Transfers are becoming more prevalent on a yearly basis in college football, and the changing of schools can include players who were thought to be the nation’s best during their time in high school. Will a change of scenery lead to some former stars living up to their rankings? We take a look at five former five-stars who are set to re-emerge at new programs this fall.

A five-star in the class of 2015, Johnson actually finished ranked as the nation’s No. 1 wide receiver. He saw the field as a freshman at LSU, hauling in nine passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns, but decided to leave following that year because of his desire to play in a more pass-happy offense. Johnson landed at Oklahoma State, where he sat out 2016 and is expected to be a big part of the high-powered Cowboys offense that already includes talented wide receiver like James Washington, Marcell Ateman and Jalen McCleskey.

Browne was the nation’s No. 7 overall player in the class of 2013 and was ranked ahead of future stars like Jonathan Allen, Reuben Foster and Jalen Ramsey. After waiting for his turn to start with the Trojans, he began the 2016 season as the main man under center, only to be replaced by Sam Darnold after a slow start to the season. After earning his degree at USC, Browne transferred to Pittsburgh and is eligible to play immediately in 2017. He’s expected to enter the year as the Panthers' starter and is hoping to finally live up to his ranking and earn a shot at the NFL.

Allen was the nation’s No. 1 quarterback in 2014 and seemed like he was bound for stardom after Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel left early for the NFL Draft. But after an up-and-down freshman season and a sophomore season that saw him battle with freshman Kyler Murray for playing time, Allen left the Aggies by the end of his sophomore season. He transferred to Houston to play for coach Tom Herman and sat out the 2016 season. Herman is gone and Allen remains as the likely starter for Houston. Can new coach Major Applewhite help Allen tap into his once immense potential that saw him earn a ranking higher than Deshaun Watson? Cougars fans are hoping so.

Barnett opened the season as Alabama’s starter in the same game that Browne started for USC. Barnett threw just six passes and quickly lost his grasp on the job to freshman Jalen Hurts, who ended up leading Alabama to the national championship game. Barnett left the team in the middle of the season and eventually landed at Arizona State, where he received a waiver to be eligible to start the season for the Sun Devils. A one time five-star in the class of 2015 who later finished just out of the five-star ranks, Barnett’s dual-threat ability could be a natural fit in Arizona State’s high-powered offense.

Tyner is probably the most unusual name on this list, having been a five-star all the way back in 2013 and not having seen the field since the end of the 2014 season. Tyner, who was ranked as a five-star in the same class as Derrick Henry and Ezekiel Elliott, rushed for 1,284 yards and 14 touchdowns at Oregon during his first two seasons before medically retiring following a shoulder injury. Tyner essentially vanished from the football scene after that, attending classes at Oregon as a regular student. However earlier this year he elected to transfer to Oregon State and revive his career with the Beavers. Nobody quite knows what to expect from Tyner, but if and when he sees the field in Corvallis it will add another layer to the storied rivalry between the two programs.
