In the new era of college football, the transfer portal has become a significant component of roster construction. Throughout the college football season, On3 is breaking down the top 10 transfer portal impact players based on weekly performances. Here are the most impactful transfer portal players from Week 10:

1. Oklahoma K Tate Sandell

Oklahoma kicker and UTSA transfer Tate Sandell converted all four of his field goal attempts. He hit field goals of 55, 51, 40 and 55 yards. The 55-yarders tied his career long and tied for the longest makes in Neyland Stadium history. He tied an FBS single-game record with his three field goals of at least 50 yards. Sandell is one of only two kickers in Oklahoma history with three 50-plus-yard field goals in a single game. Sandell also became the first kicker nationally since the 2021 season with three field goals of at least 50 yards in a game.

2. Duke QB Darian Mensah

Duke pulled off its first win at Clemson since 1980 with a 46-45 victory Saturday. Tulane transfer quarterback Darian Mensah finished with 361 yards passing and a career-best four touchdown passes. He was 27 of 41 in the win, and led a comeback as the Blue Devils trailed 45-38 in the fourth quarter, leading a game-winning drive that started on their 6-yard line.

3. Virginia QB Chandler Morris

Chandler Morris and the Cavaliers continue to find ways to win, stretching their winning streak to seven games with a win over Cal. Morris was 24 of 36 for 262 passing yards in the win, which saw Virginia get to 8-1 on the season for the first time since 1990. Morris’ passing game opened up the ground game for the Cavaliers, with running back J’Mari Taylor rushing for 105 yards and two touchdowns.

4. Ole Miss RB Kewan Lacy

On a day when the Ole Miss offense struggled at times, Missouri transfer running back Kewan Lacy scored on a 54-yard run and finished the game with 167 and averaged seven yards per carry. He’s rushed for 863 yards this season and has an SEC-high 13 touchdown runs.
