Yes, I would say most first-time transfers are either guys who want more playing time, guys whose coaches were hired away or fired, or guys whose stock is just too high for them to pass up the NIL opportunities presented elsewhere.
Here is pretty much all of the guys who hit the transfer portal after the last two seasons who were actually starting or getting a lot of playing time:
Chandler Morris - transferred from TCU
DT Sheffield - transferred from Wash State
Oscar Hammond - transferred from UCO
Tyler Mercer - signed out of HS by Morris
Chandler Rogers - transferred from ULM
Ja’Mori Maclin - transferred from Mizzou
Trey Cleveland - transferred from TTU
Jordan Smart - transferred from UTPB
Ayo Adeyi - transferred from Harding
Oscar Adaway - signed out of HS by Littrell
Ethan Miner - transferred from Ark State
Febechi Nwaiwu - former walkon brought in by Littrell
Phil Hill - transferred from UNLV
Logan Wilson - transferred from ULM
Patrick Smith - signed out of HS by Littrell
By and large, the key players who we have lost to the portal were transfers here.
