Transfer Portal Madness: OU QB Jackson Arnold & UK WR Dane Key, SEC 2025 Early Signing Day Recap

On today's show, we react to the Transfer Portal Madness as two former SEC starting quarterbacks, Jackson Arnold and Conner Weigman, make headlines by entering the portal. Arnold, a former five-star recruit, had an up-and-down season at Oklahoma, while Weigman, also a top recruit, struggled with injuries at A&M. Both are now looking for new opportunities. Which SEC team do you think would benefit most from adding one of these quarterbacks? Also big news from the SEC as star wide receiver Dane Key from Kentucky enters the transfer portal instead of the NFL draft. With 126 catches and over 1,800 yards in his college career, Key is a hot prospect. His decision to leave Kentucky, where he was a hometown hero, is a significant loss for the Wildcats. Where do you think Dane Key will make the biggest impact next season?

In addition, we bring you some of the biggest highlights across the SEC from the Early National Signing Day 2025, as the SEC dominated the top classes, with Texas, Georgia and Alabama making up the Top 3. But not to be outdone, Auburn, LSU, Texas A&M, Tennessee, Florida and Mizzou all finished strong. 

We also break down the impact of these changes, alongside insights into the national signing day highlights and Lane Kiffin's fiery comments on the College Football Playoff rankings. With a focus on the SEC, we explore how these developments could reshape the future of college football, touching on Brian Kelly's thoughts on recruitment and Alabama's controversial ranking.
