The transfer portal giveth, and the transfer portal taketh
The FCS has been impacted negatively and positively by the portal. Several FCS standouts have moved to the FBS. But the FCS has also seen many FBS transfers have a huge impact on their team.
Last year, there were 2.5 times more FBS-to-FCS transfers than FCS-to-FBS transfers. Entering the 2023 season, there are 1.5 times more FBS-to-FCS transfers than FCS-to-FBS transfers.
Below is a list of FCS schools bringing in the most Division 1 (FCS/FBS) transfers for the 2023 season.
