College football transfer portal tracker: Bryce Underwood returning to Michigan, Trinidad Chambliss returning to Ole Miss if granted waiver

Our Summary

The college football transfer portal has officially opened, setting the stage for significant player movement over the next two weeks. Key quarterbacks entering the portal include DJ Lagway (Florida), Sam Leavitt (Arizona State), Dylan Raiola (Nebraska), and Drew Mestemaker (North Texas to Oklahoma State). Notably, former North Carolina starting quarterback Gio Lopez has entered the portal after throwing for 1,747 yards and 10 touchdowns in his first season at Chapel Hill.

Mikey Keene, previously with Michigan and Fresno State, has also entered the portal after losing the starting position to Bryce Underwood at Michigan. Underwood, despite the recent firing of Michigan's Sherrone Moore, has decided to stay with the Wolverines next season. Former Notre Dame quarterback Kenny Minchey initially committed to Nebraska but flipped his commitment to Kentucky under new head coach Will Stein.

In other transfers, Georgia Tech wide receiver Bailey Stockton has moved to Florida, while NC State running back Hollywood Smothers committed to Alabama
