It feels like forever ago when Howard declared that he was entering the transfer portal. Despite having many suitors and playing the premier position in the sport, he hasn’t landed anywhere yet.

Most recently he’s been tied to USC after Caleb Williams declared for the NFL Draft and former five-star Malachi Nelson entered the portal. Howard will make a good addition for his next team. His career totals of 5,786 passing yards, 48 passing touchdowns and 19 rushing touchdowns means his next team is getting a proven commodity.

Caldwell is a stout player at 6-foot-1, 325 pounds. He’s definitely a space-eater who commands and holds his own against double teams. In his last 20 games he totaled 38 tackles, 12 TFL and 8.5 sacks.

His options may be limited because teams are looking for players with different measurables now but he’s a productive, veteran player.

Biddle was a four-star in the 2022 class and entered the portal with three years of eligibility remaining. He flipped to TCU after being part of coach Sonny Dykes' class at SMU before he took the TCU job.

Biddle only appeared in four games in 2023 which is likely part of the reason he is looking for a new opportunity. There is a lot of talk that he could reunite with former high school teammate Jordan Hudson at SMU.

Davis played in seven games with three starts this season and collected 13 tackles, one tackle for loss and one pass breakup. Davis was a big-time recruit in the 2020 cycle and he went to Clemson out of high school in Jacksonville.

Davis is a long and lean corner that teams will take a look at. He went into the portal as a grad transfer and will have two years of eligibility left.

For most of the 2023 season, Sanders was Iowa State’s top rushing threat but things seemed out of place when he didn’t travel in the Cyclones' last road game of the season.

Sanders led the team in carries with 102 rushes. His 477 yards were second on the team and he also had four touchdowns.

He could be looking to get closer to Arizona, where he is originally from.
