The college football transfer portal has completely changed how schools build their teams, as coaches appear to be in recruitment mode all the time for active players. And with some schools able to use endorsement money to lure players away, the industry is in a whole new era.
Even if players have no intention to transfer, that doesn’t mean some schools are trying to convince them to anyway. Coming off a strong season, Maryland quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa said he was offered $1.5 million from an SEC team to transfer in the offseason.
However, Tagovailoa chose to return to Maryland, in part because he knows he doesn’t need that kind of money.
