Five things to know about the Purdue Boilermakers ahead of Monday’s Citrus Bowl

Here are five things you should know about this Purdue team, which will be without several top players and head coach Jeff Brohm.

LSU and Purdue will face off in the Citrus Bowl on Monday.

It’s the first meeting in the history of the two programs, and both squads are coming off losses in conference championship games This game will be impacted by opt-outs and the transfer portal, but Purdue could suffer more than LSU as the Boilermakers are without several of their top offensive players.

Purdue will also be led by an interim coach. After years of rumors, Jeff Brohm finally bounced in favor of his alma mater Louisville. This will be LSU’s first trip to the Citrus Bowl since 2017, where the Tigers lost in the final minutes to Brian Kelly’s Notre Dame.

Five remaining options for Notre Dame in their quest for a transfer quarterback

There are still plenty of solid options remaining in the portal for the Irish

The Irish haven’t had the best luck in finding a quarterback in the transfer portal. Yesterday, another big name was taken off the board when Texas’ [autotag]Hudson Card[/autotag] decided to head up North to the correct state, but not the right team, as he selected to continue his career at Purdue.

The list of intriguing options continues to dwindle, as [autotag]DJ Uiagalelei[/autotag] opted for [autotag]Oregon State[/autotag], [autotag]Devin Leary[/autotag] choose [autotag]Kentucky[/autotag], [autotag]Collin Schlee[/autotag] made a big jump from [autotag]Kent State[/autotag] to UCLA and [autotag]Graham Mertz[/autotag] picked Florida.

The Irish were connected to Card and Leary, but obviously both choose elsewhere to strap their helmets up next. Here are a few options for [autotag]Marcus Freeman[/autotag] and offensive coordinator [autotag]Tommy Rees[/autotag] that are still out in the portal that make sense for [autotag]Notre Dame[/autotag].

Auburn misses on another transfer quarterback for 2023

Auburn is running out of options if it wants to bring in a transfer quarterback for 2023.

If the Auburn Tigers are looking for a transfer quarterback, they’ll have to keep searching.

Texas quarterback Hudson Card, the third-highest ranked quarterback on 247Sports’ transfer portal rankings, decided on his new school Monday. It will not be Auburn.

He announced he intends to play for the Purdue Boilermakers in the Big Ten.

Ohio State transfer Quinn Ewers beat out Card for the starter’s role in 2022, but he filled in when Ewers was injured in the team’s game against Alabama. Card threw for 928 yards, six touchdowns and an interception before Ewers returned to his starting role later in the season.

Hugh Freeze and his staff showed interest in quarterbacks Devin Leary and Grayson McCall, but those hopes aren’t materializing for the Plains. Leary ended up committing to Kentucky and McCall canceled his planned Auburn visit. Card was the next highest-ranked quarterback to pursue.

There is still plenty of time left in the offseason, so it remains to be seen if Auburn brings in a quarterback from the portal or sticks with Robby Ashford, who will be a redshirt sophomore.

Texas quarterback Hudson Card headed to Indiana program

Which leaves Notre Dame chasing who?

Former Texas Longhorns starting quarterback Hudson Card entered the transfer portal earlier this winter and was quickly named as a possible target for Notre Dame. As it turns out he’s heading to the state of Indiana to play for a team who wears a gold helmet, but not for Notre Dame.

Card announced on Monday that his next stop will be Purdue.

Although it was always going to be tough to get Card aligned with Notre Dame due to him being an undergraduate transfer, it’s still another name off the portal list for the Irish.

Drew Pyne seemed to know Notre Dame was seeking a quarterback in the portal, hence why he transferred to Arizona State. The biggest name for Notre Dame fans to keep an eye on now is one that isn’t technically in the portal yet, Wake Forest quarterback Sam Hartman.

He has said he doesn’t plan to return to Wake Forest for a sixth season. Now if he officially enters the portal can Notre Dame close the deal like they’ve struggled to do to date in the portal this December?

Former Texas QB Hudson Card lands at Purdue

Hudson Card has found a new home.

After entering the NCAA transfer portal following the end of the regular season, Hudson Card has found his new home.

The former Texas quarterback is heading to play in the Big Ten Conference with the Purdue Boilermakers.

247Sports ranks Card as the No. 3 quarterback in the transfer portal. He has two years of eligibility remaining in his college career.

Card threw for 1,523 yards and 11 touchdowns in 19 games as a Longhorn. He played in four games at quarterback for Texas this season in place of the injured Quinn Ewers.

Texas’ quarterback room remains in good shape entering the offseason. Freshman Maalik Murphy moves into the backup role behind Quinn Ewers with five-star 2023 signee Arch Manning set to arrive in January.

Steve Sarkisian hinted at an open quarterback battle ahead of the 2023 season.

Transfer Portal Wishlist: 5 Players Alabama should try to land

Here are 5 players in the transfer portal Nick Saban should try to land for the 2023 season.

With the 2022 regular season in the books and bowl games in full effect, players from various all across the country are entering the transfer portal to find a new home for the 2023 season.

Nick Saban has utilized the transfer portal for a few years, and nearly every transfer he’s brought in found immediate success and thrived.

Offensive lineman Landon Dickerson transferred in from FSU, Jameson Williams from Ohio State, Jahmyr Gibbs from Georgia Tech. The list goes on and on, but you get the point.

The Crimson Tide’s 2022 season didn’t meet expectations. Though Alabama already has the top-rated 2023 recruiting class, why not look to the transfer portal for some additional help?

Here are five players we think Saban should have on his wishlist.

Tracking the Oregon QB dominoes with Dante Moore, Bo Nix, DJ Uiagalelei and more

At this point, there are a million different ways that Oregon’s QB situation could play out. Let’s try to keep them straight.

When it comes to the quarterback position for the Oregon Ducks, there are about a million different ways we could answer the question “who starts at QB in 2023?”

Will it be Bo Nix? That’s my odds-on favorite at the moment, but the Ducks’ 2022 starter had an opportunity to announce to the world that he’s coming back for another year with Oregon on Friday afternoon, and he instead kicked the can down the road.

Will it be five-star recruit Dante Moore? If you asked me a week ago, I would have said that he is a likely option, but the way the recruiting world has unfolded over the past few days makes that seem rather unlikely at this point.

What about a transfer who isn’t on the roster? That’s a reasonable path, and there are a number of viable available options who would likely love to play in Eugene.

While there can’t be multiple answers to this question, it’s easy to see how all of these options are connected in some way or another. Over the past few days, it’s become incredibly confusing to keep track of who is going where, and what school is looking at what player — so much so that you might be better off with a ball of string, some push pins and a cork-board as we get down to the end of the recruiting cycle.

Let’s dive into what we know and see what it tells us about where the Ducks go from here.

Who’s next at QB for Florida? Here are some transfer portal options

Here are some of the top names to keep an eye on in the transfer portal as the Gators look for their next signal-caller.

Florida football faces some serious attrition at the quarterback position after the departure of starter [autotag]Anthony Richardson[/autotag] to the NFL draft and the dismissal of [autotag]Jalen Kitna[/autotag] from the program due to criminal charges. Add the revocation of 2023 recruit [autotag]Marcus Stokes[/autotag]’ scholarship due to unacceptable behavior, and [autotag]Billy Napier[/autotag] has quite a pickle to deal with this offseason.

The good news is the program has done very well bolstering its depth under center for the long term, earning commitments from 2023 five-star signal-caller [autotag]Jaden Rashada[/autotag] as well as 2024’s [autotag]DJ Lagway[/autotag].

Unfortunately, there is only [autotag]Jack Miller III[/autotag] and a few other untested young gunslingers to help bridge the quarterback room in the interim, which means the Gators will need to dip into the NCAA transfer portal for at least one potential starter in 2023.

Take a look below at the list of potential transfer portal targets Gators Online’s Nick de la Torre put together in the second edition of his hot board, along with some relevant rankings and stats to go along with them.

247Sports: ‘Things have been relatively quiet in the QB market with Notre Dame’

Not the best news, but not the worst

The Irish need to add another quarterback ahead of the 2023 season. [autotag]Drew Pyne[/autotag] has already entered the portal and even though [autotag]Tyler Buchner[/autotag] is healthy for the [autotag]TaxSlayer Gator Bowl[/autotag], the need is still there to add another sign caller.

The news that we would have liked to hear was that they are trending towards one of the elite quarterback, but unfortunately according to a report by 247Sports Chris Hummer, “things have been relatively quiet in the quarterback market with [autotag]Notre Dame[/autotag], but that doesn’t mean the Irish aren’t shopping.”

What it means to me, is that no one is currently buying, as Hummer has linked former [autotag]Texas[/autotag] quarterback [autotag]Hudson Card[/autotag] to the Irish “but here are some other QB options that could end up popping up down the line.” He also mentioned [autotag]Devin Leary[/autotag] as an option but it looks like [autotag]Kentucky[/autotag] might be the leader for the former [autotag]NC State[/autotag] quarterback.

As [autotag]Marcus Freeman[/autotag] and offensive coordinator [autotag]Tommy Rees[/autotag] continue to try and sell quarterbacks on what [autotag]Jack Coan[/autotag] did two seasons ago as a transfer, we continue to take the wait-and-see approach with the Irish’s pursuit of a transfer quarterback.
