Transfer portal tracker: Top QB Sam Leavitt heading to LSU; Dylan Raiola commits to Oregon

The college football transfer portal has entered its second week and almost all of the top quarterbacks in the country have already committed or signed with a new school.

Two of the biggest names came off the board Monday morning as Nebraska QB Dylan Raiola committed to Oregon and former ASU QB Sam Leavitt is headed to LSU.

Raiola will likely back up Dante Moore, who announced Wednesday that he’d be returning for another season with the Ducks.

Leavitt was one of the last big names on the board that hadn’t made a decision, but Lane Kiffin has apparently lured him to Baton Rouge.

Former Florida QB DJ Lagway is reportedly still talking to other schools even after verbally committing to Baylor. Ole Miss is one of the schools with reported interest.

There’s more clarity with Washington QB Demond Williams, who announced he’s returning to the school two days after trying to enter the transfer portal. His return to UW ended a drama-filled couple of days.

    The college football transfer portal is open through Friday, but we have a pretty good idea of which teams have done well and which teams still have to fill some needs before spring practices.

    Here are Nick Bromberg’s winners and losers so far.

    Dante Moore’s return to Oregon and Dylan Raiola’s arrival as a transfer are having ripple effects on the Oregon depth chart.

    Not transfer news per se, but Oregon’s Dante Moore has announced he’s coming back for one more year in Eugene.

    The Ducks had added Dylan Raiola in the portal, so Raiola will likely back up Moore next season before becoming Oregon’s starter in 2027.

    Lane Kiffin has added yet another quarterback to his roster in Baton Rouge. This time it’s a developmental prospect who was a top-end recruit out of high school.

    Longstreet only played spot duty in four games during his one season at USC, but was listed as the No. 7 quarterback in the portal by On3.

    The Yellow Jackets have added one of the biggest names left in the transfer portal, getting a commitment from Michigan transfer RB Justice Haynes.

    Haynes ran for 857 yards and 10 TDs at a 7.1 yard-per-carry clip for the Wolverines this season. He was leading the Big Ten in rushing before suffering a foot injury in October that sidelined him for the season.
