UNLV EDGE Antonio Doyle enters NCAA transfer portal

UNLV EDGE Antonio Doyle has entered the NCAA transfer portal with a do not contact tag, per On3’s Pete Nakos. Doyle began his career at Texas A&M and is a former top-100 recruit.

He recorded 6.5 sacks in 2024 for the Rebels, his lone year with the program. Despite spending just one season in Las Vegas, he left his mark on the program by recording career-high numbers across the board. Doyle ended the year with 56 total tackles, three pass breakups and the aforementioned sack total.

Wherever Doyle lands, it will be the fourth program he’s played for in his collegiate career. After seeing minimal action in College Station as a true freshman, he transferred to Jackson State to play for Deion Sanders in 2022. Playing in just two games that season, he remained at Jackson State for another year after Coach Prime took the Colorado job and had the best season of his career to that point.

That led to his strong 2024 season at UNLV, and now it appears as though Doyle wants to test the transfer portal waters once again for his fifth season of college football.

Coming out of high school, Doyle was the No. 96 overall player in the 2020 recruiting class, per the On3 Industry Rankings, a proprietary algorithm that compiles ratings and rankings from all four primary recruiting media services. A four-star recruit, he was a No. 13 linebacker in the class and No. 5 player out of his home state of Missouri.

An Army All-American coming out of high school, Doyle held offers from Missouri, Oklahoma, Illinois, Auburn and others. He was originally committed to Missouri in 2019 but flipped to the Aggies months later.

The winter portal window originally opened on Monday, Dec. 9, 2024, and closed on Dec. 28. For the upcoming spring window, it will take place from April 16 through April 25 — much shorter and will serve as the final window ahead of the 2025-26 college football season.

Last year, 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. That means roughly 25 percent of all FBS scholarship players hit free agency in one year. It remains to be seen how those numbers stack up during the 2024-25 school year.
