The portal period now runs from Jan. 2-16, with an extra five-day window (Jan. 20-24) for teams playing in the national championship. The spring portal window in April is no longer<\/a> a part of the schedule, so January is the only open window for teams to add via the portal in 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hear where Fernando Mendoza\u2019s Heisman Trophy journey began USA TODAY’s Rick Jervis discusses where things began for
