Following the conclusion of the regular season, all of college football has now turned its attention to the transfer portal. 

As of Monday, December 4, there were reportedly well over 500 entrants into the portal, with players all over the country looking for more playing time, transferring because of coaching changes, or in the case of a small percentage; looking for more NIL money. Around this time last year, Stanford had lost around 20 players to the portal following the news that David Shaw stepping down as head coach, and while they do have some entrants this year, it is not nearly as many as last season.

Something that Stanford has working for them, as leaving the program without the coveted Stanford degree is about as ill-advised a decision as any. Clearly, the players have taken a liking to the new staff under Troy Taylor, which means they aren't expected to lose many people but some players have departed.

Here is a running list of players that have entered their names into the transfer portal. It will be updated daily, and will also include where they landed.
