Recruiting never sleeps.
Not in the transfer portal era.
The Colorado State football team has finished spring practices but is still putting the finishing touches on the roster for the 2025 season.
There are two transfer portal periods in college football. One comes in December at the end of the regular season. The other comes in April. Players who intend to transfer must enter the portal during this time, but they don’t have to commit to a new school during the portal opening.
The spring portal is closed, which means there shouldn’t be more player exits, but commits are still incoming.
Here’s a look at the ins and outs for CSU in the spring portal period:
This will be updated with any new movement in the portal.
