The college football transfer portal is nearly closed and almost all of the top quarterbacks in the country have already committed or signed with a new school. Will any others enter the portal on the final day they can do so?

Two of the biggest names came off the board Monday morning as Nebraska QB Dylan Raiola committed to Oregon and former ASU QB Sam Leavitt is headed to LSU. Raiola will likely back up Dante Moore, who announced Wednesday that he’d be returning for another season with the Ducks. Leavitt was one of the last big names on the board that hadn’t made a decision, but Lane Kiffin has apparently lured him to Baton Rouge.

There’s more clarity with Washington QB Demond Williams, who announced he’s returning to the school two days after trying to enter the transfer portal. His return to UW ended a drama-filled couple of days.

We'll be keeping track of all the notable names who are changing schools in the space below as college football prepares for its biggest transfer frenzy yet.

There is “growing concern” from Duke that QB Darian Mensah could enter the transfer portal on Friday, according to CBS Sports.

Mensah previously committed to Duke for a second season after coming over from Tulane. Programs like Ole Miss, Tennessee and Miami have been looking for experienced quarterback options and haven’t added one in the portal so far. Could one of them — or another school — be chasing after Mensah?
