Top 5 College Football Transfers: Where They’ll Land
Top Uncommitted College Football Prospects and Their Potential Destinations
As the transfer portal entry window remains open, albeit with a mix of indecisive and late-entry prospects, the market is still highly active. Here’s a breakdown of the top five uncommitted prospects based on On3Sports’s rankings and the most likely destinations they might end up in.
Princewill Umanmielen – Ole Miss EDGE
Umanmielen quickly rose to the top of the portal prospects due to his last-minute decision to enter the transfer portal. During his two seasons at Nebraska, he showed promise with 35 tackles and 1.5 sacks. However, last season, he transformed that potential into stardom, recording 44 tackles, including 13 tackles for loss and nine sacks.
His decision to enter the portal came as a surprise since he had reportedly signed a new contract with Ole Miss. It’s possible that this situation could mirror the Demond Williams scenario, where he ultimately stays at Ole Miss. If not, Lane Kiffin and LSU are worth keeping an eye on, as recent reports suggest Kiffin is trying to recruit members of his former Rebel class.
Darian Mensah – Duke QB
A year ago, the Duke quarterback signed a two-year $8 million NIL deal. Now, as the portal closes, Mensah may be on the move again. After a standout season at Tulane in 2024 (2,723 yards passing, 22 TDs), he had an impressive 2025 season with Duke (3,973 yards and 34 TDs).
The biggest rumor surrounding Mensah is that if he can get out of his Duke deal, Miami is the team to watch. Given the high price tag of his contract, the Hurricanes would need to invest a significant amount, and whether they can work out the details is a story to follow. Ole Miss has also been mentioned, but it seems like Miami is the main contender.
Damon Wilson II – Missouri EDGE
Wilson spent two seasons at Georgia before his stock increased at Missouri in 2025, where he recorded 23 tackles and nine sacks. The 6’4″, 230-pound pass rusher is now in the portal while still dealing with issues from his previous departure from Georgia. Recent reports indicate that Wilson plans to visit Texas Tech and Miami.
This recruitment has been relatively quiet, especially for a player ranked among the top 10 overall portal prospects. Both Texas Tech and Miami could be logical fits for him.
Jordan Seaton – Colorado OT
The 6’5″, 300-pound Seaton is one of the top offensive line prospects entering the portal. A second-team All-Big 12 pick in his sophomore year with the Buffs in 2025, Seaton made a late decision to join the portal and has been making visits.
Texas and Oregon were early favorites for Seaton, who has visited Mississippi State, where his former offensive line coach is now based. Miami is also expected to be involved. Texas hasn’t made a big splash in the portal, which might mean they’re waiting for a prospect as significant as Seaton to make a move.
Trequan Jones – Old Dominion RB
Jones had settled in at Maryland but is now apparently on the move again. As a JUCO prospect, he rushed for 792 yards and six scores in his junior season with the Monarchs. Before choosing Maryland, he was linked to Michigan State, Cincinnati, Louisville, and Pittsburgh.
It’s unclear why he’s moving from Maryland, but for a Florida prospect, Miami is an interesting possibility.
