Sources: Athan Kaliakmanis named Rutgers' new starting QB

There's a changing of the guard at quarterback at Rutgers, as transfer Athan Kaliakmanis has been named the starter after his performance this spring, sources told ESPN.

Gavin Wimsatt, who has started 18 games for the Scarlet Knights the last two years, has initiated the process of entering the NCAA transfer portal, sources told ESPN. He'll have two years of eligibility remaining.

That will leave Kaliakmanis leading a Rutgers team next year that returns 15 starters and has stirred some quiet optimism in the Big Ten coming off a 7-6 season.
