Transfer portal breakdown: On3 transfer power rankings after Week 12

Here is our 12th set of rankings of college football’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 transfer breakdowns. These rankings fluctuate weekly.

Among the big movers this week:

+ USC QR Jordan Addison: Addison, who won the Biletnikoff Award last season at Pitt, had been bothered by a leg injury the past three weeks. But he was healthy – and productive – in the Trojans’ epic win over UCLA. Addison had 11 receptions for 178 yards and a TD in the 48-45 victory. It was his first game with double-digit receptions this season and the fourth of his career. The yardage total was his highest this season and the third-highest of his career; it also was his fourth 100-yard outing as a Trojan.

+ Fresno State QB Jake Haener: Haener continued his sterling play after returning from an ankle injury that caused him to miss four games. He threw for 361 yards and two TDs as the Bulldogs blasted UNLV 41-14 to clinch a spot in the Mountain West title game. In the past four games, Haener is 115-of-150 (76.7 percent) for 1,395 yards, 12 TDs and two interceptions. His season average of 321.3 yards per game is third nationally. Washington’s Michael Penix Jr. is No. 1 nationally, and we mention that because Haener transferred from Washington in August 2019.

+ Central Michigan EDGE Thomas Incoom: Incoom continued his late-season dominance in the Chippewas’ 12-10 loss to rival Western Michigan. He had two sacks and three tackles for loss, giving him 11.5 and 18.5, respectively, on the season. Incoom, who transferred from Division II Valdosta State after the 2019 season, has 12.5 TFL in the past six games.

+ South Carolina WR Antwane Wells Jr.: Gamecocks QB Spencer Rattler had one of the best games of his career and Wells was a beneficiary in a 63-38 demolition of Tennessee. Wells, who transferred from James Madison in the offseason, had 11 catches for 177 yards. The receptions total was a season-high, while the yardage total was his second-highest of the season and his third 100-yard game as a Gamecock.

On to the rankings.
