The addition of the transfer portal to college football has been one of the biggest developments in recent years, as players now have more information than ever when it comes to seeking a new school to attend. Instead of getting permission from their current schools in order to transfer, and in many cases being blocked from certain schools, players now have the ability to transfer to another school freely.
With spring practice wrapped up at programs across the country, transfer news is flying fast and furious. In a new weekly feature at Rivals.com, we will look at the comings and goings as well as the biggest news surrounding uncommitted transfers currently in the portal.

Chris Steele to Oregon
Less than a week after entering the portal with the intention of leaving Florida, the class of 2019 five-star made the announcement that he would be heading to Oregon. Steele enrolled early with the Gators and initial reports were that he was on track to see the field as a true freshman this fall. But a dispute following sexual battery accusations against his roommate, Jalon Jones, reportedly led to a falling out between Steele and the Gators coaches. Jones wasn’t charged in the case, but he has also elected to enter the transfer portal. Steele joins a number of former highly ranked defensive backs from California now at Oregon.
