The college football transfer portal will open Friday, January 2 and close at 11:59 p.m. on Friday, January 16. It will be the only transfer portal window of the year for college football, as the NCAA moved to eliminate the spring transfer window earlier this year. Players do not have to have committed to and signed with a new school by the end of the transfer window on January 16, but will have to officially enter their name in before then.
Here’s an up-to-date tracker of which UNC players have announced their intentions to transfer:
“This year, we have a better understanding of what’s in the portal, what could be in the portal, what kind of players we want from the portal that fit what we have to do here at North Carolina,” UNC general manager Michael Lombardi told the media in December. “And so we have to be ready to be able to fill the spots that we have to.”
Prior to the 2025 season, Lombardi and head coach Bill Belichick executed a massive upheaval of UNC’s roster, bringing in 70 new players between incoming freshmen and transfers. Notable incoming transfers included quarterback Gio Lopez and defensive end Melkart Abou-Jaoude, while notable players to leave UNC via the transfer portal included defensive end Beau Atkinson (Ohio State) and linebacker Amare Campbell (Penn State).
UNC finished the 2025 season with a 4-8 record, missing a bowl game for the first time since 2018.
