College Transfers to Watch Out for

In this age of college football NIL deals and an offseason transfer window, it makes sense that every season players have a profound impact on their new team.

This season is no different as squads like Oregon and Ohio State scored quarterback coups.

Check out the eight transfer players that will have the most positive impact on their new team.

Writer’s Picks after Watching College Football’s Transfers

QB Dillon Gabriel Oklahoma to Oregon

Gabriel, a former Central Florida quarterback, transferred to Oklahoma before the 2023 season and immediately paid dividends.

When Oregon head coach Dan Lanning sent word that he’d like Gabriel to transfer, Dillon couldn’t resist the chance to play for the Ducks.

Gabriel saw how Oregon turned Bo Nix from a second rate SEC quarterback at Auburn in a first round NFL Draft pick.

Gabriel will get off to a flying start because Lanning also transferred Evan Stewart to Oregon.

WR Evan Stewart Texas A&M to Oregon

The reason the Ducks are on the verge of a national title is because Dan Lanning thinks about his entire program.

He knew that if he landed Gabriel he had to land a top wide receiver for Gabriel to throw the ball.

No doubt, the Ducks before Stewart went to Autzen were loaded at the receiver position.

Stewart, though, is a top five recruit from Texas A&M’s famous class from a few seasons ago.

He’s immediately one of the best receivers in the Big Ten and will have a massive impact.

QB Will Howard Kansas State to Ohio State

Howard going to Ohio State didn’t make as many top ten transfer lists as we would have thought.

The difference with our list is that we’re thinking of how new offensive coordinator Chip Kelly will use the Kansas State quarterback.

Howard has the ability to run with the football.

He’s got a bit of Marcus Mariota in him as well as having a strong arm.

In other words, Will Howard is the type of QB that should run Kelly’s system to perfection.

DT Walter Nolen Texas A&M to Ole Miss

Lane Kiffin believes that with Nick Saban’s retirement at Alabama the door is open for a team to take up the second spot in the SEC behind Georgia.

Bama and the Texas Longhorns will for sure compete for that spot.

Neither the Tide nor the Horns may have as good of an offense as what Kiffin’s got with Jaxon Dart.

So Lane realizes that to win the SEC he has to have a great defense to go along with his amazing offense.

Walter Nolen was the top overall high school recruit in his senior season.

He’s a legit first round, top pick talent NFL Draft prospect prospect.

Nolen will have an immediate impact and makes Ole Miss a real contender for the National Championship.

RB Damien Martinez Oregon State to Miami

Miami head coach Mario Cristobol used to be the HC at Oregon.

So when Oregon State didn’t land in a Power 5 Conference after the Pac-12 folded, Cristobol jumped at the chance of recruiting Beaver Damien Martinez.

Martinez was an impact player at Oregon State.

He immediately boosts the Hurricanes’ offense because not only did Martinez land in Miami but so did Cam Ward.

QB Cam Ward Washington State to Miami

The former Washington State quarterback flirted with the NFL before deciding to play for Cristobol at Miami.

Ward is as good of a quarterback as any in the ACC.

He’s a legitimate Heisman Trophy candidate that can run with the ball and has excellent tough on the deep pass.

Together with Damien Martinez, Ward will take the Miami offense to new heights.

The Canes will be the reason Florida State doesn’t reproduce their undefeated season from a year ago.

RB Quinshon Judkins Ole Miss to Ohio State

Chip Kelly’s offense demands top skill players.

Those skill players get a chance to end up on ESPN highlight reels that they can send to NFL scouts, which is the reason Quinshon Judkins, arguably the SEC’s top rusher last season, decided to leave Lane Kiffin to play for Ron Day and Kelly in Columbus.

Judkins is going to have a monster season.

Ohio State already had a deep RB room.

With Judkins, it’s the best running back room in college football.

Judkins is one of the few running backs in the country, Ollie Gordon at Oklahoma State is the other, that can win the Heisman.

FS Caleb Downs Alabama to Ohio State

This is the most impactful transfer and it isn’t that close.

Yes, Walter Nolen is going to change Ole Miss’ defense, but Caleb Downs was the best defensive back last season at Alabama as a freshman.

He’s a Jalen Ramsey type that can play corner, free safety, or even strong safety if required.

Downs has incredible instincts and is one of the main reasons Ohio State is the second choice behind Georgia to win the title.

Convincing Downs to leave Tuscaloosa and play for the Buckeyes was a massive get by Ron Day.

If Ohio State wins the first ever 12-Team College Football Playoff it will because Downs dominates on the defensive side of the ball.
