My top 5 impact transfer RBs before the second transfer portal window opens.

  • Quarterbacks

1. Raheim Sanders, South Carolina (from Arkansas)

— Due to an injury-plagued 2023 season, some have forgotten that Sanders rushed for 1,443 yards and 10 touchdowns at Arkansas in 2022. He’s nasty.

Oct 1, 2022; Fayetteville, Arkansas, USA; Arkansas Razorbacks running back Raheim

2. Quinshon Judkins, Ohio State (from Ole Miss)

— Judkins’ departure from Ole Miss was one of the bigger surprises of this portal cycle. It resulted in Ohio State piecing together the top running back duo in the country, as with TreVeyon Henderson, the two will be must-watch TV this season.

Mar 5, 2024; Columbus, OH, USA; Ohio State Buckeyes running back Quinshon Judkins (1) runs during the first spring practice at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.

3. Jonah Coleman, Washington (from Arizona)

— The Huskies had a hole at the position, especially with Dillon Johnson heading to the NFL, so there should be plenty of opportunities for Coleman to make an immediate impact in Seattle.

Nov 25, 2023; Tempe, Arizona, USA; Arizona Wildcats running back Jonah Coleman (3) scores a touchdown against the Arizona State Sun Devils in the first half of the Territorial Cup at Mountain America Stadium.

4. Trevor Etienne, Georgia (from Florida)

— This transfer was a gut punch for Florida fans, both due to his departure, but more so because of his destination. His recent arrest clouds things but he won’t miss much time.

Sep 16, 2023; Gainesville, Florida, USA; Florida Gators running back Trevor Etienne (7) rushes with the ball during the first half against the Tennessee Volunteers at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium

5. Roydell Williams, Florida State (from Alabama)

— 1,165 yards and 11 touchdowns while splitting carries during his time at Alabama is nothing to sneeze at.

Nov 4, 2023; Tuscaloosa, Alabama, USA; LSU Tigers safety Andre Sam (14) and linebacker Omar Speights (1) cannot catch Alabama Crimson Tide running back Roydell Williams (5) as he runs for a touchdown at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Alabama defeated LSU 42-28.

Honorable mentions: Chip Trayanum, Kentucky (from Ohio State), Ja’Quinden Jackson, Arkansas (from Utah), Ja’Quavious Marks, USC (from Mississippi State), Logan Diggs, Ole Miss (from LSU), Don Chaney Jr., Louisville (from Miami), Anthony Woods, Utah (from Idaho), Jordan Waters, NC State (from Duke)
