247Sports’ Feb. 17 transfer-portal snapshot highlights several concrete FCS impacts, led by West Georgia’s addition of Northern Colorado defensive lineman David Hoage, who became the first FCS All‑American in program history, and Montana’s signing of Eastern Washington wide receiver Michael Wortham, who had a record-setting year and helped the Grizzlies reach the semifinals.

The tracker, which notes “This tracker will be updated daily. Please refresh the page for the latest version of the table,” lists entries and commitments that either originated from or landed at FCS programs and includes sections labeled FB Transfer Rankings and Transfer Portal Info. The tracker also instructs users to use a laptop or desktop for best viewing and to rotate mobile devices horizontally to see the full table.

The scale of movement remains massive: “Over 10,000 college football players have entered the transfer portal this offseason,” a figure reflected in the volume captured in the Feb. 17 snapshot. Portal timing and rule changes compressed recruiting windows; “The deadline simply closes the door on who can enter next - not on where players already in the portal will land,” and “Visits remain ongoing, conversations are still happening and roster spots are still being filled,” a pair of process observations that explain why commitments continue after formal windows close.

The raw 247Sports log preserved repeated and dated entries from last summer that appear in the tracker’s rolling feed. On 08/27/25 Jeremiah Jones is listed alongside South Florida and Wittenberg, and the Jeremiah Jones pairing also appears under an 08/23/25 update. Armend Ujkashi appears as linked to Winona State and Missouri State, while TJ Finley is listed with Tulane and Georgia State in the same capture that also contains the name Armend Ujkashi on the following line. Jack Storey shows recurring entries tying him to Eastern Michigan and South Florida on 08/03/25, 08/11/25 and 07/31/25, and Dane Pardridge appears twice with Northern Illinois and Rutgers on 08/02/25 and 08/05/25. The 247Sports feed contains a fragmented Keenen Hatcher string that lists Iowa and Drake in one instance and Coastal Carolina and Lenoir-Rhyne in another, indicating verification or formatting duplication in the live updates.

FCS programs have used the portal to reshape rosters with demonstrable results. Tennessee Tech’s last-year portal group - Kekoa Visperas (Eastern Washington), Drew Wilder (Eastern Illinois), Quintell Quinn (Texas Southern) and Noah Robinson (Robert Morris) - is credited with helping the Golden Eagles win their first conference title in nearly 50 years. UC Davis’ addition of Jacob Psyk from Harvard is listed in the tracker with the note that he “led the Aggies in sacks and tackles for loss this season,” while Montana’s Michael Wortham entry underscores how a single transfer can upgrade a playoff-caliber air attack.

National-level movement continues to ripple down. Dylan Raiola committed to Oregon after missing the final month of 2025 with a leg injury and with two years of eligibility remaining; Duke quarterback Darian Mensah planned to enter the portal despite a multiyear deal that pays him $4 million annually; USC freshman Husan Longstreet entered the portal after a season as Jayden Maiava’s backup. The Feb. 17 247Sports snapshot captures that ecosystem effect: power-conference churn feeds opportunity at the FCS level, and the daily-updated tracker remains a primary place to watch the shifting roster landscape.
