The college football transfer portal is closed, which means that NCAA players on the gridiron who want to transfer right now are out of luck.
Well, unless you find a loophole. That's what UCLA's Karson Gordon has done.
Gordon has entered the transfer portal as a track and field athlete, according to On3 Sports.
The track and field portal opened on Thursday and will remain open until June 26, so Gordon could enter there.
Even though that's the sport he's in for the portal, "Gordon can sign with any program as a two-sport athlete, meaning he can join any interested football program ahead of the upcoming Fall semester," according to On3 Sports.
That article adds that Gordon does indeed intend to play football at the school he ends up at.
Gordon was a high school quarterback in the Class of 2024, a three-star dual-threat QB.
On UCLA's latest roster, Gordon is listed as a wide receiver.
It's not clear where he'd play at a new school, although he definitely has speed, reportedly running as fast as 4.28 seconds.
Gordon was a high school national champion in the triple jump at the 2023 Nike Outdoor Nationals, and he last competed for the Bruins in 2025 during the indoor season.
He was meant to be a QB at UCLA, but when Nico Iamaleava came to town, that essentially pushed him to a position change.
Now, it sounds like Gordon wants to be a quarterback elsewhere, and he'll use his prowess as a triple jumper to give him a transfer portal window that most college football players don't have access to.
