Transfer Portal Update (4/1/2025)

Just last week we had a portal update and almost immediately after it was posted, portal related news continued to hit. Now, we have a few notable wrestlers who have already announced their transfer destinations - along with more high-profile additions to the portal itself. 

Love it or hate it, it’s the reality. Student-athletes have the ability to transfer much more freely than past generations. Couple that with the extra year of eligibility doled out by the NCAA in the aftermath of the COVID years and you have a wild combination. There was lots of movement last “offseason” and I don’t foresee that changing this year. 

The first list of wrestlers we’ve listed have already publicly committed to a new transfer destination. That new school is listed first, along with their projected weight, followed by their former school. 

Below them are notable wrestlers that have gone into the transfer portal. It is not a comprehensive list. 

Expect many updates to this feature in the coming weeks and months.
