In the four days since the spring transfer window opened on Saturday morning, we’ve seen 230 FBS scholarship players enter the NCAA transfer portal. As expected, not many big names have hit the market so far.

In fact, about two-thirds of the players available this week have never started a game in college. This phase of transfer recruiting is more about mining for unexpected gems than fighting over players everybody covets.

“There hasn’t been a ton of top-tier talent so far this go-round; only a handful of guys right now,” one Power 5 director of player personnel said. “I would imagine we’ll get a few more guys trickling in over the next couple days. More spring games this weekend, so another rush on Monday.”

Naturally, though, that small handful of talented transfers commands a lot of attention and offers. Here’s what we’re hearing on some of the best available players and the trends of this spring transfer window.

1. As soon as Georgia defensive tackle Bear Alexander entered the portal on Saturday, the rumors were flying that USC already had him locked up. One reason for that: His dad was in Los Angeles on that same day attending the Trojans’ spring game and posting photos he took with quarterbacks Caleb Williams and Malachi Nelson. At the very least, USC is out in front and in great shape here, though we’ll see if Miami or others can make things interesting.

This is a different situation than the one Georgia’s coaching staff faced last April when five-star freshman offensive tackle Amarius Mims put his name in the portal and nearly departed for Florida State. In that case, Georgia fought to get Mims to stay. Alexander is certainly one of the Bulldogs’ most talented defensive linemen and flashed that potential last season, but it appears Georgia is moving on. Kirby Smart and his players, when asked last Saturday after their spring game about Alexander, did not lobby for him to return. “I’m very pleased with what we’ve got on our team and our roster,” Smart said.
