Arizona QB Grant Gunnell to transfer to Memphis

If you were hoping the Arizona Wildcats could convince Grant Gunnell to stay in Tucson, that possibility was dashed Thursday when the sophomore quarterback announced his decision to transfer to Memphis.

Gunnell entered the transfer portal shortly after Arizona fired Kevin Sumlin, though it seems he would have done that no matter what the Wildcats decided to do with their head coaching position.

“In high school, my coach gave me a lot of freedom, and he allowed me to make decisions at the line of scrimmage and make checks,” Gunnell told 247Sports.
