Overall I agree with your point, but Caleb Williams, whose head coach and OC both left, and Xavier Carlton, who only started 2 games and played fewer and fewer snaps as the year went on, are weird examples with which to make it. Try GT star running back Jahmyr Gibbs transferring to Alabama, or one of Cal's starting OL transferring to Oklahoma. THAT'S free agency.

Also, a quick nit: Caleb Williams was never offered by Stanford. Door #1.
