Transfer portal breakdown: On3 transfer power rankings after Week 10

Here is our 10th 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:

+ Purdue WR Charlie Jones: While the Boilermakers fell 24-3 to Iowa, Jones had personal success against his former teammates. He caught 11 passes for 104 yards; it was his third consecutive 100-yard game and his third consecutive outing with double-digit receptions. Jones, who transferred from Iowa after last season, leads the Big Ten and is second nationally with 83 receptions. He also leads the Big Ten in receiving yards (944) and is second in TD receptions (nine).

+ SMU QB Tanner Mordecai: Mordecai, who transferred from Oklahoma after the 2020 season, accounted for 433 yards and 10 touchdowns as the Mustangs beat Houston 77-63 in one of the most offense-oriented games in NCAA history. The teams set a single-game record for combined points in regulation. Mordecai finished 28-of-37 for 379 yards and nine touchdowns; he also rushed for 54 yards and a score. He guided the Mustangs to 642 yards of offense (Houston had 710, and Cougars QB Clayton Tune threw seven TD passes himself.)

+ BYU WR Puka Nacua: Nacua, who transferred from Washington after the 2020 season, has emerged as a force in the past month for the Cougars. He had 14 receptions for 157 yards and two TDs, including the game-winner with 1:46 left, as BYU edged Boise State 31-28. He has 40 catches on the season and 36 have come in the past four games. His 14 receptions against the Broncos were a career-high, while the yardage total was the second-highest of his career.

+ Oregon QB Bo Nix: Nix has become a TD machine. For the third week in a row and the sixth time this season, Nix – who transferred from Auburn in the offseason – accounted for at least four touchdowns in a Ducks win. He has accounted for at least three TDs eight times. Saturday, Nix led the Ducks to an easy 49-10 victory over Colorado. He threw for 274 yards and two scores; rushed for 16 yards and two other scores; and also caught a touchdown pass as the Ducks piled up 479 yards of offense. He was 20-of-24 passing against the Buffs, the fourth consecutive game he has completed at least 77 percent of his passes. And he has guided Oregon to at least 40 points in eight consecutive games.

On to the rankings.
