While most of the college programs around the country are knee-deep in spring practices, plenty of talented players are changing locations this offseason via graduate transfer. Over the past two weeks we looked at players who have already found new homes and figure to have a major impact this fall, but there are still plenty of players yet to announce their new homes for next year.
Today we look at 10 more uncommitted graduate transfers and analyze the potential impact they will have on the 2018 season.

JAWUAN JOHNSON
As a recruit: Ranked as a two-star safety in the class of 2014, Johnson initially committed to Charlotte before flipping to Northern Illinois just prior to the start of his senior season.
As a Husky: After redshirting and moving to linebacker, Johnson worked his way into the lineup in 2015, playing in 11 games and recording 31 tackles. After injuries limited his playing time in 2016, Johnson broke out with a huge season in 2017. He finished the year with 98 total tackles, including 18 for loss, while also intercepting five passes and scoring two defensive touchdowns. Johnson announced his intention to transfer last month and will have one year of eligibility remaining.
Schools in the mix: SMU, Baylor, TCU
Farrell’s Take: A big safety out of high school, Johnson wasn’t heavily recruited and was a bit of a ‘tweener because he didn’t have elite speed at his position. Now he’s proven to be a legit linebacker and stat stuffer who could make a huge impact for a team his final year.
