As a recruit: A national recruit from early in his high school career, Gilbert shocked the recruiting world when he committed to LSU over Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma and several others.

Stats: Gilbert stepped right into the lineup this season as a true freshman and quickly became one of the Tigers biggest offensive weapons. Through eight games, he had 35 catches for 368 yards and two touchdowns.

Eligibility remaining: Four seasons

Farrell's Take: This is about as good as it gets when you’re talking about an impact player in the portal. He can play WR or TE, has looked great at LSU in his first year and had the ceiling of a Kyle Pitts at the college level. He’ll be going to a national title contender I’m sure and will be an instant difference maker if used properly.

As a recruit: Calcaterra had offers from coast-to-coast and as a high school All-American had his choice of schools. He ended up choosing Oklahoma during the spring of his junior year, thanks to a strong pitch from then offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley.

Stats: Calcaterra had a breakout year in 2018, catching 26 passes for 396 yards and six touchdowns while earning All-Big 12 honors. He came into 2019 with big expectations, but he played in just five games while dealing with concussion issues. He ended up taking a medial retirement late last year due to the same concussions. He decided to resume his career in 2020 and entered the portal, initially committing to Auburn, but backed off that pledge after Gus Malzahn was fired.

Eligibility remaining: Two seasons

Farrell's Take: Calcaterra was a big tight end out of high school with a great frame and a kid who could have played a few positions if needed. He had a great year in 2018 but concussions are a serious issue. It’s unclear how healthy he will be and if he’ll be cleared but he’s a very interesting option for someone. He clearly has high Power Five talent.
