30 proven transfers in, carrying the production below from their prior school.

• Colton Joseph QB ← Old Dominion 150 impact

Impact scores offensive skill additions (QB/RB/WR/TE) — prior-season production normalized within position (100 ≈ a 90th-percentile producer at that spot) and discounted for non-FBS competition, so a top back counts alongside a top quarterback. Defensive and O-line additions count as transfers but aren't box-score measurable, so they carry no impact score. The rating figure is this class's portal contribution vs. the FBS average, capped at ±2.5.

• 3rd-down conversion 29.0% 13th — bottom tier
• Red-zone TD rate 17.6% 76th — strong
• 4th-down aggression 35.7% 48th — average
• Late & close 2.6 yds/play 14th — bottom tier

Percentile is across all FBS teams with play-by-play data for the season. "Late & close" is yards per play in Q4+ with a one-score margin — a proxy for clutch offensive performance.
