It’s transfer season. \u00a0With the passing of each year, \u00a0folks in the world of college football this offseason have had the opportunity to use the word “transfer” with increasing regularity. Once a thing that was\u00a0rare, \u00a0college football transfers are happening as frequently as a blown bulb on a Baylor Bears scoreboard. Most interesting during this offseason are the number of quarterback transfers that are occurring. \u00a0We seem to be at the point now where we are getting at least one per week.<\/p>\n

Today alone, we were treated to the announcement of two. \u00a0Florida Atlantic’s Greg Hankerson, once a starter for the Owls, announced that he will be leaving the program in search of greener pastures. At the same time, one of UCLA’s quarterbacks,\u00a0Asiantii Woulard, who was competing for the open spot with Brett Hundley’s departure, formerly stepped out of the race by announcing he would be transferring.<\/p>\n

It seems more than anyone else, \u00a0quarterbacks are willing to do what they need to do to get their opportunity. \u00a0Nowadays, losing the QB battle in the Spring, almost certainly means someone’s going to transfer. \u00a0Former Oklahoma St. QB Dax Garman packed the moving fan for the 2nd time in his career this offseason when he announced he would be leaving the Cowboys to go to Maryland. \u00a0Garman began his career at Arizona before moving to Stillwater and then Maryland.<\/p>\n

The biggest QB move this offseason was Notre Dame’s Everett Golson who just about upset the Florida St. Seminoles in 2014. Golson announced he would be joining the Garnett and Gold in 2015. \u00a0Of course, \u00a0all eyes are still on Columbus, Ohio as fans await to see if and who will be departing from the three headed race taking place for the starting QB job for the defending national champs. \u00a0The odds on favorite is Braxton Miller who will be a senior in 2015 and has graduated. \u00a0Just last week, \u00a0Urban Meyer announced that Miller would not be transferring nor changing positions for the Buckeyes. \u00a0That still doesn’t stop the public at large from engaging in the Braxton Miller watch.<\/p>\n

List of QB Transfers in FBS this Off Season<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Interestingly, \u00a0the Michigan Wolverines end up with a pair of transfers this offseason with both being from the same high school. \u00a0Both Jake Ruddock and John O’Korn were state championship quarterbacks for St. Thomas Aquinas in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.<\/p>\n

I am certain that this list does not show all of the QB transfers from FBS schools and I am also sure that we have not seen the end of it. \u00a0A trend is starting here and it’s one for us to follow closely. \u00a0Of note, \u00a0high school football quarterbacks, \u00a0you better start paying attention to what is going on. \u00a0Your signing day choice is not one to be taken lightly.<\/p>\n
