Taylor said they are working with 11 transfers to recruit and get them admitted mid-year.

I hate that this is just a part of doing business in college football today.  I support players' right to transfer, just as I do any student.  But there is a real problem when Stanford might take 25 transfers through regular pathways, and half that number just for football.  like, are we pretending that this is anything other than "free agency" any more?

for 2023-24 Stanford admitted 67 transfers and enrolled 58, which is an increase from the recent past when the number was as you recalled ~25 (and in some year 10-15).  This total only includes students enrolling for the Fall quarter so transfers in other quarters should be added to this total

and the "official" transfer dates appear to be

- applied ~3/15
- notified ~5/15
- reply date ~6/1

which would not seem to apply for most athlete transfers.

back in the day (when I transferred in) my class (class of '82, I transferred in fall of 1979) ended up with ~200 transfers in total so a little over 10% of total '82 undergraduates (~1800), most appeared to arrive between winter quarter of their frosh year (so yes one quarter elsewhere (so I'm guessing a "late" acceptance as a transfer) through the beginning of junior year).  I don't know what the transfer out rate was then.
