Houston Cougars quarterback D’Eriq King is entering the NCAA’s transfer portal. King announced his decision during the National Championship Game:
I’ve entered the portal I think it’s best for me and my family!
— King (@DeriqKing_) January 14, 2020
Based on the timing, King may have interest and would be a good fit at LSU. The Georgia Bulldogs would have considered targeting him, but instead Jamie Newman, the former Wake Forest QB, is transferring to UGA.
The Cougars controversially asked players to redshirt this season after the team got off to a slow start. Now, they’re paying the price for this tactic.
King will draw interest from every elite program looking for their next quarterback. The Oregon Ducks, Oklahoma Sooners, and LSU Tigers are all looking for a potential new quarterback. Where will King land next? His decision will shape the 2020 college football season. He may be the next transfer quarterback to compete for the Heisman Trophy.
