Quarterback Transfers Gone Wild

cloverleaf · May 21, 2019

Did you know that all but eight of the teams ranked in the final Coaches Poll to end
last season have lost a scholarship backup quarterback to transfer since last August.
Developing a starting QB is hard enough, keeping a solid backup across multiple
seasons has become nearly impossible. Is this transfer mess getting out of hand for
football's continued success?

*Oklahoma will start a transfer at quarterback for the third straight season. What
ever happened to recruiting a kid and developing him as the starter?

I read something this morning that Stanford is the ONLY team out of all 130 teams that did NOT have a players use the transfer portal

Good for Stanford. It says volumes about the school and why its players really want to go there.

Oklahoma will start a transfer QB for the fifth straight season. A different transfer in each of the last three. Yet they are successful year in and year out. Good system!
Alabama has an assistant coaches revolving door, yet they are successful, a bit more than the Sooners, year in and year out. Good system!

Times are a changing, that's for sure! And it's a double edge sword. Players with talent sitting behind someone else should be able to move on. But what about the ones who need a wakeup call, a kick in the pants? They can just pack up when the going gets tough. Never will learn a thing.

Changes the way coaches coach too. Don't be too tough or they will pack their bags! Will be interesting how this plays out over the next several years.

Chase Brice is sticking around, so that's one more thing for Clemson fans to be thankful for.

Brice must really like Clemson because he could start for a lot of schools. Good, loyal backup, especially since
the Tigers have a hot-shot 5-star QB recruit coming in. Dabo has said Brice will play in the NFL.

Running back Tavien Feaster entered the portal back in April and has drawn interest from Texas, Alabama, Oklahoma,
Mississippi State and Virginia Tech. He was second team behind junior Travis Etienne who rushed for 1,658 yards, 24
touchdowns and averaged 8.1 yards per carry during the 2018 season. Feaster has started 11 of 41 games during his
career with Clemson.

At the Cotton Bowl, I sat on the aisle across from the Clemson players' families. Brice's parents must be divorced because Mom was sitting next to a guy who looked like Hugh Freeze, while Dad was immediately recognizable given the facial resemblance and the fact he's big as a bear.

When Brice entered the game the families gave him a huge welcome. I asked his dad after the game whether that's because the players love Chase or because the families like Chase's family. He kind of pointed toward the latter. He said they have a lot of fun, so he might be happy to see Chase stick around.

He was huge against Syracuse. The fourth-down throw was huge enough, but on the next play he pulled the ball on a "zone read" and rambled for 17 yards. Todd Blackledge said he foooled everybody, and he was right -- it even fooled the Clemson coaches, who had called a straight handoff to the tailback. That takes balls.

Across the entire 65 schools in the Power Five in 2018, just two teams featured a
senior quarterback on scholarship who had remained with the program for 4 years
of eligibility without earning the starting role.

LSU had a Stanford transfer last season

This asshole graduated from Stanford and could not maintain academic standing.....and failed out of LSU. Can you believe that? Also, an ancillary effect of his failing to meet academic standards at LSU as a graduate transfer, LSU will be punished and not allowed to accept ANY grad transfers for a period of time

that was a grad transfer and not a player who used the transfer portal.

Funny how a guy with a Stanford degree flunked out of LSU

As many as half of the Big Ten's starting quarterbacks this year could be quarterbacks
that transferred from other schools. Take a look....

Ohio State: Justin Fields (Georgia)
Michigan: Shea Patterson (Ole Miss)
Northwestern: Hunter Johnson (Clemson)
Maryland: Josh Jackson (Virginia Tech)
Rutgers: McLane Carter (Texas Tech)
Illinois: Matt Fink (Southern Cal)
Indiana: Jack Tuttle (Utah)

Penn State and Wisconsin both lost notable quarterbacks to transfer out. Tommy
Stevens, who is viewed as a potential starter for Penn State, is still in the transfer
portal and is reportedly considering Illinois, Mississippi State, Kentucky and Miami.
Alex Hornibrook, Wisconsin's starting quarterback for the majority of the past three
seasons, transferred to Florida.

Some crazy stuff going on in the CFB world especially when someone would want to
transfer to Illinois...now that is nuts.

Tommy Stevens is going to Mississippi State following his old OC Joe Moorehead. Announced it last Friday. Stevens has had injury troubles throughout his career.

Hornibrook to Florida state, not Florida. I am pretty sure he was a grad transfer. Funny how the old FSU qb (Deandre Francois) just transfered to FAU to play for Lane Kiffin
