Transfer portal breakdown: On3 transfer power rankings after Week 13

Here is our 13th 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 breakdowns. These rankings fluctuate weekly.

Among the big movers this week:

+ Colorado State WR Tory Horton: Horton followed coach Jay Norvell from Nevada to Colorado State in the offseason and was the Rams’ leading receiver this season. He finished off a 71-catch, 1,131-yard, eight-touchdown season in fine fashion, catching a season-high 10 passes for 131 yards and a TD in a 17-0 win over New Mexico. Horton’s final four games: 30 receptions for 530 yards and three TDs.

+ Utah TE Dalton Kincaid: Kincaid, who transferred from FCS member San Diego after the 2019 season, finished the regular season strong. He had five catches for 102 yards and a TD as the Utes blasted Colorado 63-21. It was his third 100-yard outing of the season, and gave him 20 catches in the final three regular-season games. He leads all tight ends nationally in receptions (66), receiving yards (850) and touchdowns (eight). Kincaid and the Utes meet USC in the Pac-12 Championship Game on Friday. The Utes beat the Trojans 43-42 earlier this season, and the biggest reason was USC could not cover Kincaid. He had a staggering 16 catches for 234 yards and a TD in the win.

+ Nebraska WR Trey Palmer: Palmer finished off a record-setting season in fine fashion, with nine receptions for 165 yards and two TDs in a 24-17 upset of Iowa that knocked the Hawkeyes out of the Big Ten Championship Game. The yardage total gave Palmer 1,043 for the season, which is a single-season school record. Palmer, who transferred from LSU in the offseason, finished the season with 71 receptions, second-most in a season in school history; RB Marlon Lucky had 75 in 2007.

+ Washington QB Michael Penix Jr.: Penix, who transferred from Indiana in the offseason, put an exclamation point on a magnificent regular season with a huge performance in the Apple Cup. Penix accounted for 518 yards of total offense and five touchdowns in the Huskies’ 51-33 victory over Washington State. Penix, who leads the nation in passing, threw for 484 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 34 yards and two more scores. He had 10 completions of at least 20 yards and four of at least 40.
