The NCAA transfer portal continues to produce an almost endless stream of activity, with athletes moving to and from HBCU programs across divisions around the country in 2023.
Black college football programs have been the beneficiaries of FBS players looking to find spots — and immediate opportunities — on HBCU rosters.
