Tracking Arizona football’s 2026 NCAA transfer portal activity

It’s officially Player Movement SZN, otherwise known as the opening of the NCAA Transfer Portal.

The latest change to the ever-evolving transfer market in college football has been the move to a single, 15-day window in which players can enter the portal and interested teams can make contact. That portal runs from Jan. 2-16, with no additional portal in the spring like in years past.
