Welcome to RealDawg.com’s Transfer Portal Tracker.  With the 45-day window for the NCAA Football Transfer Portal opening on Monday December the 5th, expect that the Huskies are looking for players to continue to build towards a national championship-contending team.  With two Washington players announcing their intention to leave the program, it will open up a couple of roster spots for the 2023 season.

Specifically, the Huskies will be looking for a few defenders to help out with either depth or to come in and make an instant impact.  However, key offensive losses for Washington will be minimal as there are already players with significant playing time ready to step in and fill the need.

The biggest positions of need for the Huskies are at linebacker and defensive back, but with Kuao Peihopa leaving Montlake the Huskies will be looking to add depth at that position.

RealDawg.com will track the Transfer Portal activities.
