The college football transfer portal remains an active hub for talent as teams seek experienced players to enhance their rosters for the upcoming 2026 season. A notable addition to this market is Taariik Brett, a wide receiver from the Ferris State Bulldogs, who has officially declared his intention to transfer. This announcement came shortly after the conclusion of the Bulldogs” successful 2025 season, during which they secured their second consecutive Division II national championship.
Brett”s impressive collegiate career features a remarkable total of 2,643 all-purpose yards and 21 touchdowns over two seasons. His unique ability to score from various positions on the field has made him a valuable asset to his team. Standing at 5-foot-8 and weighing 175 pounds, this versatile athlete from Jonesboro, Georgia, is now looking for a new opportunity to showcase his skills.
In the recently completed 2025 campaign, Brett achieved an impressive 1,620 all-purpose yards, demonstrating his capacity as a triple threat. He accumulated 583 rushing yards, 533 receiving yards, and 504 yards on kickoff returns, scoring 16 total touchdowns, including nine through the air and six on the ground. His contributions were vital to the Bulldogs” dominance, and his consistent performance is evident in his season log, where he recorded 185 all-purpose yards in a game against Tiffin and 182 against Ashland.
Brett”s representative, Jaykwon Jefferson, confirmed the news of his transfer to 247Sports writer Cody Nagel. Since joining Ferris State, Brett has evolved into one of the most formidable offensive threats in college football. After seeing limited action in the 2023-24 season, where he recorded just 13 all-purpose yards, he exploded onto the scene the following year with his 1,023 yards in 2024-25.
As he enters the transfer portal, Brett leaves Ferris State with accolades that include being a two-time national champion. His next destination will provide him with the chance to demonstrate his abilities on a different collegiate stage as he approaches the final year of his eligibility.
