For as familiar as college football will look, feel and sound this weekend, change will radiate throughout the sport. Specifically, Week 1 will reinforce just how many game-altering players swapped teams in the offseason.

The transfer rules have made the process of joining a new program much easier (and quicker) than it once was. And for teams in search of a jolt, they can now find it in the form of the bustling portal.

Need a quarterback? Go get one. In search of a wideout or three-down running back? The portal has them.

But which transfers will have the greatest impact on their new teams? We asked B/R readers to tell us which players to believe in.

They delivered, as always.

Horns Way, Way Up

Response: Quinn Ewers hands up

When you're the starting quarterback at Texas, the expectations are different. But the Quinn Ewers hype and anticipation has reached the mesosphere.

Ewers' path to Austin has been full of turns. He was 247Sports' No. 1 player in the class of 2021, graduated early to enroll at Ohio State and then left for Texas after only one year. He was recently named the starter over Hudson Card, and he'll get every opportunity to star at a program that desperately needs him to become one.

The talent is there. Ewers has all the tools to be a great player. He's also still young, inexperienced and playing for a team undergoing massive roster renovations.

We are likely to see glimpses and mistakes, which are to be expected. That he can hand the ball off to Bijan Robinson is a tremendous perk. But Ewers will be the focal point of this offense and team for the foreseeable future.

I expect him to play well, though matching these enormous expectations might be a challenge. They are that high.
