With the spring transfer window now closed, it is time to take a look at the top five players who are still available as of Friday, May 9th.
1. LB Andrew Simpson – Boise State
Simpson was a productive defensive playmaker during his three seasons with the Broncos. Totaling 141 tackles, 32 tackles for loss, 12.5 sacks, three interceptions and five forced fumbles, he is a difference maker at the linebacker position. North Carolina, USC and Miami have been under consideration. The Tar Heels were thought to be the heavy favorite, but with the Tar Heels recently picking up another transfer linebacker (Jonathan Agumadu) his recruitment has become more of a mystery.
2. LB Mohamed Toure – Rutgers
While injuries, which have cost him the 2022 and 2024 seasons, have slowed his career, when healthy he has been very productive. In his last two seasons, in 2021 and 2023, he totaled 144 tackles, 18 tackles for loss and nine tackles for loss. Toure has taken visits to Miami, Penn State, Indiana and North Carolina, with the Canes the likely destination now that the Nittany Lions and Tar Heels have recently received commitments from other transfer linebackers.

3. OL Andre Roye Jr. – Maryland
A 6-fooot-6, 294-pound redshirt sophomore, Roye started seven games at left tackle during the 2024 season. This was after he redshirted in 2022 and then saw the field for six games during the 2023 season. While he doesn’t possess an abundance of experience, he showed enough during his seven games last season to gain the attention of several programs across the country. While his process has been quiet, some of the schools that are involved include Colorado, Baylor, Florida State, Rutgers and Louisville.

4. CB Delvon Gulley – Alabama A&M
At 6-foot-1, 185-pounds, Gulley was an FCS Freshman All-American during the 2024 season after totaling 29 tackles, two interceptions and four pass deflections with the Bulldogs. He has already taken a visit to Alabama and most recently to UAB, while also garnering interest from schools like Iowa, Liberty, UConn, Virginia and NC State.
5. WR Trejan Bridges – Central Arkansas
Along with Theo Wease and Jason Haselwood, Bridges was part of a five-star wide receiver group that signed with Oklahoma in 2019. However, in two seasons he only totaled nine receptions for 101 yards and two touchdowns before facing serious legal charges during the spring of 2021. This led him to be dismissed from the Sooners, then a JUCO season and finally a move to Central Arkansas. During his one season in the FCS he totaled 53 receptions for 748 yards and six touchdowns. He has taken official visits to Syracuse and Maryland.
