2022-23 Transfer Portal Tracker: Quarterback

The names are flying into the portal — stay up to date with them ALL right here!

What can landing a quarterback get you? Look no further than USC, which landed former prized recruit [autotag]Caleb Williams[/autotag] shortly after Lincoln Riley’s arrival a year ago. All the sophomore has done is lead USC’s charge to a possible College Football Playoff appearance by having a Heisman Trophy-worthy season.

After sitting through nearly an entire season of [autotag]Drew Pyne[/autotag], a few things are clear: He plays his heart out each time he’s on the field. He clearly loves Notre Dame. His teammates love him. And his ceiling simply isn’t high enough to help the Irish win big. Combine that with inexperience and injury issues to Notre Dame’s other quarterbacks, and it’s easy to see why the Irish appear headed to the portal to bring in a quarterback for 2023.

Here is the updated list of quarterbacks who have entered the transfer portal since August. Some have chosen new programs; the vast majority have not.

Will Wisconsin QB Jack Coan stay in the Big Ten? A few landing spots could make sense

If Coan stays in the Big Ten, these destinations might make sense

With news this morning that Wisconsin quarterback Jack Coan has entered the transfer portal, teams in the Power Five will be knocking at his door.

With a year of eligibility left, the former Badger starter is ready to bounce back from a foot injury that sidelined him before the season began. In 2019, Coan led Wisconsin to a Rose Bowl appearance and Big Ten Championship appearance with 18 touchdowns and only five interceptions. He stepped up in clutch moments with a career performance at Minnesota to seal the Big Ten West title for Wisconsin.

While it’s all speculation this early in the process, there are Big Ten destinations for the New York native that make sense. Badger fans will definitely want the senior out of the conference, so they don’t have to root against him, but multiple programs could come calling.

NEXT… a look at which Big Ten programs would be a possible fit

QB Graham Mertz is ‘taking reps with the ones’ following Jack Coan’s injury

The Badgers are turning to Graham Mertz following Coan’s foot injury

During Wisconsin head coach Paul Chryst’s Monday morning press conference, the QB room was the story following a report from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel of Jack Coan suffering a foot injury in Saturday’s practice.

After confirming Coan’s injury and providing additional details surrounding how it took place, Chryst went on to mention who has been taking the first-team reps in practice.

“Graham [Mertz] is taking all the reps with the ones,” noted Chryst when asked about who would step in behind Coan.

To nobody’s surprise, it is the redshirt-freshman Mertz who is ready to take the reigns for as long as Coan is out. The four-star 2019 recruit is the highest-rated Wisconsin QB signee in the modern era of recruiting. Although the Badgers will be without their leader, Mertz flashed next-level ability at the high school level that should have UW fans feeling that this team is still in the Big Ten West driver’s seat.
