In the transfer portal era, retaining star players has become just as important as adding them.
Liberty, which won the Conference USA Championship in its first season in the league in 2023, lost quarterback Kaidon Salter, the Group of Five Player of the Year a couple years ago. That will certainly change how the Flames approach the offseason.
But two other top teams in CUSA, Jacksonville State and Sam Houston, are going through coaching changes. That could change the complexion of the league as well, as some of their players may not want to stick around.
Here’s a look at players who have left CUSA teams and who have joined programs in the league going into 2025, according to On3.
