This year it was Jordan Addison. While other top players entered the portal early, it was usually because they had lost a starting job (Spencer Rattler) or there was a coaching change (Oklahoma players transferring to USC).
Addison changes that. This is a case where NIL money rules. It happened in basketball where Miami got a transfer prepackaged with a big NIL deal. It’s happening with Addison.
Next year, we are going to see a significant number of star non-draft eligible players enter the transfer portal after the season but early in the process and then go where the best NIL deal takes them. Agents will emerge as key players in the whole process. Someone will be dubbed the “Scott Boras of NIL.” College football as well know it will be over.
