Transfer Portal Combine Brings Up to 600 College Football Players to Wheeling This December

WHEELING, W.Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 12, 2026--
Up to 600 college football players are expected in the Ohio Valley this holiday season for the Transfer Portal Combine (TPC), a two-day testing event at Highlands Sports Complex in Triadelphia on December 28 and 29, 2026.
The combine is open to current college football players at every level, from Division I through Junior College. Athletes complete five NFL Combine-style drills: the 40-yard dash, short shuttle and L-drill, electronically timed by Zybek Sports (the same system used at the NFL Combine), plus the vertical jump and standing broad jump. The results belong to the athlete.
"Every year, thousands of college players have to make a decision about their future with very little information to build value for themselves," said John Davis, president of League Source Academy, which owns and operates TPC. "We built TPC so every athlete can walk away with numbers they can trust and share on their own terms."
Testing is capped at 300 athletes per day and closed to spectators, so participants can focus on performing their best.
A holiday boost for the Ohio Valley
The combine brings hundreds of athletes to the Wheeling area during a typically slow travel week. TPC has arranged discounted room blocks at four hotels within two miles of the venue, and athletes will be eating, shopping and staying locally throughout their visit.
"Highlands Sports Complex gives us a first-class venue in a region that knows how to host," Davis said. "We're grateful to our partners at Highlands and in the Wheeling community for helping make this happen."
Registration is open at transferportalcombine.com through December 21, with early bird pricing through November 30. There is no on-site registration.
