This offseason of college football may have had the most movement of players around the country we have ever seen.
Some of the players hitting the transfer portal was expected, as with the new one-time transfer rule there has been an all-time high of player movement as the athletes no longer have to sit behind someone and wait their turn.
However, the amount of quality of athletes playing what seemed to be the most interesting game of musical chairs ever was something that we did not expect.
Starting with the biggest storyline of the offseason, Oklahoma’s former head coach Lincoln Riley took the USC job, and superstar quarterback Caleb Williams followed him to California. Spencer Rattler also flew the coop, as he left Norman and is now in South Carolina.
The Riley-Williams saga seemed to have the whole college football world enamored, and Williams’ decision to transfer actually impacted where other quarterbacks like USC’s Jaxson Dart, Texas’ Casey Thompson, and UCF’s Dillon Gabriel ended up.
Now that all the dust has settled, it is safe to say that the Big 12 conference was one of the most affected by the large amount of quarterback movement, as a handful of the programs will likely be trotting out a quarterback that was playing at a different university last season.
A few Big 12 programs may have new starting quarterbacks that were already on the roster, such as Iowa State and TCU, but here are the new faces at quarterback to join the Big 12 this offseason.
