Now that the NCAA football transfer portal is closed, teams are completing their rosters for the upcoming season. Obviously, Texas Tech's name has been brought up tons after such a successful offseason for Joey McGuire and his staff. Now looking to the upcoming season, where does Tech's historic portal class rank not only on the national stage, but against their Big 12 opponents.

Today, we look at each Big 12 school's biggest portal addition, their biggest loss, and their national ranking going into 2025.

Texas Tech (21 total commits)

Tech ranks 1st in the Big 12 portal rankings and 3rd in the nation according to Rivals. They were 6-3 in conference play and 8-5 overall.

Biggest pickup: With so many highly sought after transfers that have committed, it's hard to pick someone who was the biggest grab for the Red Raiders. As good as all of our incoming offensive threats are, I think the biggest wins were the pieces being added to the defense. We all know how our defense has not lived up to expectations, but with additions like Romello Height and David Bailey on the edge, Lee Hunter and Skylar Gill-Howard on the D-line, and Cole Wisniewski and Brice Pollock in the secondary, Tech's offense will be able to start piecing together nicely with a new defense.

Biggest loss: I think the biggest loss was Joseph Adedire. Adedire had been suffering from injuries during the spring, but McGuire spoke multiple times about how he was excited to get him back for the extra depth with the edge rushers. He entered the portal during the spring window and has committed to NC State.

Colorado (28 total commits)

The Buffs are ranked 5th in the Big 12 portal rankings and 20th nationally per Rivals. Colorado was 7-2 in conference play and 9-4 overall in their first season in the Big 12.

Biggest pickup: Kansas State S transfer Noah King, Alabama DL Jehiem Oatis, and Campbell wide receiver Sincere Brown, who had 1,028 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns.

Biggest loss: CB Colton Hood committed to Tennessee, LB Nikhai Hill-Green, committed to Alabama, and OL Cash Cleveland committed to Texas Tech.

Houston (28 total commits)

The Cougars are ranked 8th in the Big 12 portal rankings and 28th nationally according to Rivals. Houston was 3-6 last season for their second year in the conference and a 4-8 overall record.

Biggest pickup: Texas A&M transfer quarterback Conner Weigman is a huge pickup for Houston after he played a majority of the starting snaps for the Aggies. Wisconsin TE Tanner Koziol was also a huge pickup and will play nicely with Weigman.

Biggest loss: Safety A.J. Haulcy transferred to LSU and CB Jeremiah Wilson transferred to Florida State. Both were highly rated players coming out of high school.

The Mountaineers are ranked 2nd in the Big 12 portal rankings and 9th nationally according to Rivals. West Virginia finished 5-4 in the Big 12 and a 6-7 overall record.
