Many of the top programs are mining for the best transfer portal quarterbacks every offseason, and college football free agency has never been busier as coaches look to upgrade QB depth charts heading into 2022. The transfer portal is changing the sport, and quarterback transfers have gone on to win the Heisman Trophy or lead their team to the College Football Playoff and win a national championship in recent seasons.

Best Available QBs: Transfers | 2022 Recruits | 2023 Recruits | 2024 Recruits
Whether the quarterback carousel or not, college football is officially a sport that needs to be covered 12 months out of the year. As someone who runs a college football website, this is fantastic because you, me and any fan across the country cannot get enough of quarterback news, rumors and message board chatter.
With the NCAA’s new one-time transfer rule, players have until May 1, 2022 to enter the transfer portal to become immediately eligible for the fall if they have yet to transfer during their career. For SEC players who intend to transfer within the conference and become eligible immediately, the deadline for entry was February 1, 2022.
The best transfer portal quarterbacks tracker is updated daily or whenever news breaks. Only the quarterbacks who transferred to or from FBS programs will be featured in the tracker.
156 quarterbacks fit this criteria, and 41 have not announced where they will play in 2022.
Get updates on quarterback carousel and the latest college football QB news featuring updates on the transfer portal, recruiting, position battles, injuries and more all in one spot.
