Pac-12 Hotline: Jon Wilner's final pass at the Pac-12's transfer portal power ratings for football finds USC and Colorado at the top, with the Arizona Wildcats moving up a spot.
Jon Wilner The Pac-12's dizzying 2022-23 transfer cycle is coming to a close after several hundred players passed through the portal over a six-month span. Some of them did so twice.
1. USCThe Trojans understandably focused on the defensive line with Kyon Barrs , Jack Sullivan , Anthony Lucas and Bear Alexander , who had two tackles for losses and a sack in the national title game. New faces at the skill positions were not nearly as head-turning as during the first offseason under Lincoln Riley, but receiver Dorian Singer should quickly become one of Caleb Williams’ favorite targets. And, crucially, the Trojans were not hit hard by attrition.
4. WashingtonTwo five-star recruits from a previous era, edge rusher Sav’ell Smalls and quarterback Sam Huard, are among UW's 20 listed departures in the 247Sports.com database. The collection of newcomers appears impactful and includes offensive tackle Jalen Klemm , tailbacks Dillon Johnson and Daniyel Ngata and receiver Germie Bernard . The Huskies have a substantial returning core from their breakthrough season and didn’t require major changes.
7. ArizonaOur assessment of Arizona has brightened this spring, thanks largely to Colorado. The Boulder exodus resulted in two impact players joining the Wildcats: receiver Montana Lemonious-Craig, who had 23 receptions last season, and edge rusher Taylor Upshaw, who spent five years at Michigan and a few months at Colorado before settling in Tucson. They join an incoming group that includes Oregon linebacker Justin Flowe, a former blue-chip prospect.
10. Arizona StateIf not for Colorado, ASU would stand as the Pac-12's most active portal participant. All in all, the Sun Devils lost and gained approximately 60 players. The incoming group features two quarterbacks, Drew Pyne and Jacob Conover , plus a notable late addition in receiver Jordyn Tyson, who averaged 21.4 yards per catch last season for Colorado. But the emphasis for first-year coach Kenny Dillingham was on the line of scrimmage.
