<p>As the college football transfer portal continues to make headlines, its impact is being felt all the way down to the high school level. Prep Redzone scout Drew Johnson has been closely monitoring the transfer activity and some notable names are making moves. Kids have been transferring to different high schools for various reasons for many years. Still, the recent influx of high school transfer graphics and more is bringing extended coverage on where prospects are taking their talents. Some argue that it promotes a "win-at-all-costs" mentality and can lead to a lack of loyalty and commitment to a school and team. Others argue that it can create an uneven playing field, with some schools becoming powerhouses due to their ability to attract top talent through transfers. Despite these criticisms, this aspect of the game is here to stay and has already had a significant impact on high school sports. It will be interesting to see how it continues to evolve and how schools and coaches will adapt.</p>
