As men’s college programs reload and prepare for the 2025 season, the transfer portal provides one avenue for roster growth.
By adding transfers, programs are able to find proven players who bring experience and other intangibles that incoming freshmen can’t yet provide, because they haven’t been at that level yet.
Players opt to transfer for various reasons. Maybe it’s a career reboot, maybe it was a coaching change at their previous school, or maybe it’s a decision based on academic interests.
To keep track of who’s going where across men’s soccer in the region, New England Soccer Journal has its transfer tracker for the 2025 season.
