Transfer Tracker: Wyoming WR chooses SEC

Mark Pszonak contributed to this report.

The transfer portal never stops grinding. A few days after taking an official visit to USC, and days before scheduled visits to Tennessee and Texas, Wyoming transfer wide receiver Isaiah Neyor decided there was no reason to delay his decision with a commitment to the Vols.

Recruiting: Neyor held offers from Stephen F. Austin and Incarnate Word before Wyoming offered in mid-December. A couple of days later he committed to the Cowboys.

At Wyoming: Neyor had a breakout 2021 season with 44 receptions for 878 yards and 12 touchdowns. He averaged 20.0 yards per reception this season and 21.7 yards during his two seasons with the Cowboys.

Farrell’s Take: Neyor is a big receiver who is a long strider and deep threat every time he steps on the field. He was outstanding this past season and has improved as a route runner but it’s his home run ability that everyone raves about. A Texas native, many felt he'd head back home but the fit at Tennessee was too much to pass up. He has the ability to be a Cordarrelle Patterson kind of talent in Knoxville. He is an absolute difference maker with that size.

IMPACT METER

The Transfer Portal continues to change the way college football programs recruit and manage their rosters so we here at Rivals.com continue to evolve our coverage. Each time a player of note enters the portal, we will examine their potential impact on the college football landscape and assign an impact rating, both when they enter the portal and when they choose a destination. The scale is from 1-10 and the description below explains the scoring scale.

1.1-4.0 — Not a big impact expected, likely a non-starter and down the bench depth player.

4.1- 6.0 — A solid impact can be expected in the right scenario and has the potential to battle for a starting job.

6.1-9.0. — A high impact player who won’t change a program but will certainly be a very good contributor and starter.

9.1- 9.9 — A very high impact player who should start the moment he steps on the field and will change the outlook of a program immediately.

10 — A franchise transfer who has a chance to be an All American and one of the elite players in college football.
