Clemson Tigers quarterback Hunter Johnson will transfer from the school, according to multiple reports.
Johnson, a former five-star prospect and the No. 2 pro-style quarterback in the 2017 recruiting class, was competing with incumbent starter Kelly Bryant and five-star freshman Trevor Lawrence for the starting job in the spring but was largely seen as the third QB on the depth chart.
247sports reports that the coaching staff approached Johnson about being "part of a three-quarterback committee," which caused Johnson to leave as he is looking for an opportunity to start.
Purdue and Northwestern are rumored to be among the favorites to land Johnson, who is from Indiana.
He played in seven games as Bryant's backup last season, completing 21/27 passes for 234 yards and two touchdowns with one interception.
Johnson will have to sit out a year wherever he transfers but will have three years of eligibility remaining.
