ACC football transfer portal additions: One newcomer for each team ready to make impact in 2024 season

The 2024 college football season will feature a new-look ACC with 17 football members after California, Stanford and SMU join officially this summer. And across the conference there is a wide range of approaches to the transfer portal, with schools like Florida State and Louisville using highly ranked transfer classes to help power runs to the ACC Championship Game, while other schools pick and choose their spots. 

Below, we have named one player from the transfer portal class for each ACC team that should have an immediate impact on the 2024 season.

Meanwhile, Wake Forest, Virginia Tech, Stanford and Clemson all have five or fewer.

Coach Dabo Swinney and his staff recruit at a high level out of high school and often go toe to toe with the other top programs in the sport, but they have not seen as much of an influx from the portal as other conference title contenders from across the country.
