In 2019, one site indicates 2352 applied to transfer and 1.15% were accepted, making transfer about 3 times as selective as Stanford's already lowest-in-the-world 3.67% general acceptance rate.   Other sites say that the number varies between 25-40.

Back in my day the number of transfers varied depending on how much attrition we had in a class, but 50  transfers out of 1500 was sometimes possible.  That number appears to have gone down even as the size of the class has gone up.  I'm guessing that it is because attrition rates have fallen.

Basically, USC had as many transfer students on its football team last year as Stanford probably had for the entire university.

Yes. That was the past, but it's a new era. Wouldn't be difficult for an energetic and persuasive coach to convince the powers that be in admissions (or their superiors) of that. Wish we had one. . . .
