NC State football transfer portal tracker: Who is joining, leaving Wolfpack?
NC State football will close the 2023 season against Kansas State at the Pop-Tarts Bowl, but there’s plenty of action to follow off the field for the 19th-ranked Wolfpack.
The transfer portal opened Dec. 4 for most players, while graduate transfers and those affected by coaching changes were allowed to enter immediately. There’s been movement for NC State before the team heads to Orlando, Florida, for its bowl game.
We’ll update this story throughout the offseason as players make their decisions in college football’s version of free agency. The first transfer window lasts 30 days. The second window is open for 15 days in late April.
Here’s who’s coming and going for the Wolfpack.
