The NCAA transfer portal has radically altered the landscape of college football over the last couple of seasons, and over 1,000 players are in the portal for football currently.

The NCAA is now (temporarily?) making a change that could make the portal even crazier for the next couple of weeks—and maybe longer.

On today’s episode of Locked On Pac-12, I go on to discuss two notable additions to the transfer portal in college football.

Stanford TE Benjamin Yurosek could fit anywhere, and Texas QB Malik Murphy could be a fit for roughly half of the current Pac-12 schools.

Bowl season kicks off this Saturday in a year in which 8 of the 12 teams will be playing in a bowl game.

I take a look at one of the first games in the LA Bowl this week as UCLA gets set to battle Boise State, champions of the Mountain West.
