Transfer portal tracker: QB Demond Williams says he's returning to Washington

The college football transfer portal opened on January 2, 2026, marking the start of a single transfer window that will close on January 16. This period is expected to see a significant number of player movements across programs nationwide. Notable quarterbacks already involved include Sam Leavitt (Arizona State), Dylan Raiola (Nebraska), DJ Lagway (transferring from Florida to Baylor), and Drew Mestemaker (transferring from North Texas to Oklahoma State).

Additionally, Alabama receiver Isaiah Horton is entering the portal after a productive year, and Louisville has acquired Tyler Thompson from North
