Everything we know about the transfer portal in College Football 25 Dynasty mode

As you are working through recruiting players and building out your coaching staff in your College Football 25 Dynasty mode playthrough, you'll also have to navigate the transfer portal. And, according to the developers, this process will be, "authentically unpredictable."

To this end, the transfer portal will act in a somewhat random and uncontrolled way, but each transfer will be motivated by the same initial pitch that they were originally. However, some of their motivations may change as they go through school.

The biggest difference between traditional recruiting and the transfer portal in College Football 25 Dynasty mode is the speed at which the process moves. The transfer portal will be faster, but the rhythm of getting them on your campus will be very similar to recruiting.

The last thing to note in the transfer portal comes down to the quality of the player you are attempting to bring in. According to the developers, higher-tiered players, much like in real life, will only consider a smaller number of schools.

"Since four and five star prospects are in the highest demand and they know more concretely what they are looking for, they will only consider five schools. If you are not in their top five, you will not be able to talk with them. Lower star rated prospects will vary in terms of the number of schools they are considering. Some will be completely open, while others will have as few as three schools they are considering."

In the end, how you recruit and navigate the transfer portal in College Football 25 is up to you. Best of luck out there!
