College football September transfer surprises

The college football transfer portal has seen some unexpected success stories this September. While high-profile moves have grabbed headlines, several under-the-radar transfers have made a significant impact for their new teams. One notable example is quarterback Hendon Hooker, who transferred from Virginia Tech to Tennessee and has led the Volunteers to an undefeated start. Another is wide receiver Jacob Cowing, who left UTEP for Arizona and has become a standout playmaker for the Wildcats. Defensive players have also found success, such as linebacker Daiyan Henley, who transferred from Washington State to Nevada and has emerged as a dominant force for the Wolf Pack. These transfer surprises have not only provided a boost to their new programs but have also highlighted the value of the transfer portal in reshaping college football rosters. As the season progresses, it will be interesting to see if these under-the-radar transfers continue to make an impact and potentially challenge the more high-profile moves.
