Rivals rankings director/transfer portal analyst Adam Friedman has three predictions on top targets for the Big Ten and SEC in the portal, who will be the best pass rusher in the portal this spring and which quarterback will lead their team to the Big Ten title.

THE SEC AND BIG TEN WILL BEEF UP THEIR DEFENSIVE FRONTS
If you root for a college football team, chances are they are going to try to sign at least one front seven defender during the spring transfer window. Every coach, general manager and player personnel assistant has been talking about how they need to bring in at least one more defender to solidify their defense. Surprisingly though, the ACC and Big 12 so far have signed more transfers in the defensive front seven than the SEC and Big Ten.

Maybe some of the second- and third-string defenders in the SEC and Big Ten decided to look for more playing time in other conferences, but that has left the two top conferences in need of players who can, in most cases, act as insurance policies in case the starters go down with an injury.
Every team needs another pass rusher, of course, but it’s a bit uncommon to hear teams lament the fact that they need more interior defenders. It seems there aren’t enough college football players at the higher levels who have the size necessary to make an impact on defenses the way college coaches have become accustomed to.
In other words, demand is far outpacing supply, and that will lead to soaring prices when the transfer portal opens later this month.
