College football transfer portal tracker: Today's commitments (Jan. 17)

The transfer portal window for college football players has officially closed, with an exception for Indiana and Miami players due to their participation in the national championship game, which grants them an additional five-day window. Players who have entered the portal must now decide on their new destinations, with many aiming to join their new teams by the spring semester for practice.

Duke's quarterback Darian Mensah's entry into the portal has created notable intrigue, as he had previously announced his return to Duke and holds an NIL contract. Meanwhile, several players have already announced their transfer commitments. Key quarterback moves include Lucian Anderson III from Bowling Green to South Carolina and Bryson Beaver from Oregon to Georgia.

Other notable transfers include running back Keith Adams Jr. from Clemson to Georgia State and wide receiver Da'Shawn Martin from Kent State to Virginia. Offensive lineman Nick Brooks moves from Texas to Alabama, and linebacker TJ Dottery transfers from Ole Miss to LSU.

The portal period for 2026 extended from January 2-
