The three Utah FBS programs are a good example. I’ve also added BSU for regional content
The 2021 recruiting class - signees and transfers. I used 247 Sports for the data. For transfers, the rating was the rating at the time the originally signed on to a program.
BSU
17 signees 3* (17)
5 transfers 3* (3), 2* (2)
3 of the transfers came from P5 programs
BYU
16 signees 3* (16)
5 transfers 4* (1), 3* (4)
4 of the transfers came from P5 programs
USU
4 signees 3* (4)
10 transfers 3* (8) 2* (2)
6 of the transfers came from P5 programs
Utah
15 signees 4* (4), 3* (11)
8 transfers 4* (6), 3* (2)
All of the transfers came from P5 programs
Many programs, especially at the P5 level, now have a recruiting staff that is dedicated solely to finding candidates within the transfer portal.
