On Monday, the first player to hit the transfer portal from UCF surfaced, and that player is a big one.
On3’s Joe Tipton was the first to announce that senior guard Jaylin Sellers has decided to go portaling following an injury-filled season with the Knights.
In 2024-25, Sellers saw action in just three games, averaging six points per game. His season was kept in check due to an injury early into the non-conference slate. In 2023-24, Sellers posted 15.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game.
Coming out of Carver High School in the Class of 2021, Sellers was listed as an unranked prospect by 247Sports. He elected to commit to Ball State, where he spent two seasons developing into an elite scorer.
The transfer portal officially opens on Monday, March 24, 2025. According to NCAA data, 1,296 FBS basketball players entered the transfer portal in 2023-24 school year, with 864 (66.7%) undergraduates and 432 (33.3%) graduate transfers. Of the entrants, 70% reported that they enrolled in another school, 6% withdrew their names from the portal, and 23% are still active, transferred to a non-NCAA school, or left their sport.
