The spring window opens at an interesting time because many college programs are still in the middle of spring practice. That could mean less of an ambush of players entering the portal on opening day and more fluidity throughout the window as spring games are played and depth charts are solidified. Here are three teams that could be the most active this time around:
Alabama: The Crimson Tide are under the scholarship limit, and the spring window will give coach Kalen DeBoer his first true chance to bring in players of his choice since being hired in January. Kadyn Proctor, the former Alabama tackle who transferred to Iowa but has since informed the Hawkeyes he plans to re-enter the portal, is the player to watch. Proctor has said he plans to return to Tuscaloosa. Needs: Offensive line, cornerback
Washington: Speaking of DeBoer, the Huskies’ portal activity is another result of a later-than-usual coaching change.

As it stands, this roster is young, so it’s probable the Huskies go shopping for some experience. Needs: Offensive line, running back, tight end
Miami: Mario Cristobal faces what feels like a make-or-break third season in Coral Gables. Former leading rusher Henry Parrish Jr. plans to transfer, so the Canes surely will search for his replacement in the portal. Expectations are high with Washington State transfer Cam Ward leading the offense, and Miami will want to use this portal window to ensure he has all of the tools he needs around him.
