 30-40 new faces, instead of 70.

Primary Retention Hopes:
  • Keep Henderson, Smith, and Curtis (RS) at RB. Bring back a healthy Borders.
  • Promise Campbell and Anderson (and '26 WR Recruits) a QB that can actually throw next year.
  • Keep Meadors and Firebaugh around.
  • Try to keep defensive playmakers: Akui, Hampsten, Watts, and McGlothern.
Portal Goals:
  • QB - Land a legitimate dual threat QB - Marion HAS to know that Williams is a gamer, but NOT the answer for his offense. Let Rashada walk, keep Malone in the fold.
  • OL - Losing lots of depth on the OL, there will be plug and play starting opportunities for transfers, K-Rich can find gems. There is some serious underclassmen talent on the roster too.
  • DB - Find some size, guys that won't fall down. :)
  • ILB - Not sure extent of Rocha and Houston's injuries, but Moore graduates and we need some depth here.
  • What else?
 
Keep everyone who started/played significant time this year because need depth and if offseason get proper development, those players will get a lot better. There are players like #23, 6’3” db that has just started coming into his own. Akui wasn’t even a player in 2024. If 2025 season has taught us anything it is Playing experience > talent/3-4 star players without playing experience.
