SEC Football: Each team’s biggest transfer portal addition since 2018
By Matt Melton
Ole Miss Rebels – QB Jaxson Dart
One of SEC football’s most active teams in the transfer portal since 2018, Dart is the pick for Ole Miss, however there are certainly a few others that you could select here as well. Returning for the Rebels this season, Dart transferred from USC prior to the 2022 season, completing 62.4% of his passes for 2,974 yards with a 20:11 TD:INT ratio a year ago, while also rushing for 614 yards and a score on 128 attempts.
Other Notables: S Otis Reese, LB Chance Campbell, RB Zach Evans
South Carolina Gamecocks – QB Spencer Rattler
Yet another quarterback set to return for the 2023 SEC football season, Rattler is the likely pick for South Carolina. A former five-star prospect out of high school, Rattler transferred from Oklahoma prior to the 2022 campaign, and would complete 66.2% of passes for 3,026 yards with an 18:12 TD:INT ratio last season, while also rushing for three more touchdowns.
Other Notables: WR Antwane Wells, TE Nick Muse, RB Tavien Feaster
Tennessee Volunteers – QB Hendon Hooker
One of the more known picks on this list, even despite numerous transfers having made an impact at Tennessee since 2018, Hooker is the obvious choice for the Volunteers. After transferring from Virginia Tech prior to the 2021 season, Hooker was the Volunteers starting quarterback during the 2021-22 seasons, completing a combined 68.8% of his passes for 6,080 yards with a 58:5 TD:INT ratio, while also rushing for 1,046 yards and 10 touchdowns on 270 attempts.
Other Notables: OT Cade Mays, WR Velus Jones Jr., QB Joe Milton III
