Here is the second set of rankings of the 2022 season’s most impactful transfers. This considers all four-year transfers, not just those who changed teams this offseason.
First is an overall transfer ranking; following that are position-by-position breakdowns.
This is not simply a list of the most talented players out of the transfer portal . Talent and potential certainly are considered. But so are past performance, importance to their team and current production.
These transfer rankings will fluctuate weekly.
