Ranking the top five LBs still available in the transfer portal

The winter transfer window has officially closed but there will still be some new entries over the next few weeks as players are allowed a five-day transfer window after completing their postseason schedule.

More than 2,000 players entered the transfer portal in December and a large percentage of them have already chosen their transfer destination, but there are still plenty of impact players that remain unsigned.

This week we’re highlighting the top available transfer prospects at each position. Up next are the linebackers.

Robinson has plenty of options and is checking out USC this weekend. He’s visiting Southern Cal and the Trojans hope to keep Robinson from leaving without a commitment.

King is very familiar with the transfer process having done so two times already in his career. He has a number of programs interested in landing his commitment. Virginia has already hosted King and teams like South Carolina, Oklahoma State, Cal, UCLA, Kansas and many others have shown significant interest. King has yet to make a decision on where he’ll go so there is still time for teams to jockey for position.
