Most intriguing questions heading into the 2019 college football season

Which QB transfer will make the biggest impact at his new school?

This somehow feels like the age of transfer quarterbacks with this offseason being the pinnacle of moves. Several of them joined big-time schools, while a few talented guys left those contenders to be the star at smaller programs, after they were replaced. These are the guys I will be following closely.

Jalen Hurts was 25-2 as a starter over his first two years with Alabama, only throwing one interception compared to 25 scrimmage touchdowns in 2017. When Tua Tagovailoa took over in the second half of the National Championship game versus Georgia, Hurts never got his job back. However, he did lead the Tide back versus those Bulldogs last season and showed a lot of improvement as a passer. Can Lincoln Riley turn him into another Heisman candidate?

Whilst we’re talking about Georgia, the Bulldogs landed the nation’s number two recruit Justin Fields last year. He looked sharp in spring and saw at least some action in 12 games, where he showed a dynamic arm and athleticism as a runner. Due to dissatisfaction about his role with Jake Fromm as the starter and some racial comments he encountered with, he decided to transfer to Ohio State. There he will team up with a great offensive mind in Ryan Day to kickstart his collegiate career.

And with that, we move on the way Tate Martell did from OSU to Miami, once the Fields news broke. Two years ago Malik Rosier looked like the guy to bring “The U” back to glory, throwing for over 3000 yards and 26 touchdowns while leading his team to an ACC Championship game appearance. He regressed mightily last season, when sharing time with N’Kosi Perry who certainly outplayed him, but overall the two combined for just over 2000 passing yards and 19 TDs to 14 INTs. Martell could take over and have a lot more success under former Alabama assistant Dan Enos.

There’s a bunch of other guys, such as Clemson’s Kelly Bryant going to the SEC to join the Missouri Tigers, another former Clemson QB in Hunter Johnson who had to sit out a year but will be first five-star QB to play for Northwestern, Brandon Wimbush leaving Notre Dame to continue UCF’s incredible success for a Non-Top Conference team and Jacob Eason who sat out a year after transferring from Georgia and is now looking to win the Pac-12 with Washington.
