Part of the 2022 recruiting class, Brownlow-Dindy was a five-star prospect in the On3 Industry Ranking — a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. Brownlow-Dindy was rated as the No. 13 overall player in the class and the No. 5 player at his position. He was heavily recruited by the likes of Alabama, Oklahoma, Ohio State and more before choosing to play for the Aggies.

Brownlow-Dindy appeared in eight games over three seasons in College Station, accruing four total tackles, including three TFLs.

He will have two years of eligibility remaining at his next destination.

More on the NCAA Transfer Portal

The college football transfer portal is scheduled to be open for 30 days during the 2024-25 academic year. The portal will open at the end of the regular season, the day after the College Football Playoff field and bowl games are announced. According to the NCAA, the portal will open for business Monday, Dec. 9, 2024, and close on Dec. 28.

The spring window in April remains. The portal will only be 10 days, lasting from April 16, 2025, and shutting down on April 25, 2025. The transfer portal will open for 30 days whenever a head coach leaves their program, allowing athletes to leave and decide on their future, according to NCAA guidelines.

With the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff, the postseason will be longer. Athletes on teams that compete in the College Football Playoff and later bowl game will be allowed to enter an additional five-day transfer portal window in January after the portal closes.

More than 2,800 FBS scholarship players entered their names into the NCAA’s transfer database during the 2023-24 school year. Removing those who withdrew or went pro, the final total sat at 2,707 transfers — meaning that roughly 25% of all FBS scholarship players hit free agency in one year.
