Thought I'd list some more notable players that, perhaps, have not been mentioned in this thread thus far? Those in Bold, are the ones I'd like to hi-light. Those that have their schools hi-lighted, are also worth noting. .... (P.S. I compiled this list over the last 4 days, Bucky has done great job and added video for several players).

*** Thanks Leo, I added some QB's this time. The MAC really took a beating in the early days of the Transfer portal, as the exodus of stars really hit them hard. They are going to better football programs, which is expected. Obviously, had the portal been around 9 years ago, Maxx Crosby would've never been drafted from Eastern Michigan. Akron and Miami-Ohio really took a beating, it appears. But now (final portal days) they (MAC schools) are getting the ex-3 and 4-stars that struggled to get playing time at the power schools, plus some FCS stars looking to move up. MAC player I'm most interested in is Ohio RB Duncan Brune, a European (Frankfurt), who's mother was a big time Olympic swimming star. Hope Brune moves up, but if he can't, Ohio is a decent spot. Ben Minich leaving Notre Dame for Miami-Ohio was a big get, I hope.
***L Bryant. Glad to see Cole Adams landed at Vanderbilt; stayed in the SEC. Would not be a bad thing if Vandy and few other SEC teams would go the "Indiana route" and give some more talented White athletes a shot. Adams, Bray Hubbard, Kyle Simpson and several others where big time White recruits at skill positions back in 2023 (I think). Quite surprising, and astray from the norm, for a Nick Saban recruiting class. I guess if Simpson goes to the NFL, Hubbard would be the only one left?
