College football's spring transfer portal period opened Wednesday and runs through Friday, April 25. More than 2,700 players have elected to transfer this offseason. This period is the last chance for underclassmen to switch teams before the start of the 2025 season and for schools to bolster their roster.

However, for Coach Golden and his staff, the work began immediately after the championship. With the 2025–26 season on the horizon, attention quickly turned to roster management—a task made tougher by the ever-active NCAA transfer portal, which continues to cause choas with college basketball rosters across the country.
