The best portal classes in the Power Four…


1. Ole Miss

— Lane Kiffin and his staff worked endlessly in the portal and have revamped a lot of the roster. I see the defensive impact being the most important led by Walter Nolen, Trey Amos and others. This could be the group that allows them to make a playoff run.

2. Ohio State

— RB Quinshon Judkins, DB Caleb Downs, and QB Julian Sayin lead a small but very strong group.

3. Oregon

— Dan Lanning is recruiting well at the high school level and adding elite talent like QB Dillon Gabriel and WR Evan Stewart via the portal. Is a title run coming?

4. Georgia

— Is there a superstar in here? Nope. But some key positional needs are met and depth is added as Kirby Smart supplements his roster with smart portal gets.

5. Alabama

— With a new coach, a roster overhaul often comes and Kalen DeBoer has done a great job maintaining the structure of the roster while adding a large class led by some of his own players from Washington.
