The transfer portal is open. Here are ASU football players added to it

6 days ago 2

The NCAA football transfer portal opened on Jan. 2 and will remain open for two weeks. Although exceptions are made for players who have coaching changes at their school, as well as players participating in the college football playoffs, most players who intend to enter the portal will do so quickly.

There is one significant change this season as the two-week window in January is the only transfer portal window, so there will be more players entering it at this time than in years past. Previously, there was a second portal window that alligned with the end of spring practices.

We will update this as needed.

Arizona State players in the transfer portal

OL Josh Atkins (Sr., 6-4, 310): Atkins has 25 career starts at left tackle over the last two years at ASU. He started his career at Houston but did not play a game, then played one season at Hawaii. He was granted a sixth year of eligibility, which is the only reason he can play another season.

RB Raleek Brown (Jr., 5-9, 195): Brown had a breakout season with 186 carries for 1,141 yards in 2025. He had a career-high against Colorado with 22 carries for 255 yards. That broke the ASU single-season record for rushing yards in a road game. He was also integral in the passing game with 34 receptions for 239 yards. He excelled on special teams early in the season with two punt returns for 31 yards and two kickoff returns for 35 yards. He spent two years at USC before transferring to ASU.

TE Jayden Fortier (Fr., 6-4, 210): Fortier was the No. 1-ranked player out of Oregon in 2023 and has been at ASU for two years. He sustained a torn ACL in a playoff game at the end of his senior season of high school, so he was unable to play in 2024, but he has yet to play even one snap. Has full eligibility left.

QB Sam Leavitt (So., 6-2, 205): This was Leavitt's second year in the program after transferring from Michigan State. He was limited to seven games due to a foot injury, throwing for 1,628 yards and 10 touchdowns. He last played against Houston on Oct. 25. He had foot surgery during the first week of November. He has two years of eligibility left.

CB Javan Robinson (Jr., 5-11, 180): Robinson has been a starter at corner the last two years (26 games played). In 2025, he totaled 42 tackles, 2.5 tackles for a loss, a fumble recovery and eight pass breakups. His marquee moment was a game-saving interception in 2024 against BYU. He was at Washington State for two seasons before he arrived in Tempe. He has one year of eligibility left.

LB Tate Romney (R-Jr., 6-2, 225): Romney, a product of Chandler High School, came to ASU after one year at BYU, in which he redshirted. He has played three seasons for the Sun Devils. His best season was 2023 when he totaled 52 tackles, 1 sack and 4 passes defended. He missed much of 2024 with a broken arm and was used primarily in a reserve role and on special teams in 2025. He is a grad transfer with one season of eligibility left.

WR Zechariah Sample (R-Fr., 5-10, 175): Sample has been in the program for two years and was one of the fastest players. He did not play in 2024 due to a foot injury. In 2025, he was used primarily as a return specialist with 11 punt returns for 101 yards. He has three years of eligibility left.
