STANFORD, Calif. — With the winter quarter underway at Stanford, Bradford M. Freeman Director of Football Troy Taylor officially welcomed six transfers to the program. These six are the most transfers the football program has taken on during the winter quarter, adding to the three freshmen who joined as early enrollees.
Stanford has added three wide receivers and two offensive linemen on the offensive side of the ball, and a linebacker on the defensive side. Four of these six transfers come from “Power 4” conferences, and three came from teams that qualified for a bowl game in 2024.
