How These Rankings Are Calculated
Each college’s “Overall” number is a count of alumni currently active on four-year rosters — NCAA Division I, II, and III, NAIA, NCCAA, and USCAA — as of the 2026 reporting period. This is a cumulative, point-in-time snapshot of where a program’s alumni are playing now, not a measure of how many players transferred out during the current season.
