In This Edition, you’ll get a tracker of FBS and FCS quarterback transfer portal entries and commitments. This is updated as news breaks, so refresh the page for updates heading into the 2024 season.
The Gunslinger Buzz is a college football newsletter that gives subscribers inside access to quarterback recruiting, transfer portal, depth chart and injury news. The QB Depth Charts & Injury Reports provide the latest updates inside every FBS and FCS quarterback room, while the QB Recruiting Report includes exclusive recruiting and transfer portal scoops every week.

The first transfer portal window was Dec. 4, 2023-Jan. 2, 2024, and players who competed in bowl games, FCS playoffs or College Football Playoff received an extra five days to enter the portal after their contest.

In addition to the newsletter, you won’t find more accurate recruiting, transfer portal and Juco QB trackers on the internet. The Master Calendar makes the in-season and offseason schedule easier to follow with upcoming QB visits and commitments. The FBS and FCS depth charts & injury reports are updated daily during the season.
The spring transfer window is April 16-30, 2024, and graduate transfers must enter the portal by May 1, 2024. Also, players can enter the portal within 30 days after a head coaching change. Just to make things a little more confusing, the SEC has a rule where players cannot transfer to another school within the conference unless they entered the portal by Feb. 1, 2024. These dates are only for entry, and players can choose their next school at any time.
Keep in mind, an NCAA waiver process exists where players can become immediately eligible without fitting any of the above criteria depending on the specific situation.
Some players will withdraw from the transfer portal and return to their original program, though teams are not obligated to welcome them back. Finally, a player may continue playing for his team while in the portal, which happens a decent amount during bowl season.
Multi-time transfers are eligible to play immediately in this transfer portal cycle, and it seems likely that will become a permanent rule moving forward.
The transfer portal is not public, but I’m confident this is the most accurate resource for transfer QB information on the internet.
