The UW Huskies aren't done with the transfer portal in 2025. At present, the Huskies appear to have scholarships committed to 93 players for next season. Assuming the House v. NCAA settlement does get approved in April, a team actually could distribute up to 105 football scholarships, but Huskies coach Jedd Fisch has made clear he plans to maintain the old 85-scholarship limit. The Huskies will be about halfway through their spring practice schedule by then, and some players, presumably, will have gathered enough information via practice reps to know whether they might be better off trying to play somewhere else.

Gophers head coach Ben Johnson reminded his players to not put too much stock in the actual Big Ten standings going into Saturday's game against Washington. “This was a team picked ahead of us,” Johnson relayed to reporters on Friday.

Johnson didn't want his team to get comfortable after winning three of four conference games in the last two weeks as the Huskies lost six straight games to sit in last place.
The University of Saskatchewan Huskies are in the midst of their annual player-recruiting phase, and they're also dealing with changes on the coaching staff.

Michigan football is still trying to land a couple of prospects in the 2025 cycle, but almost all attention is starting to turn toward the 2026 recruiting class. The Wolverines currently have two commitments in the class: four-star cornerback Brody Jennings and wide receiver Jaylen Pile.
