BACK IN THE DECEMBER ISSUE we featured our popular annual feature “Where They Are Going,” which tracks the movement of high-end collegiate eligibility.
Here’s our mid-year update. With the advent of the NIL phenomenon and the increased usage of the transfer portal, more athletes than ever are frequently on the move.
Codes: N = new recruits; JC = transfers from a 2‑year college; T = newly eligible transfers from another 4‑year school; GT = eligible transfer doing graduate work; DNR = athletes with remaining eligibility who did not return to team; ‘ = athlete not eligible for Team USA; **soph; * = junior; – = senior (unless otherwise noted, all N people are frosh).
