Ohio State’s work in the transfer portal isn’t finished.

The Buckeyes have added a second quarterback in the 2024 cycle, landing a commitment from Alabama transfer Julian Sayin, the No. 1 QB prospect in the 247Sports Composite.

Sayin, who played at Carlsbad (Calif.) High School, enrolled in classes at Alabama last week but was given a 30-day window to enter the portal due to Nick Saban’s retirement.

Arizona transfer quarterback Demond Williams Jr. has committed to Washington.

Alabama football received its second transfer portal commitment under new coach Kalen DeBoer late Saturday night when Washington center Parker Brailsford announced on his Instagram account he was committing to the Crimson Tide.

Brailsford started all 15 games during his redshirt freshman season in 2023 for a Washington offensive line that took home the Joe Moore Award, which is given to the nation’s best OL unit. The 6-foot-2, 275-pound lineman started 12 games at center and three at right guard. He is expected to play center at Alabama following the departures of starter Seth McLaughlin (transferred to Ohio State), backup Darrian Dalcourt (graduation) and potential starter Terrence Ferguson II (transferred to Florida State). Brailsford will have three years of eligibility remaining.

Can confirm that former Northern Iowa linebacker Jahsiah Galvan has flipped his transfer commitment from Wisconsin to Stanford. The Badgers picked up three other inside linebackers from the portal during the last few weeks.

As a redshirt freshman this season, Galvan led Northern Iowa in tackles (77) while recording 5.5 tackles for loss, four pass breakups, a forced fumble and an interception. He was named to Phil Steele’s freshman first-team All-America squad.

Washington quarterback Will Rogers has re-entered the portal as a grad transfer, The Athletic has learned.

The Mississippi State transfer is back on the market after head coach Kalen DeBoer left for Alabama. SEC's all-time leader in pass attempts and completions.

Reminder: The portal entry doesn’t automatically mean Rogers is leaving Washington. It gives him the freedom to communicate with other schools.

These days, you can’t rule out the possibility that the next head coach brings a quarterback with him.

We have an Alabama-to-Georgia transfer: Safety Jake Pope, who appeared in 11 games in 2023, mostly on special teams. Pope will have three years of eligibility at Georgia, where he offers depth and possible competition for one of the safety spots. A four-star recruit out of Buford, Ga., Pope becomes Georgia's sixth addition through the transfer portal this offseason.

Alabama WR Isaiah Bond has entered the transfer portal, The Athletic has learned. Bond led the Tide in catches with 48 for 668 yards and 4 TDs this season. He has two more seasons of eligibility. Alabama players who haven't graduated currently have a 30-day window to enter the transfer portal due to the coaching change.

Texas A&M wide receiver Evan Stewart is transferring to Oregon, he announced on Thursday night. Here’s what you need to know:

• Stewart played two seasons at Texas A&M and caught 91 passes for 1,163 yards and six touchdowns before entering the portal on Dec. 19.

Miami picked up a commitment Thursday from former Marshall defensive captain Elijah Alston, a 20-game starter who played for Hurricanes defensive coordinator Lance Guidry in 2021 and 2022. Alston, who will be a redshirt senior next season, produced 45 tackles, 11.5 for loss and six sacks last season including an 85-yard interception return for a touchdown.

He has 108 career tackles, 19.5 for loss and 9.5 sacks with four forced fumbles over 42 games. Alston committed to Texas A&M on Monday, but backed off from his pledge. He was also being pursued by Georgia.

Albany defensive lineman transfer Elijah Hills spent the first week of 2024 living out of a suitcase while flying from school to school and trying to decide his football future. It was both exhilarating and exhausting as he traveled to Tulane, Houston, West Virginia and, finally, Wisconsin.

When Hills landed in Madison on Sunday directly from his visit to Morgantown, W.V., he knew he didn’t have much time. He arrived around 10 a.m. and left campus for the airport less than six hours later because he had a return flight scheduled for 6 p.m. But Hills’ brief stay proved long enough to provide him with the information he needed to reach an important conclusion: He was ready to play for the Badgers.

Hills informed defensive line coach Greg Scruggs before he left and publicly announced his commitment Tuesday to become the 13th and potentially final scholarship transfer portal addition of this cycle.

Never mind? A day after Georgia seemed to have a new quarterback, former UNLV starter Jayden Maiava changed his mind and will go to USC. That’s at least what his father told ESPN late on Tuesday night.

Maiava himself hasn’t announced it. The initial Georgia commitment was put out by Maiava’s NIL representation group, although the player did give at least one interview. It bears noting that Maiava said publicly he was staying at UNLV only to enter the portal, so maybe this isn’t final, at least until he enrolls at USC.

But if Georgia isn’t the destination, the Bulldogs are back to where they were before, which didn’t seem a terrible spot: Carson Beck the entrenched starter, backup Gunner Stockton entering his third year and freshman Ryan Puglisi as the third scholarship quarterback. Still, the reasoning for going after Maiava was for an experienced backup in case something happened to Beck, and competition for the starter once Beck leaves. That kind of player may not be available anymore in the portal, but Georgia will keep its eye open.
