The Demond Williams saga & Transfer Portal Madness: how to solve CFB’s biggest problems

Fox Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt breaks down the latest moves in the Transfer Portal as Oregon and Texas make big additions to reload for 2026. He also discusses what to make of Michigan’s lead RB Justice Haynes going into the Portal and Ohio State losing over 25 players into the Transfer Portal, including big recruits that have been with the team for only one season. Klatt examines whether teams need to change their recruiting philosophy in today’s era. He also disproves the narrative that Indiana is only winning because they have older players than their competition. Klatt wraps the show by laying out the fixes that would put an end to the recruiting/NIL/Transfer Portal madness that the sport is currently stuck in and why it’s critical to fix now before the best coaches in the country decide that the NFL is a more appealing option for them.
