10. DL Chris Thomas: Florida ⟶ ??. The lineman was one of three Gators to be dismissed from the team for reported disciplinary reasons. Thomas was originally considered a top 50 prospect at his position and among the top 500 top players overall in the 2021 recruiting class.

9. Craig Burt: Western Kentucky ⟶ ??. A former 3-star prospect for the Hilltoppers, Burt brings JUCO experience an ideal frame to the position, standing at 6-foot-4 and weighing 205 pounds, over 20 games in his career catching 40 passes for 468 yards and scoring touchdowns. 

8. QB Chance Nolan: Oregon State ⟶ ??. Nolan started 17 straight games for the Beavers over parts of the last two seasons before a neck injury prematurely ended that streak and forced him from action. He was 10-7 as the starter, passing for 4,153 yards and 32 touchdowns, running for five more scores and 508 yards.

7. WR Dominick Blaylock: Georgia ⟶ ??. A former four-star recruit, Blaylock caught five touchdown passes in a superb rookie outing for Georgia before an ACL tear in the SEC Championship and has battled through injuries since then, seeing his playing time diminish as a result. Blaylock had his best outing in 2019 when he caught 15 passes for 227 yards.

6. CB Juan Powell: East Carolina ⟶ ??. A defensive back with experience at both corner and safety racked up 113 total stops with two interceptions and four pass breakups in four seasons with the Pirates and brings two years of eligibility to a team that is in the market for a fleet-footed pass cover option.

5. DL Alton Tarber: Oklahoma ⟶ ??. Despite not playing for the Sooners this past season, it was expected the former three-star recruit would finally get prolonged involvement in 2023. If he does, it will be with another school. 

4. DL Marquis Robinson: Auburn ⟶ ??. One of a tidal wave of players to transfer after Bryan Harsin was fired, Robinson was originally one of Auburn's higher-rated prospects two classes ago, but played in just two games this past season.

3. RB Keyvone Lee: Penn State ⟶ ??. In each of his first two years at Happy Valley, Lee led the team with over 1,100 yards and six scores but was sidelined by minor injuries that cut into his playing time. Lee, at 6-foot and 225 pounds, has two more seasons left.

2. WR Gary Bryant, Jr.: USC ⟶ ??. A former top 50 recruit in the 2020 football recruiting class and No. 7 wide receiver nationally, Bryant caught 44 passes for 579 yards in 2021 as a sophomore but saw his role decline after USC's coaching staff changes, redshirting after three games into this past season.

1. DB Jaheim Singletary: Georgia ⟶ ??. The former five-star prospect and top-five cornerback in the 2022 college football recruiting class with major potential, but he redshirted during his true freshman campaign, playing in three games. Singletary is considered a burgeoning cover corner piece and was a one-time Ohio State commit out of Jacksonville.
