2026 Transfer Portal Update Lists Multiple FCS Moves Through Feb. 13

247Sports’ transfer-portal tracker updated Feb. 13 at 4:54 p.m. CST highlighted FCS movement inside the 15-day winter window, naming Western Carolina wide receiver Taron Dickens as committed to Tarleton State and former Kansas player Jaidyn Doss landing at Northwest Missouri State. The Feb. 13 log explicitly separates both FBS and FCS activity and underscores how midwinter portal churn is reshaping rosters at the lower-division level.

That Feb. 4–13 string of updates also included several other moves that matter to FCS rosters. The tracker shows UCF running back Malakhi Boone moving to Bethune-Cookman, Sacramento State tight end Bear Tenney transferring to New Mexico, and Kent State transfer Junior Diallo heading to Tennessee Tech in the Feb. 5 update. Rice receiver Semaj Pierre appears in the Feb. 5 list as going to Howard, and two Auburn transfers, DJ Barber and Hollis Davidson III, are listed as committed to Alabama A&M on Feb. 4.

247Sports’ feed contains entries that are clear in directionality and others that require confirmation. The log lists Ray Hall leaving Western Michigan for Cal Poly and Markus Meincke from Mercer to Toledo, while several entries show a single school beside the player name without explicit origin or destination. Examples include Bruno Massel IV listed with Indiana, Charlie Mirer listed with Stanford, Javon Davis listed with McNeese, Jaeden Jones with Monmouth, Jackson Forrest with Old Dominion, Tony Hart III with Elon, and Sebastian Regis listed with Stony Brook. Cyrus Durham appears in the excerpt identified with Akron. Those single-school notations appear across Feb. 4–10 updates and merit follow-up with 247Sports or team media relations to clarify whether they represent portal entries, commitments, or roster listings.

The portal’s scale and strategic implications remain stark: the NCAA counts 10,500+ players who entered the portal across all divisions and notes 1,200+ FBS scholarship players still in the portal as of a referenced Thursday night. At the FBS level, Oklahoma State’s haul under new head coach Eric Morris reached 50 incoming transfers, a volume that included running back Caleb Hawkins, who led the FBS with 25 rushing touchdowns last season and followed Morris to Stillwater. Those volume shifts, combined with 32 new FBS head coaches this offseason, help explain why the winter window continues to ripple down into FCS recruiting and roster construction.

Analytical trackers are already parsing impact: PFF has moved into post-portal evaluation with a top-100 list using 2024–25 grades and wins above average, ESPN’s portal coverage named LSU’s additions including quarterback Sam Leavitt and receivers Eugene Wilson III, Jayce Brown, Tre’ Brown III and Winston Watkins, and On3 pushed NIL-value updates across a wide slate of programs on Feb. 2, naming schools that range from Dartmouth and Virginia to Sacramento State and UMass in its excerpt. For FCS coaches and athletic directors, those combined data sets mean portal targets and NIL calculus are now part of everyday roster management.

Reporting leads from the tracker are immediate and concrete: confirm Parker Navarro’s move from Ohio to the professional ranks, verify the directional meaning of single-school 247Sports lines for Bruno Massel IV, Charlie Mirer, Javon Davis, Jaeden Jones, Jackson Forrest and Tony Hart III, and pull the full On3 NIL feed to match valuations to named players. The Feb. 4–13 cadence shows the portal’s winter window is finished but its aftershocks are still actively remaking both FBS and FCS rosters.
